I spout no dogma.
I show you one likely future.
Yeah only your own....this in itself bars you from any input. Disqualified by your own mouth
You may continue to delude yourself that draconian action like that (Eviction and Expulsion) has not been seriously considered in times past, or that the Israeli government and general staff do not have operational plans to undertake such a sweeping action, or that they will hesitate to pull-up those plans from the archives and dust them off and look at them again, should they feel sufficiently motivated or sufficiently threatened in order to do so.
Many of us - good people, all - cannot bring themselves to believe that forcible en masse eviction and deportation is possible, and, based on past history, I really cannot blame anyone for continuing to hold to such mainstream perceptions. I really cannot.
But we, in the comfort of our armchairs here in the US, cannot possibly appreciate what it is like to be under rocket-attack day-in, day-out, for years-on-end, with a viscerally and mortally hostile population within easy grocery-store-run driving distance of our homes, ready to kill us, our children and grandchildren any time we are foolish enough to wander within their reach.
The Palestinians have sworn to destroy Israel and to drown the Jews in the sea and to establish Palestine 'from river to sea' in the process.
Even a two-state solution is merely a stopping-point along the way to this ultimate goal.
Settle for a two-state solution today and you give the Palestinians a larger and seemingly more legitimate platform from which to build military strength and to launch Stage II of their long-term multi-generational agenda, later; genocide, disguised as legitimate warfare between nations.
To allow this would be suicidal madness on the part of Israel; strategically speaking.
Better to eliminate the threat, than to appease and grant concessions that will only be turned against Israel within a decade or two, or a generation at best.
The Muslim-Arab neighbors of Israel have never been weaker than they are now, in the entire 65-year-long history of the State of Israel.
There is nobody in the region capable of standing against them on the battlefield in order to stop them from Evicting and Expelling the Palestinians, should they choose to do so.
Nobody.
Consquently, I see the danger to the Palestinians as far greater at this moment in time - when their traditional rescue-neighbors are at their weakest - than ever before since 1948.
And, frankly, and despite the beliefs of several good and intelligent folk wandering about this and similar threads, I do not believe that the so-called International Community will do anything effective to either stop nor reverse any such en masse population shift.
Especially in light of Israel's formidable nuclear arsenal.
The US will provide political cover at the UN Security Council until it is too late to have any negative effect, and then, for showmanship's sake, pretend a more disapproving stance, once we are approaching the status of fait accompli.
From the Israeli perspective, Evict-and-Expel is the only logical thing to do, looking at the Big Picture, and thinking in multi-generational terms.
A two-state solution is both a dead-end and slow suicide for Israel, as the Palestinians would use their New Country as a staging area for building-up their own and 'allied' military assets for a Death Blow Strke against Israel.
The Israelis cannot tolerate this hostile presence amongst them for much longer without overreacting and going-in and slaughtering the lot; better to kick 'em out than to kill 'em.
The English expelled the Jews, in medieval times.
The French expelled the Jews, in medieval times.
The Germans expelled the Jews, in medieval times.
The Spaniards expelled the Jews, in Renaissance times.
The Russians expelled the Jews, locally and regionally, repeatedly, in the past two centuries.
The Arabs expelled the Jews from many Muslim countries in the 1948-1970 timeframe.
So, for once, the Jews might end-up expelling others, if conditions remain unchanged.
Given that the Poles and Czechs and Indians and Pakistanis and
Arabs have all expelled 'undesirable' populations en masse
within living memory, this remains a distinct possibility.
If the Jews reach this point, the rest of the world will squawk and piss and moan, and there will be boycotts and sanctions and such, and a few folks will rattle sabers, but, as it becomes clear that this was a population shift rather than a slaughtering of innocents, passions will quickly cool - a brief period of wrist-slapping (
small price to pay for eliminating such mortal danger and achieving Eretz Yisrael in its entirety) - and then the world will begin to forget - with much of the rest of the world breathing a sigh of relief that the long, pain-in-the-ass squabble over a tiny sliver of Middle East land, is finally over, as Jordan and Lebanon and Syria successfully assimilate their newly-arrived ethnic brethren and co-religionists, aided by Israel itself, and the international community.
This is not fantasy nor delusion nor sickness nor right nor wrong.
This is merely cold, calculating, dispassionate, logical speculation, based upon conditions as they now present themselves to us, and others, as they are likely to play-out.
Your Palestinian buddies had better pray to Allah that I'm wrong, and they had better get their heads out of their asses, and make-nice at the negotiating table this time.
I think that this is probably going to be their very
last chance at the table.
If they screw-the-pooch on this one, I don't think there will be any more do-overs on the horizon.
It's
entirely possible that I am dead-wrong about this possibility - and if I am, that's fine - I have no stake in this - but I, for one, see this as a distinct possibility, at this moment in history.
Conditions have
never been more favorable for Israel to undertake radical action should this latest round of talks fail.
There is nobody in the region capable of stopping them.
There is no Arab Cavalry coming over the hill to rescue the Palestinians any longer.
Do not miss your last Window of Opportunty, lest you prompt the Israelis to use their
own historic Window of Opportunity to their fullest advantage, in order to rid themselves of a mortal threat on their doorstep.
Meanwhile... you keep telling us how 'impossible' and 'crazy' and asinine such a suggestion is... and I'll keep telling us how wrong you are, and
why.
But only if pushed...
I've already gone through my speculative exercise, introduced the concept, played Devil's Advocate in making a case for it, supplied compelling supporting logic... and feel no particular need to repeat myself endlessly, beating something into the ground again and again and again ad infinitum ad nauseum, like one or two of the folk around these parts.
