We hear what Trump has to say about those who have violated our borders to come here to work. Can we even imagine what he would say about those who committed atrocities against our population?

Or could we even imagine granting them sovereignty next to us knowing their great dream is that we are eliminated?

After the Oct. 7, 2023, attack and atrocities, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres rationalized it, saying it “did not happen in a vacuum” but that the “Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.”

The ignorance is astounding. It was the U.N. that approved in 1947 a partitioning into a Jewish state and a Palestinian state. The Jews agreed and the Arabs rejected it and then attacked Israel in 1948 when the State of Israel was declared. The Arabs have not given Israel a day of peace since.

In 2000, President Bill Clinton sat in Camp David with then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Arafat was offered a state on what Hillary Clinton described as 96% of the territory they then occupied plus another 4% to be conferred by the Israelis. Arafat turned it down. According to Hillary Clinton, he rejected it out of fear he would be killed.

The Palestinians had their chance. It’s gone. The Israelis would have to be crazy to concede autonomy some half-hour drive to the center of their country to a Palestinian state with a history of terror.

There are some 50 majority-Muslim countries in the world. There is one Jewish state. For the Arabs, this is one too many.

Is there a solution? Of course there is.

Palestinians can be given economic freedom to live their lives freely and as they choose. They don’t need political autonomy.

But no solution will be reached as long as those who pretend to represent the civilized world give credibility to depraved murderers.

Trump should call on all the world to demand that the terrorists immediately release the hostages and unconditionally surrender.

This is the answer.
