Weekly Commentary: The two basic observations every Israeli spokesman
should make
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 18 April 2014

Here are two basic observations every Israeli spokesman should be making
today:

#1. The question is not if a Palestinian official mumbles something that may
or may not be construed as condemnation of a terror attack.

The extremely simple question is what that same Palestinian official says
should be the fate of the terrorist who carried out the attack in the event
that he is captured.

Today the answer of literally every Palestinian official is: he should be
released and possibly enjoy a lifetime pension from the PA.

#2. In response to all the various Palestinian officials who claim that
there is a problem with Israel being defined as a Jewish State based on the
argument that states should not have a religion associated with it:
