Here’s what’s wild: the Israelis have never offered the Palestinians a state, ever. That’s a fact. But if you say that here in the U.S. you sound like a madman, because the line here is that they kept turning down great offers. Now finally this extreme right wing govt in Israel is saying out loud that they have never offered that to the Palestinians. Here’s Mark Regev talking about how even Yitzhak Rabin, before he was assassinated, said in a major speech: “the Palestinians will have less than a state.” It’s utterly disorienting to see them admitting all this, even though it’s basic, easily obtained historical knowledge. It’s just always been lied about here.
