Netanyahu Offers 'Peace,' Demands Generations of War
Netanyahu generously declares he's giving “peace a chance.” This, from the same leader who torpedoed the two-state solution at every turn since the 1990s, proclaiming it dead in 2015 and reiterating his hardline stance this very year. His definition of 'peace' seems to involve an endless generational war against any Palestinian aspiration for self-determination, packaged as battling 'fanaticism.'
It’s the same old tune with new victims. How many centuries will it take for 'fanaticism' to disappear to Netanyahu’s satisfaction? One might wonder if the real 'fanaticism' is the belief that an entire people will simply vanish, or that a military occupation can ever truly bring peace. This isn't giving peace a chance; it's giving continued subjugation another PR spin. The media plays along,
allowing this loop of violent rhetoric to appear as legitimate policy debate.
