Photo: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg NewsSecretary of State Antony Blinken’s list of “Nos” and “Musts” for postwar Gaza and Israel ranges from impractical to much worse (“The Day After Israeli Victory,” Review & Outlook, Nov. 13).Especially misguided is his push for the creation of a Palestinian state. The Palestinians were already given a territory, the Gaza Strip, on which they could have built a state. Instead they turned it into a cesspit of terrorism, murder and oppression. The corrupt Palestinian Authority also sponsors terrorism and anti-Semitism. Based on this track record, the Palestinians do not deserve a state of their own.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
