How Do You Know?
From the same article, this argument is becoming more and more incoherent:
"We refuse the establishment of a state only in Gaza. Gaza is part of the occupied areas. A viable Palestinian state to live in peace beside Israel is only a state set up on the 1967 borders," said Qureia, referring to all of the West Bank and Gaza.
Which begs a fundamental question: how would he know? There's never been a viable Palestinian state. When Jordan and Egypt occupied the West Bank and Gaza, no one even thought about what an independent Palestinian state would look like - mostly because the Arabs who lived in the Gaza Strip were called "Egyptians" and the Arabs who lived in the West Bank were called "Jordanians". It's not like there used to be a Palestinian state that Israel somehow ended - let alone "a viable Palestinian state", whatever that might mean. There's never been a Palestinian state, so no one knows what one "naturally" looks like - and the main stream media should stop parroting Palestinian rhetoric that implies otherwise.
