| How to solve "Palestinian problem". V. H. 4/3/2002 First of all I have to apologize for not living in Israel while being a Jew. Second, I have to apologize for giving advises to Israelis on how to solve "Palestinian problem" while living far away..., but it seems that everyone does this - Europeans, Russians, Saudis,... even that Jewish boy..., sorry, intellectual - tailor Tom, so colorfully described recently by Reuven Koret on Israel Insider web site. Also, I developed and withheld these ideas basically for myself for a long time, but with continuation and increasing of violence and terror I cannot wait anymore - the moment of truth is arriving. I definitely not anti-Arab - I have to say this since someone can think so after reading this letter - I belive in "Palestinian Arabs" right of return, and their right to have their own state. Even more, I suggest to give them not just one, but two states! I will explain this a little later... First I should begin from the right of return - I strongly belive in "Palestinian Arabs" right of return - all of them have right of return to Arab countries, from which they or their ancestors came to Israel. However, I am not so naive to belive that most of them wish to realize this right, even Arafat, who was born in Egypt... He does not want to go back to his native country - he wants to be a founder of Palestinian nation, like Moses, who turned Jews from slavery in Egypt into the nation of free people. Great desire! But if Arafat wants to be Palestinian Moses he should follow Moses' steps - to take all "Palestinian Arabs" wandering in Sinai for 40 years and God will show them were to settle. But, Arafat is not smart enough for such a thing. He cannot even realize something much more easier - how to bring all Arabs in Israel without any troubles. Really, it is very easy - just make them to convert to Judaism! Go to reform Rabbi... After that, becoming "Jews", they can enter Israel according to the Law of return!... But not being really shrewd Arafat prefers to fight. It seems that terrorism is the only thing that he is capable to do... in addition to fooling Israeli peaceniks and European well-wishing wishful thinkers. He has raised the whole new generation of Jew-haters, and Jew-killers... huge generation - it looks like Arabs have nothing to do but produce children - in Gaza, which lives on international donations there is the highest birth rate in the world! Obviously after Arafat's hate education "Palestinian Arabs" cannot coexist with Jews in peace for at least a few generations ahead. They will not leave us alone... So Israel have no choice but to continue the war for independence - still unfinished... more than 50 years later. Yes, what we have is a war and they are enemies - they kill us, they teach their children to hate and fight us, they rejoice and celebrate when their bombers kill our children, they praise their terrorists as heroes... But when we retaliate trying to stop terror, they shout, "Massacre, collective punishment!... "Massacre", of course, is a lie - it is for receptive foreign media, like Reuters... But what is wrong with collective punishment? It is a war! How about collective punishment of Israelis - intentional killing Israeli civilians and children?! How about collective responsibility? Arabs as a whole are responsible for what their "heroes" do to us - again - they raise them, feed them with hate, give them weapons, shelter them in their houses, villages, towns. On their behalf terrorists are trying to destroy us. Did anyone among Arabs raise voice against collective punishment of Israelis? So what should we do with them? I think that after destroying terrorist networks and organizations (including Palestinian Authority) we still can treat "Palestinian Arabs" like humans and reward them with their own state (more exactly - two states). No Arab country wants them... even their best friend Saddam Hussein. I think Israel should be more generous than Arab countries are, and give "Palestinians" the amount of land about equal to what they occupy now in disputed territories - may be 40% in West Bank and 65% of Gaza. However, the lands on which they live in West Bank are not contiguous, being intermittent with empty territories and lands on which Jews are living. Why not to make exchange of land, resettlement? From considerations of security Israel cannot permit Arabs to live in the central planes, so close to Tel Aviv and other populated centers. The same - for the western side of the central mountain range, from which they can shoot down to Israel, as Syrians use to do from Golan Heights. So the right place is Jordan valley and eastern side of the range. Thus, let us create one of Palestinian states there. Let us build there settlements and towns for Arabs and provide financial incentives for those, who will move there voluntarily - let us do this in as humane way as is possible. But most likely in many cases this cannot be done without using force... It is unfortunate, but there is no other way...In a long run this will be better for both sides. After resettling Arabs there Israel must establish hermetic, well fortified border - we are here and they are there. Who will rule this new formation? Let us try to give it back to Jordan, if they will not take, UN can establish there a protectorate and to eventually create a democratic state... Very similar but easier plan for Gaza Strip - south part adjacent to Egypt must be given to Arabs, Jewish settlements from this area must be resettle to the north part of the strip, amount to 35% of the territory. South part should be tried to return to Egypt... if not - give it to UN... Is this politically acceptable, will the world swallow it? Sure it will be a lot of fume and noise. Especially from Muslims... and also from one European great "shitty country", which use to be a colonial power, but is now increasingly colonized by Arabs... But the most important point is that there are hardly other realistic alternatives. By the way, if this happens no one may accuse Israel in ethnic cleansing and racism - Arabs are ethically and racially the same as Jews - they are descendants of the same forefather, Abraham. Look, no one accused Kuwait for expelling 300 000 "Palestinians" not so long time ago - I am sure that after dust will settle down the world will understand us as well. One more question - what to do with the 5-th column - Israeli Arabs? First, one should correct a great mistake made in the past - to strip them from Israeli citizenship and replace it by residency permits. So - no participation in elections, no benefits for big families - why should we support them multiply like crazy... Those, who will be involved in anti Israel activities, should be deported... to their brothers in Gaza, in Jordan valley... The last remark, it is usually considered that letting Palestinian Arabs to live in Jordan valley would destabilize Jordan and bring Iraqi armies to the Israel border. One however should take into account that the implementation of proposed scenario should happen after destruction of terrorist organizations and infrastructure in territories, and that, hopefully, USA will soon take care of Saddam regime in Iraq.
