A bunny out of the hat? Netanyahu: "Let settlers live as residents of 'Palestine'"

[Lipush]

A source in the Prime Minister's Office told reporters Sunday that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu believes that if a Palestinian state is established in Judea and Samaria, Jewish settlers who wish to remain in that state should be allowed to do so.

The source said that Netanyahu believes that there is no reason for the Palestinian state, if it is created, to be “mono-ethnic.”

The source explained that the idea is a continuation of Netanyahu's statement in his speech at Davos, Switzerland, on Friday, in which he made clear that he does not intend to evict Jews from any communities in Judea and Samaria.

Now they object.

So what's the conclusion?

 

[Shaarona]

Economics Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) quickly shot down the idea in a Facebook post.


“The idea that Jewish communities will live under Palestinian sovereignty, as expressed by the Prime Minister's Office, is a very grave matter, and it reflects a panicked loss of values,” said Bennett. "2,000 years of longing for the Land of Israel did not transpire so that we could live under Abu Mazen's rule”


The idea “pulls the ground out from beneath our settlement of Tel Aviv” as well, he stated.


Bennett called on Netanyahu to immediately deny that the idea reflects his policy.

Two hawkish Likud MKs also warned against Netanyahu's idea. Deputy Minister of Transportation, MK Tzipi Hotovely, said that “a diplomatic plan that relegates the Jewish settlement enterprise to Palestinian sovereignty will not receive political backing in Likud. The commitment not to uproot settlements is not enough. It is important that Israeli sovereignty be maintained.”


Deputy Defense Minister MK Danny Danon rejected the plan and said: “Whoever thinks that Jews will live under Palestinian control in Judea and Samaria is invited to try and visit Gaza today and understand the meaning of 'tolerance' in the Middle East.”


Danon added: “In areas where the military will not be present and bear responsibility – no Jew will enjoy security. We will not abandon the settlers behind enemy lines.”


The Legal Forum for the Land of Israel warned against implementing the idea and said that it will lead to a bloodbath. “One of the basic civil rights is the right to life,” stated Forum Director Nahi Eyal. “No one has a moral and legal right to hand over responsibility for the security of Israel's citizens to Palestinian policemen and murderers whom the government released from jail in recent months.”

Netanyahu's plan is unlikely to be accepted by Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas, in any case, since Abbas has vowed not to allow a single Jew to live in "Palestine."

I am not sure I understand this???

"Israelis" or "Jews"?


Arab affairs expert Dalit Halevy explained that when Abbas speaks of “Israelis”, he in fact means “Jews." She pointed out that the PA refers to all of the Arabs who live in what they term “Palestine” – including “Israeli Arabs” – as Palestinians. There is, therefore, no distinction in the PA's approach between “Palestinians” and “Arabs,” and similarly no distinction between “Jews” and “Israelis,” when speaking of residents of the territory of the Land of Israel (“Palestine&#8221.

 

[Lipush]

Your last sentence is the final conclusion.

Since they don't want Jews in Palestine, they gonna expose themselves to be bigger racist than all over Israel's combined. They will call for ethnic cleasing and expulsion, which will be our winning card.

My only bitch with Bibi is in his treatment of the Palestinian squatters. Who in their right mind makes peace offerings to Palestinians, builds a security fence & concedes to them their own land? No surrounding Arab country, who know the Palestinians best, ever treated them like Israel does under Bibi's leadership.

Jews.

They don't want the Jews in "Palestine" but they expect us to be tolerant and accepting of Arabs in Israel.

Now, who'se being the hypocrite and racist here? Eh

A year ago.. he said the citizens of Palestine would be called Palestinians regardless of their religion...

Can't stand Bibi, but I must admit- this is a brilliant tactic, and if he says this, he should stick to his words. We know they don't want Jews in Judea and Samaria, and while they may say one thing, the masses on their side won't agree. The grudge is to strong.

Bibi's playing a wise card here. He just needs to make sure he doesn't blink first.

Yes. Palestinians wouldn't let Israelis live there unless they converted to Islum.

Cards play, my friend- Bring the rival to show his hand. Wise.

"The kind of state that we want to have, that we aspire to have, is one that would definitely espouse high values of tolerance, co-existence, mutual respect and deference to all cultures, religions. No discrimination whatsoever, on any basis whatsoever," Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said in 2009. "Jews to the extent they choose to stay and live in the state of Palestine will enjoy those rights and certainly will not enjoy any less rights than Israeli Arabs enjoy now in the State of Israel." (In turn, it would also be difficult for Israel to demand Palestinian immigration policies that allow Israelis to become residents or citizens if Israel would not allow the same right to Palestinians.)

He can get International points for being reasonable. While he's obviously aware the idea will be rejected by both sides. Both sides are monumentally historically unreasonable.

Not new but it is good to hear it said again. Sadly Abbas has said no jews will be allowed to live in the WB. Christians in Gaza are being forced to convert or killed.
Arabs in Israel, but no jews in palestine.

...and they call Israel apartheid?

 

[Sweet_Caroline]

Abbas also said last summer there will be no citizens of Israel (whatever religion) in the new Palestinian State. Very strange, not!

So are we looking for a reasonable solution or is it endless war? I don't think either side can "win". Both sides are going to have to give up a lot.

We tried to give up in Oslo, and were rewarded with 1500 victims. Fool me twice...
