THINK-ISRAEL |
HOME | September-October 2007 Featured Stories | Background Information | News On The Web |
My father's favorite joke was about futility, how some things could never be because they were based on a wrong premise. The country hick came into the big city and went to the movies. He sat through showing after showing until finally the manager asked him why. "You know that scene?" he answered, "The one where the girls start to get undressed? But just then the train comes by. And by the time it leaves, the girls are in the water. Well, by cracky, I figure that one of these times, the train will be late."
By cracky, that's just how the diplomats treat the "peace process." Someday, they solemnly assert, peace diplomacy will work. Arabs and Jews won't fight. And automatically, peace will descend upon the entire world, because after all, aren't all our problems rooted in the Arab-Israeli hostilities?
Has "Land for Peace" worked? Ever? The Israelis surrender what could become a normal government, were the Arabs to develop an infrastructure. The Arabs use the territory to stockpile weaponry and make better missiles and explosives.
The Peace Diplomacy has, of course, nothing to do with peace
because that isn't what the Arabs want. It has nothing to do with
making the Arabs masters in their own land, because land for expanded
terrorist factories and explosives storehouses is only a part of what
they want. The first thing they want -- and they haven't been at all
shy telling us so -- is the end of the Jewish State. But that's just
the beginning. They've learned a lot about how to fight undercover and
underhanded by trying out new terror techniques in Israel. Israel
has never really been allowed to squash them and like a
partially-damaged bacteria, they have gone from strength to strength.
Now they are champing at the bit, desirous to try their skills on more
of the Western World.
For Israel, the major issues are that a Palestinian State will a) remove Biblical Israel from Israel; b) remove that part of Jerusalem that houses some of Israel's holiest religious sites from Israel; c) remove the source of much of Israel's water from Israel; and, oh yes, position a Terror State smack up against Israel: the West Bank together with Gaza will flank Israel. It will also force the inhabitants of Samaria and Judea and a portion of Jerusalem (the West Bank) to vacate their homes and businesses. That means anywhere from a quarter of a million to a half million people will becomes homeless refugees, dependent on an incompetent government that has still not properly absorbed the Jews from Gush Katif, Gaza, who became refugees in 2005, back into the economy.
If the November Annapolis conference comes about, it will do what all Arab-Jewish Peace Conferences have done. The Arabs will agree reluctantly and minimally to some conditions that they will not keep; and no one will really pressure them to keep. Heck, they haven't even disavowed that they are determined to end the Jewish State -- an ambition they were supposed have rejected in Clinton's time. The Jews will, however, agree to give up real land, specifically, their Biblical inheritance, eastern Jerusalem and much of the Biblical land of Samaria and Judea, -- what the pro-Arab press cleverly calls the West Bank. And all the "neutral" peace brokers will be there to make sure the Israelis keep every concession they promised.
Will this satisfy the Arabs? If they follow their usual form, of
course not. Remember how shocked Dennis Ross was when he offered
Arafat more than he asked for, and assumed the Camp David
negotiations were now concluded. Arafat came back the next day with
the "final" settlement as a starting point and demanded more. The
Arabs will take what they can get in land but the next day, the next
week, the next year, they will demand that the Arab professional
"refugees," well-supported for these 60 years by the U.N., be allowed
back to their "homes" in Israel -- never mind that a large part of
this group of refugees was recruited from the local Arab population
near the refugee camps. If Israel agrees, it is dead. If Israel
doesn't agree, it will be hounded and accused of destroying the peace
treaty. And the forthcoming kiss-and-make-up between Hamas and Fatah
-- already in the works
Why is this happening now? The Arabs who run the show have patience
and perseverance and fanatical resoluteness for decades. (See Sharon, "A Short
Guide To Those Obsessed With Peace"
here.) Every so often, they insist that if America
doesn't push harder for peace (read: twist Israel's arm), the final
opportunity for democracy in the area will have been missed. But
that's also fairly routine.
The Israeli secularists who control its news media and much of its
economy fear the growing religious Jewish population much more than
they worry about the Arabs. The small group of politicos in control
-- some Marxist ideologues, some paid directly from Europe and
indirectly by the Arabs, some just going along, mouthing ideas
promoted by their mentors -- say that all they what they want for
Ramadan is a spanking new Arab state, as if the 20-odd Arab states
aren't enough. Moreover, they are dedicated to placing this alien
state on land that by international law is held in trust for the
Jewish people. If this means cutting Israel in half, to make sure
that Arabs have a unified State, so be it. If this means that Israel
will no longer control its own water supply, well, surely the nice
Hadassah ladies from Brooklyn will send bottled water, and maybe even
some diet sodas. The secularists do have some cause for concern. The
Orthodox are already an important part of the army and the economy,
though not yet in the top echelon and they are having more babies
than the secularists. Give them another five years and they may be
able to seize power from those now running the show. So now's a good
time to demoralize the religious.
