PM says he doesn’t want binational state

Netanyahu says he does not want a binational state, but says if West Bank is evacuated it will be overrun with Islamist extremists who strive to destroy Israel.

The prime minister says Palestinian children in the West Bank are taught to “liberate” the entire Israel — including Haifa, Acre, Jaffa. “No one is talking about ’67,” he says. “They’re talking about ’48.”

He rejects the statements that Palestinian terrorism stems from “desperation.” If that was true, he says, the Palestinians would have organized terror attacks on the British or Ottomans.

“Terror is not a result of occupation,” he says. “The terror stems from a culture of death. Its goal is not to free a state, it is to destroy a state.”

“Terror is the result of a totalitarian ideology,” he says, which includes desire to kill Jews.
