Official PA daily: "The Israeli apartheid state" is based on "a false Zionist narrative" and "colonialist Zionism"
By columnist for official PA daily Adel Abd Al-Rahman
“European Union representatives hastened to send letters to the representatives of Palestine and Israel, containing ‘carrot and stick’ measures for each of the parties. Regarding the former (the ‘carrot’ measures), the European Union took care to emphasize that it would provide financial and economic support on various levels if the two-state solution within the June 4, 1967 borders is reached. At the ‘stick’ level, it threatened to blame Israel for the failure of the negotiations due to the continuation of the settlement [project]. The letter to the Palestinians also included a threat in the event they ‘did not agree’ to make concessions that would bring about a leap in the peace process! ...
What is being demanded of the Palestinians? Is there any obligation towards the Israeli apartheid state that they have not met since the signing of the Oslo Accords? Are the Palestinians being asked to cede the right to return to their homes, which was promised to them by international law? Are they being asked to cede their historical narrative in favor of a false Zionist narrative and recognize the ‘Jewish [character]’ of the Israeli state, thereby placing their own necks and that of their people under the guillotine of colonialist Zionism?”
