Palestine: a match made in heaven : Comments

By David Singer, published 24/9/2012

Could it take eternity to find a lasting resolution to the Arab Israeli conflict?

Here's a more just and ultimately more realisable match made in heaven: RETURN. A new and democratic Law of Return.

*Exiles free to return to the land of their or their families' birth which is Palestine stretching from the coast to the Jordan border (including the current Zionist enclave of Israel).
*Settlers not born in the territory required to return to the land of THEIR birth.
*A single, democratic, one-vote-one-value state in full control of all its state powers including defence.
*Former settlers entitled to apply for residence and citizenship, with Palestine in control of processing applications on individual history and merit.

Can hardly be fairer than that.

Published in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Sept. 6, 2012: (official P.A. newspaper)

"Members of the Jewish religion must awaken from the coma of historical distortion,
which was fabricated by the Zionist movement and world capitalists, the very same
[capitalists] who wheel and deal in the Nazi and Fascist slaughter of Jews during
WWII.  Since what they (i.e., the Jews) are doing in Palestine against the Palestinian
Arab people is more dangerous and criminal than what Hitler's Holocaust brought
on the Jews and the nations of the world of the 1940s."

Proceeding from a base as low as this currently, I am afraid that a further update in 2020 may be required David.

Pity though that the P.A. doesn't seem to know squat about the Holocaust. Trainload after trainload shipped off to be systematically murdered. Pogroms and mass murder in the homes, the streets, the fields, the forests, and of course the death factories - no comparison with Palestine. The only relevance of the Holocaust to Palestine is that the Palestinians had nothing to do with it and it is an obscenity to punish them for it.

the idea that the two hate filled murderous Yasser Arafat and Yitzchak Rabin are in heaven is as fanciful as refering to the peace seeking Palestinians as violent Arab.

Get real and stop the propaganda David. You demean yourself.

What a hoot...
Sadly it ignores the simplest answer, the answer that the Zionists have quiet convulsions and conniptions over.
Restore the country to how it was before 48 and have a democratic secular society. Segregating populations based on the mythology they espouse is beyond bizarre, as this grim experiment has shown.
Of course, some extremists on all sides will have to be booted out to make way for those who are capable of caring.
The alternative is to go with this madhat idea and ETHNICALLY CLEANSE (Al Naqba Part 3) the remaining Palestinians into Jordon and therefore offload the "Problem"...
Therein lies a real problem. All you imaginary enemies are now real enemies, outside your country and you make a very good target for the less restrained amongst them. But of course, that could well be an excuse for a defensive preemptive strike and more land theft, couldn't it?

There could of course be a land between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea, possibly the only democratic state in the region, where all citizens had equal votes, and human and civil rights, regardless of their religion or ethnicity - you know, a bit like Australia.
