IDF Recruit

The Middle East Peace Process is a failure, we need a new direction.

The brainchild of Israel trading her precious little land to finally achieve peace with the neighboring Arabs nations has failed.  The Gaza pull out is the latest example of a failed land for peace policy.  Continued hostility from the Palestinian Authority despite the 10 month building freeze in Judaea & Samaria, and old Jerusalem, which, had it been accepted and appreciated by the PLO,  the makings of the Palestinian State in Israel’s heartland with old Jerusalem as its capital would be happening right now.

Instead Abbas is demanding Israel pull back to the pre ’67 borders before he will even talk.  This is an impossible choice for Israel, yet Hillary Clinton also calls for it.

Therefore, it is my opinion that Israel and the very insistent world must explore new ideas if mideast peace can ever realistically be reached.

First of all, the plan to create a state within a state must be abandoned.  Most people who read this will probably disagree, as everyone has been brainwashed into believing it is the only way.  If Israel wants peace with her neighbors, she must sacrifice her small but vital land for peace, they believe.

What I need to know is the ‘Why’?

I recently became familiar with a very interesting idea from the author of the book, ‘A Case For A Larger Israel’ by David Naggar.   His idea is a productive and viable Palestinian State should be created, but put elsewhere in the middle east, not inside Israel’s Judaea & Samaria AKA West Bank, which is too small and too confining for a productive nation to be situated, and would also make the land for Jews too small, confining and vulnerable to attack.   He also takes it a step further, with so much land available in the middle east, he believes for Israel to also be productive and viable, they should be granted more land, not less, as well.

I agree.

When I suggested this on twitter, it was met with shock, anger, or I was told that it was simply unrealistic.

Once upon a time during Truman’s reign the concept of a Jewish nation in Palestine was considered unrealistic, for the same reason as now, appeasement for OIL.

This idea needs to catch on, however, if middle east peace is to truly be achieved.  The status quo will never work, this is becoming the consensus, but instead of strong arming Israel into creating a PLO/Hamas state between the river and the sea like the EU wants to do, a recipe for disaster, why not put it somewhere else?  Why is that so unthinkable?

It certainly isn’t unthinkable to force Jews out of their homes in Gaza to clear the area  intended for the Arabs, or to freeze building of only Jews in Old Jerusalem and Judaea to make way for a Jew free Arab nation nestled in Israel’s heartland.  This discrimination against Jews while accusing them of Apartheid is perfectly acceptable and expected by the USA, EU, UN and the rest of the hypocritical world.

Nobody has even considered that out of all of the land the Arab nations were given in’47-’48 the same time as Israel, which is over 6,145,389 square miles as opposed to Israel’s 8,463 square miles, they should give one square inch to help their own people. Israel took in Jewish refugees that were violently expelled from Arab nations in pre Israel days, an issue rarely mentioned in public media forum today.

There is a huge amount of land space available in the middle east for everyone to have plenty, if Israel’s borders can be constantly redrawn so the whims of backward, barbarian dictatorships can be appeased, then maybe some of their new borders can also be redrawn to achieve true mideast peace, which would benefit the entire world.

However, I suppose the West prefers not to ruffle maniacal Arab feathers with such a suggestion, after all, upsetting them could interfere with the West’s extraction of oil, business must come before human life, and Arab regimes are already being put upon having been militarily defeated by Jews and are being forced tolerate a Jewish presence in their middle east.

Could oil be the reason for the West’s insistence on the unreasonable and dangerous land concession of placing a hostile entity inside Israel so Israel can finally be gobbled up once and for all?

In my view, Jews need to consider very seriously how dire the threat to Israel’s existence is.  I also feel they need to face reality of the dangerous possibilities if a hostile Arab presence with the sovereignty powers of a nation is placed in the heartland of Israel.

Remember the wars when Jordan had that land? Remember the days when the idea of an Arab state in said land was unheard of? Or in Gaza? You know, when Jordan and Egypt controlled these areas?

So why were Arabs attacking Israel then?  To give it back to the British who controlled it before the Jews did? How can they liberate Palestine for Arabs who never had it in the first place, who only came there in pre ’48 days due to Jewish development greatly improving the economy?

Most Arabs living in Israel are only first to second generation, having come from surrounding areas, as there is no distinction between Palestinians, Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanese. They are the same ethnic group, sharing language, culture and faith.

The PLO terrorist group has changed their name to Palestinian Authority but they have the same players and the same goal . Hence their charter they refuse to change calling for the destruction of Israel.

As David Naggar points out, the Middle East has plenty of land for everyone.  The Arab Nations control  99.95% of it. So why is Israel, the last 1/2% of Mideast, expected to create yet another Arab nation in that 1/2%? Why is Israel expected to shoulder the entirety of this problem?

Tell me, please, is this just the EASY answer?  Is it because Israel is a gentle, reasonable  little democracy willing to bend over backward to make peace? Is it because Jews are made to feel as if they must constantly defend their right to exist, and not so long ago, it seemed as if there were no room on the planet for them, causing them to feel undeserving?

Is this the reason they feel they must put up with everything? Do they think the world may not blindly hate them for a minute and they might belong in the world for that minute?

While the world is accusing Israel of war crimes it didn’t commit, and actually had the audacity to threaten to arrest Israeli  officials over an utterly bogus report known as Goldstone,  true atrocities and world tragedy are being ignored.. This deplorable situation has to change.

The world must recognize that aggressor nations who TRULY violate human rights and engage in terrorism have to be stopped now.  In this day and age of technology, medical advancement, greater knowledge and understanding, why is the world still so backward in so many ways? Has technology moved faster than mankind is capable of?

In light of the pathetic state of the world, the idea of veering away from the popular notion of the ‘two state solution’ in the tiny space that is Israel, will be ill received.  However it MUST be scrapped, as it can never work, and certainly will NEVER bring peace.

Especially since the two state situation already exists, the tiny state of Israel and the rest of the middle east.

Shalom.
