Rahm Emanuel just proposed his preferred Democratic Party policy on Israel: Our strongest ally must forfeit its historic heartland for the creation of a 22nd Arab state or face sanctions and a severing of the American alliance. In doing so, he showcased his misunderstanding of reality. Emanuel’s remarks displayed a contrast in how to address failed ideas. President Donald Trump signed an awful ceasefire agreement with Iran just a few weeks ago. After continual violations of the deal by the Iranian regime, he announced the deal was over. Just this week, the president explained he soured on Iran’s newer regime leaders after getting to know them. Better to cut one’s losses, despite the embarrassment. Contrast this with Emanuel’s recalcitrance. Emanuel admitted Palestinian leadership is corrupt, funds terrorists who kill Jews, and teaches young children to hate Jews. He acknowledged they rejected three successive peace offers since the early 1990s, responding with the terrorist intifada. Yet Emanuel’s only suggestion was for Israel to consider suicidally trying to redo the same failed overtures. After embracing the two-state solution under former President Bill Clinton, the Democratic Party policy establishment is now incapable of admitting that the idea has disastrously failed. Instead, they’ve stood firm on the notion.
Poisoning truth: The four lies in Rahm Emanuel's case against Israel
Israel's stock market is soaring, Hezbollah is crumbling, and Iran's nuclear program is in ruins. So, why does the two-state solution keep getting recycled?
