A Jewish state without knowing where the Jewish state starts or stops

Israel is asking Palestine to recognize the Jewish state without knowing where the Jewish state starts or stops. And If Israel wants recognition as a Jewish state, then it needs to start by recognizing the Palestinian state. That is the problem. Israel refuses to grant to others that which it demands for itself.

PA rejects Netanyahu's conditions for discussing borders

RAMALLAH: The Palestinian Authority (PA) on Sunday rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conditions to discuss the borders of future Palestinian state.

Netanyahu told the British daily the Telegraph that there is no basis to discuss the borders of Palestinian state without the Palestinian leadership recognizing Israel as a Jewish state.
The Palestinian Ministry of Information said in a press statement that Netanyahu’s remarks “do not make peace.”
It described the top Israeli hawk’s remarks as “a continuation of the black racism and an expression of evasion and getting around international legitimacy.”
The US administration has been sponsoring the peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. However, the Israeli-Palestinian direct peace talks were suspended on Oct. 2, one month after they were launched in Washington, after Israel refused to freeze settlement construction.
On Sept. 26, Israel refused to extend a 10-month moratorium over settlement freeze in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Palestinians then suspended the talks and said that they won't get back to the negotiation table until settlements were stopped.
