Israel
Will Be Palestine: Israel Is Located On Historic Palestine
21 September 2010
By Gilad Atzmon
A meeting between Palestinian Prime Minister Salam
Fayyad and Israeli deputy foreign minister Danny
Ayalon ended abruptly yesterday. The dispute followed
the Israeli deputy foreign minister’s demand that the
meeting’s summary should refer to the notion of ‘two
states for two peoples,’ rather than just ‘two
states.’
"I wanted that at the very least it will note two
states for two peoples. I demanded to know what they
meant. One Palestinian state and one bi-national
state, or another Palestinian state?" the deputy
minister told Ynet. "I made it clear that we were out
of the picture if the summary didn’t say two states
for two peoples."
The Palestinian PM could not accept such a demand for
very many reasons: Israel is located on historic
Palestine. It came to life through robbery and ethnic
cleansing. It is maintained by theft. At least a fifth
of Israel’s population are Palestinians. And if this
is not enough, not a single living Palestinian
negotiator is ever going to let the refugee issue go,
and for a good reason. The right of return is still
the crux of the Palestinian cause.
Interestingly enough, within the context of the two
states solution, a Palestinian state would be
geographically defined: it would be a state of its
citizens, and it would also be a civilised amalgam of
different ethnicities and religions. Israel, on the
other hand, would be a racially orientated setting: it
would be the Jewish State, where Jews come first. I
wonder why anyone in the international community would
support such a solution or such a state. However, I
wasn’t surprised to read in Ynet that Tony Blair, who
participated in the earlier part of the meeting
yesterday, “supported the Israeli stance”. I guess
that after dragging us all into a religious war with
no end, Blair has developed an affinity with
Judeo-centric arguments and the Zionist way of
thinking. After all, let’s not forget, it was Zionist
Lord Levy and the Labour Friends of Israel who funded
his party at the time it launched the war in Iraq.
It also shouldn’t take us by surprise that the current
rounds of talks are leading nowhere. In fact, given
that Zionism does not include peaceful political
precepts, the Israel-Palestine conflict cannot be
resolved by the current peace talks or any kind of
resolution dominated by the Zionist world view . The
Jewish state presents itself as a revival of the
Biblical Israelite nation, and this means in practice,
a disastrous conflict with no end. This conflict is
probably the greatest threat for world peace, but it
is certainly tragic also for Israelis who are being
born into a doomed reality set by a phantasmic
Biblical tale.
In the meeting, Ayalon said that “Israel will continue
to support the Palestinian economy, even without its
consent”, but he also noted that “Israel's security
needs must also be taken into consideration”. Instead
of being motivated by a sincere desire for peace and a
spirit of reconciliation, Israeli policy makers are
committed to the philosophy of ‘carrot and stick’ :
they offer a combination of ‘rewards’ and ‘punishment’
to induce ‘good subservient behaviour’ amongst the
Palestinians. The Palestinians are constantly offered
very little while at the same time, the IDF is ready
to unleash its deadly might. Israelis are basically
buying time, yet, by doing so, they clearly sacrifice
their future. It is no secret that for Palestinians to
win, all they need is time.
The ‘two states solution’ is a futile idea and it is
about time the International community stopped wasting
any effort in trying to achieve such a resolution. The
facts on the ground are clear, as Daniel McGowan
clearly suggested a few months ago:
“Within the current borders controlled by Israel
(including pre-1967 Israel, the West Bank, Gaza and
the Golan Heights) there is in fact a single state. It
has one electrical grid, one water system, one
currency, one major highway system, one postal
service, and one external border. Goods and people
entering this de facto state come through harbors,
airports, and a restricted number of crossings. Bills
of lading and passports are checked and stamped by
officials of this single state.”
This one state is momentarily called Israel, and it is
dominated ideologically by Jewish racism and fuelled
practically by Talmudic supremacy. However, this will
change. Against all odds, the Israeli nuclear power,
Jewish lobbies around the world, F-35 stealth planes
and Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister’s enthusiasm,
Israel will become a state of its citizens and by the
time this happens, it will be called Palestine.
