Israel and the Palestinians

For John, BLUF:  How does this end?  If it means the end of Israel, God allowing, then we need to make space for the Israelis in our nation.  Maybe in the Upper Midwest.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Abbas Doubles Down on ‘Pay-to-Slay’ Policy, Says Palestinians Will ‘March Into Jerusalem By the Millions’

From Jewish Journal, by Mr Aaron Bandler, 22 August 2019.

Here is the lede plus one:

Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas continued to defend the PA’s “pay-to-slay” policy of paying terrorists to murder Israelis in an Aug. 10 speech and declared that the Palestinians will one day “march into Jerusalem by the millions.”

Abbas gave the speech at the Jalazone Refugee Camp, which is close to Ramallah.  In his message to Israel, he said:  “Every stone you have built on our land and every house you have built on our land – there is no escaping that they will disappear, Allah willing.  And the more they announce houses here or settlements there – they will all disappear, Allah willing, and will be in the garbage dump of history.”

The question is, if the Palestinian Authority rejects the nation of Israel, what is the basis for peace?  Submission?  Is that what the Squad (Gang of Four) seeks?
