UN warns one state

read

replacement theology: waqf and Jewish State

read
The PA adopts Hamas' religious belief presenting peace with Israel as a violation of Islam.

Abbas' advisor on Religious and Islamic Affairs, Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "The entire land of Palestine is [Islamic] waqf and is blessed land... it is prohibited to sell, bestow ownership or facilitate the occupation of even a millimeter of it." [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Oct. 22, 2014]

"What are we [Fatah and Hamas] divided about? Do we disagree about Jerusalem, for example? [Do we] disagree about liberating Palestine from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea?" [Official PA TV, Sept. 26, 2014]
"All this [Western Wall and Al-Aqsa Mosque plaza] is waqf and kharaj land (i.e., land belonging to Muslims) and no one is permitted to sell it or negotiate over it or forfeit it. It is ours and will remain ours. The occupation [Israel] is the one that will leave." [Official PA TV, Nov. 7, 2014] State.

Palestinian people?

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a
Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against
the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no
difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only
for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence
of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we
posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism."

Leadership will also be necessary to address the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. As bleak as the landscape appears, America will never give up the pursuit of peace. The situation in Iraq, Syria and Libya should cure anyone of the illusion that this conflict is the main source of problems in the region; for far too long, it has been used in part as a way to distract people from problems at home. And the violence engulfing the region today has made too many Israelis ready to abandon the hard work of peace. But let’s be clear: the status quo in the West Bank and Gaza is not sustainable. We cannot afford to turn away from this effort – not when rockets are fired at innocent Israelis, or the lives of so many Palestinian children are taken from us in Gaza. So long as I am President, we will stand up for the principle that Israelis, Palestinians, the region, and the world will be more just with two states living side by side, in peace and security.

http://www.jpost.com/Diplomacy-and-Politics/Is-Israel-planning-a-unilateral-withdrawal-in-the-West-Bank-355527

"I don't want one state from the Jordan [River] to the [Mediterranean]
Sea," the premier is quoted as saying. "Even if the demographic balance
doesn't change to our detriment and there is a Jewish majority, it is
still obvious that we need to have a Jewish majority that is
overwhelming and for that state to be democratic."

"And that is why we need to come to a separation," Netanyahu said.

The prime minister then began to spell out the diplomatic dividends that
Israel would reap in such a scenario. "That way, we would be ensured of
a Jewish majority and we would also have some wiggle room with some of
the Arab countries for a certain period of time."

Roadblocks

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/13/opinion/lift-the-mideast-roadblocks.html?ref=opinion&_r=0

Lift the Mideast Roadblocks

HERZLIYA, Israel — As President Obama prepares to meet in Washington next week with the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli opponents of a peace deal keep asserting that four issues pose insurmountable stumbling blocks: Palestinian recognition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, the “right of return,” Jerusalem and security arrangements.

But these naysayers are mistaken. Concurrence on all four issues can be reached if both sides are sincerely committed to a two-state solution, and if both leaderships and the mediator have the courage to tell the truth to one another, to themselves and — most important — to their constituencies.

A demand to officially recognize Israel as the Jewish state has never been submitted to any Arab counterpart: not Egypt’s Anwar Sadat, Jordan’s King Hussein or Syria’s Hafez al-Assad. Yet Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, keeps raising such a declaration as a condition because there is no Israeli — certainly not me — who would not sympathize with it and because he believes that President Abbas cannot provide it, knowing that it could drive a wedge between Mr. Abbas and the Arab citizens of Israel.

However, the Palestine National Council, in its Declaration of Independence of Nov. 15, 1988, already acknowledged the definition of Israel as the Jewish state when it referred to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 of 1947, saying it had partitioned Palestine into two states, Arab and Jewish. In fact, Yasir Arafat reiterated this recognition. The Palestinian leadership just needs to declare that the recognition Mr. Netanyahu is demanding is implicit in that 25-year-old document.

Regarding the “right of return,” my 28 years’ experience negotiating and talking with Palestinians taught me that there is no possibility of concluding any agreement about “rights” with them. Such a dialogue always turns into a heated, emotional argument about the past, a futile “comparative victimology.” But when the negotiations are about a practical solution and how to implement it, Palestinians are very pragmatic and agreement is achievable.

Therefore, Secretary of State John Kerry should not mention the “right” of return. Instead, he should negotiate a “return.” No one can prevent the Palestinian state from legislating “The Bill of Return,” as Israel did in 1950. But no one can impose on Israel an influx of Palestinian refugees into its territory that would destroy its demographic identity. The authors of the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative understood Israel’s sensitivity and called for a “just and agreed” solution to the return issue, meaning that Israel has to agree. Mr. Kerry’s road map could use a similar formula.

In such a plan, Israel would have to be ready to relocate some 100,000 Israelis who chose the West Bank as the place in which to exercise their “right of return” to the cradle of Jewish legacy. Thus, for the greater good of resolving their conflict, both peoples would have to forgo returning to some of the places they are emotionally attached to.

As to the issue of partitioning Jerusalem, it is already divided. There is no functional interchange between its Jewish part and its Arab part, which is home to more than 300,000 Palestinians. Even those who shout “United Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty” don’t want those Palestinians who now have the status of municipal residents of Jerusalem to be declared full Israeli citizens. However, there is no chance for legitimacy of Israel’s capital if one-third of its population are second-class citizens.

What will actually be divided is East Jerusalem. In the territory Israel annexed in 1967, there are 26 Arab villages that never were part of Jerusalem. Israel has built new Jewish neighborhoods on this vast territory, where 200,000 Israelis reside. What remains after this colossal annexation can be given to the Palestinian state as its capital. This solution was seriously offered by President Bill Clinton toward the end of his second term.

And for the one square kilometer (about 250 acres) encompassing the holy shrines, a Vatican-like status can be a respectful arrangement for the three religions.

