    Less than a month after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled
    that IsraelÆs occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful and must
    end ôas rapidly as possibleö, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
    Netanyahu has said his country will not relinquish control over the
    occupied West Bank.

    ôItÆs part of our homeland. We intend to stay there,ö Netanyahu said
    of the occupied Palestinian land in an interview with TIME Magazine,
    published on Thursday.

    The Israeli prime minister also reiterated his opposition to the
    establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state, suggesting that he
    supports limited self-rule for the Palestinians while Israel maintains
    security control over the occupied territory.

    His comments stand in stark defiance of the United States, which says
    it views the two-state solution as the ultimate way to resolve the
    conflict.

    ôWe donÆt rule their land. We donÆt run Ramallah. We donÆt run Jenin,ö Netanyahu said, referring to Palestinian towns in the West Bank. ôBut
    we go in and take action when we have to prevent terrorism.ö

    The Israelis treat the West Bank as the Germans did the Sudetenland.
    Morally, Netanyahu and Hitler are on the same plateau.
