[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Does Israel recognize Palestine? There are posters here who actually say there is no such thing as a Palestinian. The Likud Party's platform describes Gaza and the West Bank as part of Israel.  Why are you concerned about the position of only one party in this conflict?

NP here. Yesh Atid, a member of the ruling coalition, along with Likud, supports a two state solution, so it isn't like the governing coalition has one position, and Likud has to go along with the wishes of their partners, or their coalition will collapse. Also, Likud has in the past held talks for disengagement. As for emphasis on Hamas, [b]many posters here have claimed that Hamas wants a two state solution[/b].[/quote]

Those posters are wrong about Hamas. But, along the lines of your argument, Hamas joined the unity government with Fatah and the unity government supports a two-state solution. So, if transference of the government policy to Likud works, it should also work for the Palestinian unity government to Hamas.

I'm not saying Likud wants a two state solution based on transference, I'm saying Israel's government wants a two state solution. Likud, however, has held disengagements, which implies supporting a two state solution. Fatah is not involved in this current crisis, despite having a unified government, so in the context of what is happening now, they are irrelevant.[/quote]
Stop the using the word "state" unless you know exactly what that entails.[/quote]
