georgephillip,
et al,
Are we still talking about this Plan (

(COMMENT)
So other than to claim that the "Arab's" are calling the Israelis --- Imperialist, what is your point?
I'm confused. You are talking an Arab Propaganda publication, and an Arab interpretation, and try to make something sinister out of it.
This is all imaginary material pieced together by pro-Palestinian advocates; that believe "armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine;" and wish to present fictitious and fallacious reason for justification. They believe that "there is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad."
Israel is a parliamentary democracy. It can hardly be called an "imperial" anything.
While it can be said that Israel has "occupied" populations that organize, instigate, facilitate, participate in, finance, and encourage Jihadist and Feday'een activities --- AND --- and allow their territories to be used for Jihadist and Feday'een installations and training camps for the preparation or organization of Jihadist and Feday'een acts intended to be committed against other States or their citizens, it has not posed a threat to any of the neighboring regional states.
While it can be said that Israeli "occupation" and military action has been used to quarantine the Jihadist and Feday'een operating against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of Israel, it was not the first to use of armed forces, in contravention of the UN Charter; invading and attacking the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of Israel as did the Arab Palestinians and the Arab League. Nor has it sent armed bands of Jihadist and Feday'een to carry out hostile acts against Israel (and other state nationals).
Israel has given no consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, to territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from it "occupation" of territory other than its own self-defense against a neighboring hostile population.
Most Respectfully,
R
