Israel, From the Mediterranean to the Jordan?
Excerpts:
” … All parties are prepared to withdraw to varying degrees and on different preconditions. In effect, Labour and Kadima accept the two-state solution as envisioned by the Roadmap and Likud is paying lip service to it because its preconditions are unlikely to be fulfilled.”
“The desire to withdraw is driven by a widely disseminated demographic myth that the Arabs outnumber Jews west of the Jordan. Most people are unaware of a Demographic Study completed this year which concluded that there are only 1.4 million Arabs in Judea and Samaria of which it is estimated between 100,000 and 300,000 have already infiltrated into Israel. If Israel were to annex these territories, the Jews would constitute 67% of the combined population. This is a percentage that has remained constant since ’67.”
Commentary:
This paper seems only to deal with security and demographics aspects. There are other points which this paper does not touch;
1/ The fallacy of disengagement, separation — The use of these words are totally bogus. True disengagement, separation seems, by definition to clearly mean total disconnection from any Israeli Services; No phone, mobile phone, electric, water or other services heretofore provided by Israel. True disengagement, separation also denotes total ban of Arab travel and employment on the Israel side of such a border. No crossing points would be necessary as all human and commercial traffic would be banned.
2/ The Agricultural/Economic loss to Israel of Arab possession of Gaza (Gush Katif) economic assets.
3/ Just as the notion of disengagement, separation is bogus regarding Israel’s expulsion of Jews in Gush Katif, so it would be as well if applied to any other part of Israel for the same reasons as in point #1 and more.
The “more” that I am referring to has to do with illegal Arab workers on countless Israeli business payrolls as well as the tax transfers which evolve from such illegal Arab workers. The notion of disengagement, separation is a paradigm world-class joke as long as these Arabs work, receive services from Israel and as long as they continue receiving hundreds of millions in Shekalim in payroll tax transfers.
This writer fears that the expulsion from Gush Katif and the Shomron towns has opened the flood gates. For sure, further expulsions, under the guise of disengagement, separation WILL set in motion the suicide scenario spoken of in this paper unless we immediately institute a “Jewish One State Plan” as described, or it’s like.
