Under pressure on the eve of a surprisingly close election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Monday doubled down on his appeal to right-wing voters, declaring definitively that if he was returned to office he would never establish a Palestinian state
"if he was returned to office he would never establish a Palestinian state"
That's not his call.
UN181 set aside land for a Palestinian state, and UN 242 and UN338 called for Israel to get out of that Palestinian land. All of those resolutions were unanimous, meaning the U.S. approved them.
Yet, Israel continues to spit in our face while accepting billions in aid.

It most certainly is his call. His country.
Take your UN and shove it up your ass. The UN isn't the worlds leader. Maybe in your leftist delusion. Yes you're a leftist.
His country? Sure. Part of it is. But we're talking about the Palestinian part. That's not his.
"The UN isn't the worlds leader."
Israel also signed the 4th Geneva Convention. Article 49, sixth paragraph, of the 1949 Geneva Convention IV provides: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies"
That means, "Get the f**k out of Palestinian land".

There is no occupied land. Not in the context you say.
You can mouth off about a pali state all you want. But where is it? It isn't there. It will never exist.
If you want it to exist you should go back to your people the Palestinians and help them fight. That is the only way your people will have a land. That is if you defeat the legitimate owners and steal it. But that isn't going to happen. You know it. That is why you sit on the sidelines instead of going to fight for your blood kindred.
The following started in the Security Council and passed there unanimously but for the United States veto. The General Assembly took it up and passed what had been previously vetoed in the Security Council.
