Israel's Knesset passes bill rejecting Palestinian statehood

Israel’s Knesset passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state on Thursday.

The bill, co-sponsored by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition along with right-wing parties in the opposition, was passed by an overwhelming majority of 68 votes, with only nine MKs voting against it.

Benny Gantz, seen by many leaders in the West as a more moderate figure than Netanyahu, voted in favour of the bill, along with his party.

  • They hadn't already done that years ago?

    • Israel was pretending that it was the Palestinians that refused to compromise for a 2 state solution. With all the heaps of carefully crafted Hasbara and liberals selling people on israeli white nationalism, nobody took the time to figure out the real story.

      Now that everyone knows that israel is the aggressor they have no valid defense left to not recognize a Palestinian state. Especially in the West Bank.

      So israel now goes mask off and reveals their very obvious initial position: they want to expand their Lebensraum and exterminate all Palestinians. And israel hopes that if they scream "self defense" hard enough while bribing politicians everyone will keep supporting their Genocide.

      • they scream "self defense" hard enough while bribing politicians everyone will keep supporting their Genocide.

        And should you happen to be a supporter of human rights and international law they will scream "antisemitism" hard enough until you lose your job.
