Public Comment

The Opinion of Jagjit Singh, as expressed in the Daily Planet on 6/3/16 is biased and omits several important issues. He blames everything on Israel, leaving out the key fact that the Palestinian charter calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. To quote just one of the several anti-Israel paragraphs in its charter: "and the establishment of Israel are illegal and null and void, regardless of the loss of time… This is why the Palestinian leadership is dragging its feet on pursuing a two state solution. They want both states to be Palestinian, with no Jewish state. And that just isn't going to happen. 

Mr. Singh leaves out the fact that the Palestinians tell their children to stab and kill innocent Israeli civilians, including men, women and children. They dig tunnels into Israeli territory so they can pop up and kill civilians. Yet, despite these actions, Israel has several times offered to meet directly with the Palestinian leadership over final status issues. But Abbas has not come to the table.