Thus these steps can resolve the “Jerusalem problem,” which is not as intractable as described by those who think the status quo can be maintained indefinitely.

Regarding the fourth issue, security arrangements, this is an area in which Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority share an existential interest: to prevent Islamist terror organizations from crossing their boundaries and operating inside their territories.

Israel already maintains effective security cooperation with Jordan and with the Palestinian Authority. Future security arrangements should be based on this triple alliance’s implementing sophisticated security methods. The precision-guided weaponry of the Israel Defense Forces and its indigenous innovative intelligence technologies enable Israel to defend itself effectively with a modest presence along the Jordan River — one with visibility low enough to avoid embarrassing the Palestinians and compromising their sovereignty. The Palestinian leadership has to accept that these security measures are a vital common interest.

While the gaps on these four issues can be bridged, Mr. Kerry should not expect that both governments will be enthusiastic about it. But he can draft a practical document based on facts, not on the slogans that Palestinians and Israelis have been hearing for five decades.

In Israel, there cannot be such an agreement without a political crisis. In the Knesset, 42 of the 68 members of Mr. Netanyahu’s coalition are beholden to the settlers who fiercely oppose any agreement with the Palestinians. Mr. Netanyahu therefore will be compelled to change his coalition partners, make way for another prime minister or call elections so that a government that is not dependent on settlers’ support can take power. But a transient political crisis is better for Israel than the horrible repercussions of a failure of Mr. Kerry’s efforts.

Ephraim Sneh, a retired general in the Israel Defense Forces and a former deputy minister of defense, is the chairman of the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Strategic Dialogue at Netanya Academic College.

p.s. even haaretz is starting to report on the new reality!
http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.572500


from the one stateplan (2003)

ISRAELI CITIZENSHIP

It is essential that the process and strategy of offering Israeli citizenship to West Bank Arabs must be very carefully planned, including its timing, demographic, geographic, historical and social factors. Citizenship will include all the benefits currently available to the citizens of Israel including: health care, education, welfare, economic incentives, employment, social safety nets, voting rights and others. The responsibilities of citizenship will include a public oath of loyalty to the State of Israel. The procedures and the details of the citizenship offer will be determined as an internal matter by the State of Israel. Each country determines its own citizenship rules and there are many models ranging from extremes like Switzerland where citizenship is often not granted for several generations, and the extremely restrictive standards set by Islamic States to the more liberal standards applied by other countries. Since the process will be phased in over time, the possibility to adjust the procedures appropriately will be available as circumstances require.

The key element is clear. The question of how to deal with the West Bank population will be converted to an internal Israeli matter and not the subject of global concern of �do-gooders� protecting an �occupied� population. From a humanitarian perspective, social services available to the West Bank population will meet the highest global standards.

Why the Palestinians Refuse to Recognize Israel as a Jewish State



he is missing the replacement theology argument.

Why the Palestinians Refuse to Recognize Israel as a Jewish State

The core of the problem is that Palestinian recognition of Israel as the state of the Jewish People would not only end the dream of the return to Palestine, but also of the destruction of Israel currently being implemented through the incitement and terrorist campaign waged by the Palestinian People in their institutions, mosques, schools, terrorist organizations and foreign propaganda centers. Their strategic intention is to perpetuate the conflict, not end it.

Fwd: bennett says: annex



http://www.jpost.com/Diplomacy-and-Politics/Bennett-likens-Abbas-to-Arafat-calls-for-annexation-of-most-of-West-Bank-338107

looks like bennett and glick understand that annexation is more sensible than sitting on one's hands and waiting for humanity!!

annexation merely changes the legal status of Judea's arabs from stateless to residents of Israel. one day, some of them will qualify for citizenship under our minister of citizenship MS or CG.
indeed annexation will reduce the number of arabs west of the jordan. criminals will need to find new addresses. maybe gaza will open its doors. or back to tunisia and the arab spring.

it will also prevent the "return" of millions of arabs from the "diaspora".

once the TSS is laid to rest, the game will change and the vast majority of the arabs in JUDEA will want to participate in the new ISRAEL.

acting with resolve will finally earn some global respect for the "illegitimate zionist entity".

eventually the vast majority  will assimilate. especially when israel becomes a major energy producer on top of its technology boom!

of course, some purely secular and religious canaanites like AB yehoshua will go back to europe and stop causing so much trouble.

they can devote themselves to equal rights for all in the euro community. starting with sweden!

yaalon branded kerry as messianic.
let's all be as realistic as possible and not attack each other foolishly.

Israeli Arabs: We Do Not Want to Live in Palestinian State




Israeli Arabs: We Do Not Want to Live in Palestinian State


It is much easier for Palestinians to accuse Israel of racism than to admit they do not want to be part of a Palestinian state.

"This is an imaginary proposal that relates to the Arabs as if they were chess pieces that could be moved around according to the wish of the players." — Ahmed Tibi, Member of Knesset.

If the Arab Knesset members are so worried about becoming citizens of a Palestinian state, they should be working toward integration into, and not separation from, Israel, and listening more to their constituents rather than the voices of Fatah and Hamas.



A public opinion poll conducted by the Arab Center for Applied Social Research in November 2007 found that more than 70% of Israeli Arabs are opposed to any proposal to annex towns and villages in the triangle area to the Palestinian Authority in exchange for the annexation of the settlements to Israel.



The Islamization of France in 2013

Be the first of your friends to like this.

"Who has the right to say that France in thirty or forty years will not be a Muslim country? Who has the right in this country to deprive us of it?" — Marwan Muhammed, spokesman, Collective Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF), Paris.

Interior Minister Manuel Valls said he was "shocked" by an RTL Radio report which estimated that more than 40,000 cars are burned in France every year.
