Exposing a Defeatist Trick
One of the silliest tricks defeatists use to get us to accept Israel is to pose the following dumb rhetorical question: Oh, you dont recognize what? What else have we been fighting for the last few decades? Windmills, or a real entity? You must accept Israel as a fact you have to deal with, whether positively or negatively.
Of course "Israel" exists. But those who kept saying that were always using this apparent statement of fact to smooth in the recognition of THE RIGHT of "Israel" to exist. These are two different things. Specifically, this was first done by Ibrahim As-souss, our PLO representative in France in the early eighties with a grand statement that Israel exists! That Palestinians are not fighting windmills! Then when this was established, it became the excuse to really come out of the closet and recognize "Israel's" RIGHT to exist.
But those concerned with the Palestinian cause who know that "Israel" exists, recognize that from the sorrow it incurred. They study it carefully like the lion studies the prey, then prepare diligently for the strategic pounce. They don't go shaking hands with it smiling like it's a long-lost friend, or cousin!
