Who are the Israelis?

The Palestinians did not need welfare until a bunch of crooks came down from Europe and stole their stuff.

The Brits?

Indeed, they were in on that scam.
Arabs themselves helped Brits invade.

They Brits divvied up the Ottoman territories, bestowing kingdoms on the Arab bandits (Faisal, Husseini, etc) who helped them in the war.

They set the stage for a conflict that has raged nearly a century between Arab states.

If there was no Israel, Arabs, Persians, Turks, and Kurds would be slaughtering each other still.
 
RE: Who are the Israelis?
⁜→ rylah, Ria_Longhorn, et al,

Let me say I do consider the proposal seriously, but not for the same reasons. I see this from an "insider attack" perspective and a matter of capitulation to the opposition's successful campaign to "intimidate a population and to compel a government" to consider such action as "The Bill."

❖ I'm surprised to see such a simplistic and trivializing response.

◈ I'm anything but trivualizingthis proposal. I am amased it got this far up the political chain and placement.​
● Have any alternatives achieved peace?

◈ NO, to my knowledge, no Israeli generated alternative has achieved this degree of Arab Palestinian success.​
● Did we find any acceptable alternatives after years of discussion here?

◈ I'm not sure that their isn't something out there. But even so, there is nothing with any political traction to be considered.​
● Let me ask You - do You think PM Netanyahu allowing 10 armored vehicles to be transferred from the EU to the PA last week a decision that results in peace, or stability?

◈ Whether it is the old Viet Nam War era V-100 Security Vehicle, or the BRDM2 Armored Vehicle, it is not a level of threat to be concerned about. While it could present a difficulty to the Border Polce, they can be neutralized relatively easy using 21st Century Weapons. So no, I'm not concerned. Additionally, I don't think the PA Security Forces have the training much beyond a police tactics support arm.​
● What steps would You suggest the upcoming Israeli generation take towards peace and stability?

◈ This is one of those domestic issues that I normally step away from; that it is something for the Israelis to decide. But in this case, I'll venture out here on the ice:
If the Israelis are serious about this "annexation (the entirety of Judea and Samaria) then it has to be done in stages that do not compromise the integrity of the current State of Israel if it doesn't work.

✦ The highway system (and short rail) has to be vastly improved to connect Israel and all the major cities in the territories.

✦ Then the typical Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) "ethics issues" list must be consulted, even if you disagree with them. At least understand them.

✦ Establish "free trading zones" (Duty Free) to promote the economy of the the territories.

✦ Establish "free light industrical zones" (Duty Free) to increase international product activitiy.

✦ Government underwritten middle class residential units.

✦ New Infrastructure Project to reduce cost and make improvements for the next century: Accomplished similarly to the old "New Deal" with a Works Progress Administration (but run and financed by the Israels) →


○ Water
○ Waste
○ Electric
○ Communications
○ Hostpitals
○ Education and Research
○ etc
All this has to be done BEFORE the area of sovereignty is reconsidered. The Arab Palestinians have an opportunity to demonstrate they know what is involved in building a nation and the
● Again very strange, especially since we discussed specifically NOT such a scenario, but a legal framework and process that would not be instantaneous or blindly open to potential threats.

◈ I am 100% in agreement with the slow and deliberate process. And before the issue of extended sovereignty is considered, that the standard of living through greater employment and education opportunities are raised.​

But I must reemphasize this is a major "domestic issue." The Israels have to decide they want to take the risks and bare the expense. If my first response sounded a bit trivial, it's only because there is some much preparatory work that must be done that has yet been considered and put into effect.

Just My Thought
Most Respectfully,
R

The free trading and light industrial (Duty Free) zones, sound applicable to what flacaltenn once presented, taking in mind regional economic development in which the Arab community of Judea could take a key role.
Hope he will explain it himself if finds appropriate.

It's just essential that NEW THINKING on how the connectivity works in a West Bank for the Palestinians AND the Israelis. Any plan for resolution of occupation HAS to offer means of connecting Palestinians to local and REGIONAL markets.

Especially in the scenario of ANNEXATION of Judah/Samaria.. Because you end up (de facto) with ISOLATED Palestinian city-states without a plan for free flow of commerce..

So my proposal (all 6600 words of it) is BASED on a city-state (emirate) form of Palestinian govt with optional limited federal layers for diplomacy and currency and judicial review, etc.. In addition, it proposes a REGIONAL connectivity that restores that land of Israel to a HUB of commerce for "trade routes"... Done in conjunction with Egypt and Jordan and potentially Lebanon. Establishes a SECURE limited access highway thru these 3 countries at their borders that puts the Palestinians smack in the middle of very LUCRATIVE "trade zone" with connectivity to Arab neighbors, the rest of Palestinian community in the region and the rest of the world..

If Gaza ever sheds their Hamas captors, This would include them as well --- adding the possibility of a seaport to this "highway" of trade and commerce..

Here is a concept map for that connectivity...

Israel May Begin to Pay Citizens Not to Drive



This is a really interesting approach. I would definitely change my driving habits if I was offered an incentive such as this. (That said, I work from home, so.....)

Yes, and Tel-Aviv is THE place to do this pilot.
In spite of the astronomical taxes, there's a habit to switch vehicles every 4-5 years, which creates an an overall traffic and parking overload. Sure You know what I mean if been to Tel-Aviv.

