Netanyahu's 'Unchanged' Stance: A History of U.S. Complicity
The New Arab reports Netanyahu's firm stance against Palestinian statehood, a position he's consistently held, effectively neutering any U.S. 'peace process' charade. This 'unchanged' rhetoric isn't new; it echoes his statements from the late 90s, the 2000s, and most recently, 2015, when he explicitly stated 'there will be no Palestinian state.' Yet, U.S. presidents across administrations have
continued to arm, fund, and diplomatically shield successive Israeli governments led by Netanyahu, despite this explicit rejection of their stated two-state solution. This unwavering opposition means every U.S. billion in military aid—like the recent $14 billion package passed with votes from politicians who received millions from entities like AIPAC (OpenSecrets.org data confirms significant
donations)—effectively subsidizes the dismantling of future Palestinian sovereignty. One might question: How many times does a leader have to say 'no state' before the U.S. officially acknowledges a peace process isn't just 'complicated' but actively sabotaged by its primary beneficiary?
