The president also released a statement earlier in the day about the “horrific and ongoing attacks in Israel,” which the United States “unequivocally condemns.” He added that “Terrorism is never justified. Israel has a right to defend itself and its people. The United States warns against any other party hostile to Israel seeking advantage in this situation. My Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.”

Jake Wallis Simons @JakeWSimons:
So many enablers of Islamist fascism blaming Israel for the assault against it! Bear this in mind: a Palestinian state could have been a reality many times over by now, including in 1948, an opportunity which was rejected by the extremists who had come to dominate the leadership. Another revealing moment came in 2008, when after intensive negotiations, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert tabled an unprecedented offer. Its terms included: 94 per cent of the West Bank given to the Palestinians, with 6 per cent of Israeli land added to make up the difference; East Jerusalem placed under Palestinian sovereignty, making it the capital of a Palestinian state; Israel withdrawing from the Old City of Jerusalem, which would be under international administration; a tunnel connecting the West Bank and Gaza, ensuring Palestinian territorial contiguity; and Israel accepting a thousand Palestinian refugees annually for five years, with financial compensation provided for the rest. It is hard to imagine a more generous plan.
Yet in a grotesque failure of leadership, Mahmoud Abbas turned it down. Writing in the Washington Post the following year, Olmert said: “It would be worth exploring the reasons that the Palestinians rejected my offer and preferred, instead, to drag their feet, avoiding real decisions.”
It is hard to resist the conclusion that Palestinian nationalism rests more on hatred of the Jews than the desire for statehood. With Abbas defending the appalling Hamas invasion, that conclusion seems clearer than ever today.