After the Mobileye wide success in reducing accidents and lowering the prices of insurance,
and applying new laws and technology to vehicles above 2l. in Haifa, I think everyone notices the improvements.

There's a video I currently can't find, about another planned govt project for Tel - Aviv,
for adding a smart lane for public transportation at first, to eventually create an Internet-of-all-things for all transportation entering the city and regulation in real time.

Knesset dissolved, Israel going to elections
Law to dissolve the Knesset approved in second and third readings. Elections expected to take place on September 17.

The 21st Knesset has been dissolved, less than a month after it was sworn in. The Knesset approved the Knesset Dispersion Law on Wednesday evening by a majority of 74 to 45.

The elections for the 22nd Knesset will take place on September 17, just six months after the last elections.

Earlier, the haredi parties Degel Hatorah and Shas announced that their spiritual leaders approved the compromise, which states that the Draft Law will be passed in its first reading and that amendments will be made before it is approved in second and third readings. However, the Yisrael Beytenu rejected this compromise proposal as well.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded to the approval of the law to dissolve the 21st Knesset, a month after it was sworn in.

"The Israeli public made a clear and unequivocal decision: That I would be prime minister and that the Likud would lead a right-wing government. The public chose me to lead the State of Israel. The various parties that ran for Knesset, many of them said they would support me. 60 out of the 65 mandates granted to the right did what they undertook upon themselves to do. One party did the exact opposite. Avigdor Liberman misled his voters. From the get go, he had no intention of joining the government," said Netanyahu.

"In eight months Avigdor Liberman is dragging the country twice to elections because of personal whims and an attempt to get a few more seats. Simply unbelievable. Avigdor Liberman is now part of the left, he is the heart of the left,” Netanyahu continued, blasting the Yisrael Beytenu chairman.

United Torah Judaism chairman, Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman, said after the Knesset was dissolved, “The holding of new elections a month after the last elections is contrary to the will of the people and contrary to all common sense. This is political coercion for no real reason, with an awful waste of billions that can go to important things like adding resources to the health care system, education or any other purpose for the good of the public."

"The cynical use of the Draft Law is an outrageous excuse meant to confuse the public with the goal of inciting against the haredi public and making political capital on it. Torah study has always been and will always remain an important value for the people of Israel. Preserving the status of yeshiva students was the basis for our joining every government and every coalition. It is clear to everyone that we will not be able to agree to any law that restricts Torah scholars in Israel," added Litzman.

Ayelet Shaked: "I'm Returning to Politics"
In a closed meeting with the women of religious Zionism, the minister of justice said that she is returning to politics already in the current elections

The political system is booming. Last night, the 21st Knesset ended its term of office and preparations for the 22nd Knesset elections began. This is the first time in the country elections are held so close to each other.

The uncertainty is still on the ground, and the various parties are making their way to the future. The party has all announced that it will join the Likud in the next elections, which was approved by the Likud secretariat. The Jewish Home announced that it would not change its list of candidates for the 21st Knesset.

Last night at a closed women's conference held in the Gola in Petah Tikva, Ayelet Shaked announced that she was returning to politics to compete in one of the lists. As previously reported in Kipa , Ayelet Shaked met yesterday with Naftali Bennett to find out their political path down the road. As mentioned, in the last elections for the new right-wing party created by the years, some 1,400 votes were missing in order to pass the threshold.

BITTERSWEET: Adva Biton Gives Birth to a Girl on Birthday of Daughter Adele HY”D, Killed in Terror Attack

Six years after the stone-throwing terror attack which led to the death of young Adele Biton H”YD, her mother, Adva Biton gave birth to a seventh child. Incredibly, the newborn shares a birthday with her older sister she was not able to meet.

At the beginning of the month of Nissan in 5763, Adele, then aged three, was critically wounded after Palestinians threw stones at the family car as they drove on the Trans-Samaria Highway near Ariel. As a result, her mother collided with a truck, leaving the wounded Adele in a comatose state.


About a year and a half after the attack, while Adele was still recuperating, her mother gave birth to a first child after four daughters. Two days later, Adele returned to the family home for further rehabilitation, but a few months later was hospitalized in serious condition following complications from pneumonia. She would not recover and was tragically Niftar at age 5.
Now, the family embraces their seventh daughter, B’chasdei Hashem.

"Gabriel will win and stand on his feet"
Gabriel Lavi's wife who was seriously wounded in the attack in the Old City: "We will continue to walk through the Damascus Gate, we will not let them restrict us."


Gabriel Lavie, who was seriously wounded in the stabbing attack in the Old City of Jerusalem on Friday morning, underwent surgery at Shaare Zedek Medical Center and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit. "We will continue to walk through the Damascus Gate, we will not let them restrict us, I am sure he will win and be on his feet," his wife Nili Lavi said to Kan News.

Dr. Alon Schwartz, senior surgeon in the trauma department at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, updated Gabriel's condition: "About ten minutes before seven we received a report of a man who was stabbed in the Old City and was transferred to the trauma room with stabbings all over his body - scalp, neck, back and upper limbs. Schwartz added: "He was in a difficult situation and we gave him medical treatment. After his condition stabilized, he was rushed to an operating room and from there he was transferred to intensive care for further treatment."

A 16-year-old boy hospitalized at Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus was also injured in the attack.
