So you suggest Bibi back off from this statement is a lie but the first statement isn't?I think you needed to word your question differently!
You cannot ask the question and then preface it with "regardless of their general position about certain situations"...
Regardless of the oppression and blockade of Gaza?
Regardless of the occupied territories?
Regardless of the restrictions of movement?
Regardless of the resistance of Israel to allow a Palestinian state?
Regardless of incursions into Gaza?
Regardless of illegal settlements?
And on, and on, and on....
You cannot just take "rocket fire" in isolation.... It could be considered a retaliation, a reaction to an action...
I do not support violence in any form so, in isolation, my answer to your question has to be "No"!
As I have said many times before...
Israel must take steps, as the 'occupying power', as the 'stronger force', to start taking steps to remove the blockade, to allow the Palestinians to 'feel' that they can make steps to creating a Palestinian state...
To preempt your 'security of Israel' response...
Israel has the 4th most powerful military in the world... You cannot seriously believe that Hamas can trouble Israel with attacks? Using this argument for not lifting blockades etc etc is a pretty lame one these days...
Here's a view point for you....
Lift the blockades, start removing the illegal settlers and then, should rocket fire continue, Israel should REQUEST that a 3rd party, a military 'peace keeping' force, enter Gaza in an attempt to quash the terrorist activities within.
What about the violence towards Israel
The terrorist attacks on Israel
The targeting of children by arab muslims
The blood libels
The LIES
Now how about a link to this 4th largest military, and while you are at it a link to Israel stopping the arab muslims from having a state.
How about this as another viewpoint.
The arab muslims to stop all violence, terrorism and belligerence as they agreed to do
To sit down and talk peace and mutual borders.
To agree to banishment if they fire one more rocket
And to allow Israel to fulfil International law of 1923and have Jerusalem as their capital city.
Now how about a link to this 4th largest military, and while you are at it a link to Israel stopping the arab muslims from having a state.
"Israel's PM Netanyahu: No Palestinian state on my watch"
Netanyahu No Palestinian state on my watch - CNN.com
396 Palestinian National Council political statement and declaration of independence- 14 November 1988
The session culminated in the announcement of the rise of the Palestinian state in our Palestinian land
Now where in this does it say that Israel has stopped Palestine from being a state. You see Israeli's cant stop the Palestinians from taking the next step and declaring their free determination, but the P.A. can and do.
If, as you clearly suggest, Israel has no power to stop a Palestinian state would this happen...?
Israel's PM Netanyahu: "No Palestinian state on my watch"
I'm not sure who I was talking to but I've already explained what a brilliant political maneuver it was..Apologies for the lazy attitude but you can find the post in my post history search.
It was a brilliant political move but given his history, and substantiated lack of effort towards a 2-state solution plus increased settlement building - I think there was truth in that - a lot of truth.
