Glick: "Enter at your own risk"

Welcome to Palestine -Caroline Glick

In the world of international diplomacy few issues receive more wall-to-wall support than the notion that it is essential to establish a Palestinian state. Leaders worldwide are so busy speaking of how essential it is...that none of them seems to have noticed that it already exists. This state was officially founded in the summer of 2005, when Israel removed its military forces and civilian population from the Gaza Strip and so established the first wholly independent Palestinian state in history.

And it is a nightmare.

The Palestinians, who receive more aid per capita than any people on earth, are needy not because they lack funds. They are poor because they prefer poverty, violence and war to prosperity, peace and moderation. So it is that 57 percent of Palestinians support terror attacks against Israel.

The hordes of political leaders mindlessly squawking about "visions" and "two-state solutions" should know: This is Palestine. Enter at your own risk.

It is true that no one looks at life within the Palestinian community. As for the amount of aid they receive and that they need, they will lay the blame on the limitations set upon them by Israel for that neediness. One need only look to Iraq to see what would happen to the Palestinians without Israel to hate.

My choice of photo [Harry Potter] is a nod to my lovely children, who find my political endeavors less than compelling.

I've considered using a photo of Voldermort [He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named], but i try to avoid hyperbole on this blog, and have [thus far] avoided the temptation.
