    Less than a month after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled
    that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful and must
    end “as rapidly as possible”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
    Netanyahu has said his country will not relinquish control over the
    occupied West Bank.

    If he were determined to squeeze blood from a turnip he would relinquish control then recapture it again 5 days later. Netanyahu just has a soft
    spot for those civilians.



    “It’s part of our homeland. We intend to stay there,” Netanyahu said
    of the occupied Palestinian land in an interview with TIME Magazine, published on Thursday.

    He wants all Arabs to know the graces of a godfearing home. It's not
    about destroying homes.

    The Israeli prime minister also reiterated his opposition to the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state, suggesting that he
    supports limited self-rule for the Palestinians while Israel maintains security control over the occupied territory.

    His comments stand in stark defiance of the United States, which says
    it views the two-state solution as the ultimate way to resolve the
    conflict.

    “We don’t rule their land. We don’t run Ramallah. We don’t run Jenin,”
    Netanyahu said, referring to Palestinian towns in the West Bank. “But
    we go in and take action when we have to prevent terrorism.”

    The Israelis treat the West Bank as the Germans did the Sudetenland.
    Morally, Netanyahu and Hitler are on the same plateau.
