It is an indisputable fact that Israel exists. It is a plain fact that the Palestinian leadership, as recognized throughout the world, has acknowledged and accepted Israel’s existence. Demanding Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish state is to demand Palestinian admission that their national aspirations are, at best, inferior to those of Israeli Jews, and at worst, thoroughly invalid. This immoral demand is thoroughly incompatible with any possibility of resolving the ongoing struggle over the denial of Palestinian rights and the prevailing sense of insecurity in Israel.
