Sometimes, Pro-Hamas protesters and social media accounts say, “The Palestinians want a state. They deserve a state.” But what does this mean?
Let’s break this sentence into two parts:
- The Palestinians want a state:
- This statement refers to the “Palestinian mission” of the eradication and delegitimization of the State of Israel and the creation of a Palestinian state instead.
- A Palestinian state, as envisioned by some extremists, would be governed by Sharia Islamic law and other radical Islamic principles.
- The creation of a “State of Palestine” as proposed by these groups would require the complete destruction of the State of Israel.
- They deserve a state:
- This part of the sentence refers to the supposed right of the Palestinians to claim the land of Israel as their own.
- A right for the creation of the Palestinian state calls for the complete destruction of the State of Israel
