In fact, international hostility to Israel has grown in tandem with past Israeli concessions and efforts to be ever more accommodating to the advice of foreign governments. Weakness and seeking to be popular have invited more hostility and pressure.
Clearly the world is engaged in a mad rush to a Palestinian state, in the belief – against all evidence – that it will be a civilized polity. World leaders cling to the delusion that Palestinian statehood is the full answer to Palestinian Arab radicalism and see Israeli concessions of historically Jewish land as the key to obtaining it.
This is nothing but full-scale appeasement like that of Neville Chamberlain, who believed that giving a chunk of Czechoslovakia to the Nazis would cause Nazi Germany to become peaceful. This ignored the key fact that the Nazis sought to conquer Europe, not merely the Sudetenland – just as the Palestinian Arabs do not seek merely Judea and Samaria, but all of Israel.
Pursuing this policy with the Palestinian Arabs will not bring peace, only more bloodshed, as it did with the Nazis.
