Green Party: Israel must surrender

Sadly, and in defiance of all logic, reason, and humanity, the Green Party of the US has issued an edict calling Israel a criminal nation that must surrender to Palestinian terror. Conspiciously there is no condemnation or even acknowledgement of any Palestinian responsibility to end the oft quoted ‘cycle of violence’ there, only a call for Israel’s surrender.

"Israel's treatment of Palestinians -- those who are Israeli citizens as well as those in the territories -- is comparable in many ways to South African apartheid, and has resulted in a cycle of violence and lack of security for both Israelis and Palestinians," said Mohammed Abed, a member of the Green Party of Wisconsin. "A stable and just resolution of the conflict requires the full realization of the human rights of Palestinians and Israelis." Green Party

Sadly, this position is either one of profound ignorance, or insidious hatred and anti-semitism. How can anyone who calls themselves liberal, (or progressive) and all that such self-identification entails, overlook the intense hatred of Jews as a component in this conflict? An anology would be blaming the North for the Civil War, completely ignoring slavery as an issue, and calling for the North to surrender in order to 'break the cycle of violence'.

This Week's Palestinian Authority Sermon: We (Muslims) Will Rule America; Israel is a Cancer; Jews are a Virus Resembling AIDS; Muslims Will Finish Them Off

"With the establishment of the state of Israel, the entire Islamic nation was lost, because Israel is a cancer spreading through the body of the Islamic nation, and because the Jews are a virus resembling AIDS, from which the entire world suffers.

"You will find that the Jews were behind all the civil strife in this world. The Jews are behind the suffering of the nations... memri.org

David Duke, beloved strawman Republican for the left, is on speaking tour throughout the Middle East and is being very well received.

Just how are these full realizations of Palestinian and Israeli human rights to occur?

The Green Party is already on record as supporting the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and to receive compensation for their losses; immediate Israeli withdrawal from all lands acquired since 1967, including the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem (see news.independent.co.uk...); maintenance of Jerusalem as a shared city open to people of all faiths; suspension of U.S. military and foreign aid to Israel; complete dismantling of the Israeli separation wall; and serious consideration of a single secular, democratic state as the national home of both Israelis and Palestinians. Greens have affirmed the right of self-determination for both Palestinians and Israelis.

Strangely, these are similiar to the 'Palestinian terms of surrender' for Israel. Only the Green Party's version is missing the final step, or final solution if you like, of purging the land of all jews. Strange that the Green Party doesn't mention anything about that.

Could it be that the rejection of the original 'one state solution' is the reason Palestinians lost their homes in the first place?

If Palestinians decided to renounce terrorism and violence and seek true peace, a one state solution would be possible because it is not in Israel's interest to kill Palestinians. The occupation doesn't exist because of Israeli desires to oppress Palestinians, it exists because Arab hatred for Jews was more important than keeping homes.

Why wouldn't the far-left Green Party come to the conclusion that they should pressure the Palestinians to stop acts of terror in order to stop the conflict?

Israel, like us, is a democratic state. The Palestinians on the other hand prefer a more fascist state where the PA controls all media, all elections, and Palestinian 'Israeli collaborators' are routinely shot in the street.
