| Publisher Description: Twice we have had US presidents come out in support of "peace plans" and the result has been slaughters of large numbers of innocent people. I'm referring to Clinton and Bush. Now we have a third president, Trump, on the threshold and the best we can hope for is that no one gets hurt. The premise on which these plans on based is false. In terms of achieving anything practicable, they are a complete waste of time.I'll tell you what peaceful co-existence looks like in Israel and what makes it happen.There are 9 million residents in Israel of which 25 per cent are minorities, in large measure Muslims. I live in a medium-size town. If you take the time to walk around you'll meet Muslim doctors, lawyers, dentists, pharmacists, cops, bank managers, bank tellers, supermarket managers, check-out girls, bus drivers, truck drivers, construction workers, IT employees, people from all walks of life earning a living and minding their own business. You couldn't tell who is a Jew and who is a Muslim in most cases, unless you knew their family name, because they speak a fluent Hebrew.Leaving aside the criminal classes, which exist among all peoples, the vast majority of Muslims are like that, law-abiding citizens. All these people have gone though the Israeli school system. Teaching of hatred of anyone, regardless of race, color, or creed, is not permitted. Let's go to Judea and Samaria aka the West Bank of the Jordan River. The future of these two territories is what hangs in the balance in the so-called "peace" processes. They were the core territories of the original Israeli state, which lasted 1,500 years. In the 1948 war they were overrun by the Jordanians. Israel liberated them in the 1967 war and ever since their final status has not been resolved.Starting in 1994 they have been under the partial control of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). At one point there was support in Israel for turning over Judea and Samaria to the PLO as well as Gaza, which is a separate entity bordering on Egypt. In 2000 the government offered to meet upwards of 90 per cent of the PLO's demands. Clinton stood by with an open chequebook to finance the new Arab state. The PLO not only rejected the offer but also launched a four-year wave of terror in which 1,000 Israelis were killed, many more injured, and the casualties on the other side were higher.Ever since there has been no support to speak of for offering the PLO a state. Israel is a democracy. What I mean by "no support" is that there would never be a majority in the Knesset for such a move. What will happen in the end is that Judea and Samaria will be annexed, one piece at a time. That is defined as a "solution" to the problem. A solution makes a problem vanish as if it never existed. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 so it is not part of the equation. As Israel annexes Judea and Samaria, the Israeli school system comes in, the kids are not taught to hate anyone, and as time goes along, the residents will become in their vast majority like the Israeli Arabs, law-abiding citizens. Bringing these kids into the Israeli school system is the only way to achieve peaceful co-existence in this country.Israel will also outlaw terrorist organizations in Judea and Samaria and individual terrorists can be expelled. All others will be offered citizenship. Without the infrastructure of terrorist organizations, the number of attempted attacks will drop from the several hundreds per year as is the case today to rare indeed, same as in Israel proper.The Arabs will also get what they want most, what the Israel Arabs have -- human rights and a chance to work anywhere in Israel. Most Arab countries are tyrannies of one sort or another. But the Arabs in Judea and Samaria live next door to a democracy and that's what they desire. |