But it's the Bush administration that's really under pressure; they
need a foreign policy win. So they are doing what American presidents
since Johnson have done. They push on an obliging Israeli
administration to give them a foreign policy victory that they can
use to try to bedazzle the public and make it ignore the shambles
they've made in some other part of the world. This has been going on
ever since we fought a restrained war in Vietnam through Carter's
losing Iran to the mullahs to the ongoing drain of the current war in
Iraq. Would Bush cripple Israel so America can leave Iraq
"victorious"? Well, except for the blitzkreig the first few weeks of
the war, we've emphasized good-will P.R. We've put our own grandkids in
hock because we are too noble to make the Iraqis pay for their
freedom and we've yapped about democracy and other concepts foreign
to the Muslim religion. But I don't see us fighting the enemy all
out, not while our leader Bush shills for them, proclaiming Islam a
kind and gentle religion, and ignoring that the motive power for
terrorism comes from the dictates of this gentle religion. And if
Iran takes over Iraq after the next American election, well,
at least the politicians have had time to figure out the next propaganda ploy.
Maybe that's why the Bush administration is willing to take the
chance that its only real friend in the Middle East will be destroyed
by those who have vowed to establish a New Caliphate, with America as
one of its conquered vassals.
Israel might be about to find out if a very small cadre of
politicians who are as popular as the Dengue Fever mosquito can
destroy a country by helping to set up a new and rabid State in its
midst -- a state run by terrorists who have vowed to destroy Israel.
As Minister of Foreign Affairs Livni put it to to the United Nations'
Ad Hoc Liason Committee for Assistance to the Palestinian People: "Israel is committed to the
establishment of a viable and vibrant Palestine, in the West Bank and
Gaza, as a homeland for the Palestinian people and a peaceful neighbor
to Israel. This is a shared vision, not a zero-sum game." Not exactly
a realistic speech. A "viable and vibrant Palestine"? Well, they do
have the best cottage industry in low-cost explosives in the world.
Livni is undeterred by the billions of dollars already wasted in
Gaza, by the increase in terrorism following the expulsion of the Jews
from Gaza, the popularity of Tweedledee Hamas as it squabbles with
Tweedledum Fatah. She convinced me she truly believes someday things
will be different -- the train will be late and she'll see the girls
stripped down to the buff.
And what will the
American Jewish leadership be doing in the next few weeks to prevent a
conference that will structure a new holocaust for the Jews? Well, in
October, Aipac invited the Israeli leadership -- Ehud Olmert and the
Tzipi Livni -- to tell us Jews how splitting Israel in two and
starting the dissolution of Israel will benefit us all. The General
Assembly of the august United Jewish Communities meets in Nashville
Tennessee mid-November, not exactly an Elvis hop-and-skip from
Annapolis. Do they really think this Summit will stop the Muslim
attempt to takeover Israel and eventually America? Do they really
think?
Likely America will continue to do what she's always done: defend
the Arabs with money and blood and threaten to cut off the material
Israel needs to defend herself.
But for now, we can expect smoke and mirrors -- information, hope,
disinformation and all the while a determined bid to force Israel into
acceding to a Palestinian State -- with the fall-out of up to half a
million Jewish refugees fleeing the judenrein Palestinian State, with
hostile build-up at all her borders and with the "world" complaining
she isn't doing enough to make the new Palestinian state viable.
Secretary Rice has already announced that Palestinian compliance
before final status talks is not required. She does assure us that
compliance will be required before the creation of a sovereign
Palestinian state.
Don't count on it. If the time comes for a photo-op creation of
a sovereign Palestinian state but the Palestinians haven't complied,
she will look into the cameras and say how pleased she is to have
received a report that the PA has promised to fulfill its Road Map
obligations. Or she will proclaim once again what a swell guy Mahmoud
Abbas is and explain that he will only really have the power to comply
when he actually has a sovereign state.
Israel's Arab neighbors see nothing wrong in indulging in the
fantasy that Arab Israelis are without civil rights. When speaking to
the ignorant, they don't mention affirmative action in Israel favoring
Arabs at the universities and courts, voting rights, medical
treatment, subsidies and Arabs in the Knesset. They themselves are
Judenrein -- that means that with the exception of a few
leftovers of what were thriving Jewish communities, many predating
the arrival of the Arabs -- no Jews are allowed to live in Arabland.
And that includes Jordan.
Another example of this double-think is what "two states for two
people" really means. Talking about two states, one Jewish, one Arab,
is a misnomer. Arabs constitute 20% of Israel's population and if Arab
maximalist demands are honored, there will be an influx of Arabs who
have an affiliation with an Arab that left Israel in 1948 when the
Arabs invaded. (Not to mention that in Arab countries harboring the
refugee camps, many local Arabs actually bettered their lives by
signing up as refugees.) The prospect is two states, one Arab, which
will not allow Jews to live in it, and one Jewish, which, depending on
Israeli concessions, will have a large Arab population or will become
a majority-Arab state.
