Destroying Israel to save it?

Here’s a possible explanation for the administration’s push for a Palestinian state, and, if true, it’s a horrifying example of Unrealpolitik. As reported by Aaron Klein at WorldNetDaily:

A senior Palestinian intelligence official said that based on meetings with American diplomats he “understood” the U.S. plans to target Iran’s suspected nuclear installations in two to three months if negotiations with Tehran don’t generate a major breakthrough.

The official, speaking to WND yesterday on condition of anonymity, said according to what he “understood,” the U.S. will “pay” for Arab support for a U.S. strike against Iran by creating a temporary Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip and most of the West Bank by next summer.