Creating a third state in Mandated Palestine and a second
Palestinian Arab State -- (Trans)Jordan was the first -- itself presents
Israel with an immediate problem. Anywhere from 200,000 to 500,000
Jews will be cast out of their homes, farms, orchards and businesses
and communities.
The American administration and their Israeli lackeys will attempt
to start this as soon as possible. As an aside -- did you know that
Israel was already throwing people out of their homes in Samaria and
Judea? The current expellees are activist religious and patriotic Jews
-- and what government intent on suicide needs Jews who are loyal to
the State and the People of Israel?
Israel has still not absorbed the 9000 Jewish refugees from Gush
Katif, Gaza. These people, once strong contributors to the Israeli
economy, are still living "temporary" with a bleak future and little
help from the government that created the problem. So how exactly are
they going to handle the new refugees? In a bizarre way, Israel will
become the homeland of homeless Jews. If the treatment of the Jews of
Gush Katif, Gaza is an indication, and it is, the Jews of Samaria and
Judea and some of Jerusalem and maybe the Golan will become street
wanderers, living in dilapitated hotels and pressed-paper trailers, a
drain on the economy, a clump of dispirited citizens and an easy mark
for the next wave of Arab terrorism.
It's not unexpected given the spinelessness of the Israeli
leadership, that it's the supposedly weak Arab Palestinians that get
to decide not just their own future but Israel's. Plans published in
the media would allow the Arabs to decide whether they want to return
to Israel or be compensated for not returning or go live in some third
country. Israel isn't consulted. And Sec-State Rice demands that Gaza
and the West Bank (Samaria, Judea and Jerusalem) be made contiguous.
It doesn't matter that this means that Israel will be cut in half. In
Jerusalem, the Arab neighborhoods are sancrosanct -- even though many of
the inhabitants are living illegally in Jewish property -- and Jews
are kept out with the help of such "Jewish" groups as Peace
Now. But let a Jew try to stop an Arab from buying property in a
Jewish-majority neighborhood, and suddenly the Jewish state has become
undemocratic.
Actually, the Arabs are exploiting a major weakness in the notion
that democracy means 'one man, one vote'. We don't even have that in
America -- we filter that raw idea through regionalism: the majority
in each state gets 100% of the votes cast. Israel has never put itself
through the hard exercise of deciding how a state can be really Jewish
and yet so democratic that Arabs might eventually decide on Jewish
religious practices and life style.
There's a simple way to solve the conflict, that doesn't involve
turning Israel into a Rubic cube. Israel has 1 tenth of 1 percent of
the land of the Middle East. The Arab have 99.9% of the land. Let the
Arab states host their creation, the "Palestinian people." There's
lots of vacant land. Why take the land of a 4000 year old people to
indulge the demands of a 40-year old "people", who are in no way
different from the other Arabs in the region? Especially when the Jews
own Israel -- all of it. They were granted it in trust by
international law. They won it fending off Arab invaders. It is their
homeland. It is the setting for the Bible, the basis of the moral code
for Western countries. There is a Jewish people. There is a
conglomerate of Arabs. The "Palestinians" can be settled among them.
The Jews have earned their right to self-determination. And they can
exercise it. If they the determination to do so.
We Jews and our friends need to become proactive go into attack
mode. We can't be bled every few years whenever someone wants good
publicity or needs a distraction or is looking for legacy material.
Right now, you can contact your representatives in Congress; you can
contact Knesset members. You can get your friends and family and
co-workers to do the same. Jews and Christians: you are doing it for
Israel; you are doing it for America; you are doing it for
yourselves.

Natan Sharansky on his One
Jerusalem website is saying that the ambassador and the consul
general are getting NO protests about what Israel is doing and will
surely be prejudiced. WRITE, CALL, FAX.
Contact your Congressmen in Washington. As David
Bedein explains,
However, because the government of Israel hesitates to challenge
the Palestinian policies of the Bush administration, many members of
Congress remain passive in their opposition to these policies; the
truism about not wanting to be more Catholic than the Pope applies
here. Congresspersons are more likely to respond with vigorous
opposition to the Bush policies if: they have solid, cutting-edge
information on the issues; they hear from Israelis prepared to counter
their government's passivity; and they are encouraged by their
constituents to act.
Opinion-makers who have influence with the White House should be
approached. They, too, require solid, cutting-edge information on the
issues and an opportunity to hear from concerned and knowledgeable
Israelis."

"The US Congress remains overwhelmingly pro-Israel
and dedicated to helping Israel when called upon to do so. Members of
Congress on both sides of the aisle have expressed criticism of the
Bush administration's continuing coddling of Abbas, especially in
light of the collapse of the US initiative to bolster Abbas only six
months ago, which resulted in the strengthening of Hamas. And the
administration remains accountable to the Congress, especially to its
operational subcommittees.
