It is clear that the French version of two states means one Arab country free of Jews, because within the framework of this deal, Jews living in the Arab state will be transferred, while Jews and Arabs will live together in the other state.
The
French peace initiative, based on the two-state solution, has been
gaining steam in recent weeks. Note that the goal is not "two states for
two separate nations" but rather two states.
It is clear that the
French version of two states means one Arab country free of Jews,
because within the framework of this deal, Jews living in the Arab state
will be transferred, while Jews and Arabs will live together in the
other state. There will be increasing pressure to transform the
nation-state of the Jews into a state of all its citizens, and the
Jewish state's Palestinian neighbor will increasingly incite its Arab
minority against its Jewish majority.
Members of the Quartet
-- the U.S., Russia, the U.N. and the EU -- are planning to issue a
report Thursday that will stress that the future two-state solution is
in jeopardy and provide an overview of the diplomatic moratorium imposed
on the so-called peace process by Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas.
Abbas is clearly not
interested in peace with Israel and has no intention of recognizing
Israel as the Jewish state. He wants to secure the right of return for
millions of Arabs to enter our sovereign land, destroy it and build
their state upon its ruins. This is clearly stated in the Palestinian
National Charter, which Abbas insists on teaching every child in the
Palestinian education system. But the destruction of the Jewish state
can only be achieved by forcing a deal on Israel, and the French are
doing their best to lend Abbas a helping hand.
The French are very
eager to push forward an initiative that goes against international law
and will bring about the division of Israel and ensure that Jews and
Arabs live in a perpetual state of war. This may be due in part to the
number of Muslim citizens eligible to vote in France.
In 1938, the Munich
Agreement signed between Hitler's Germany and England unilaterally moved
to disregard Czechoslovakian sovereignty and transfer a section of its
territory to Germany. This gave Hungary and Poland the green light to
take over other areas of Czechoslovakia, which Germany would conquer
along with the rest of the country six months later. Although the Munich
Agreement was signed a year before the outbreak of World War II, there
is no doubt that it created the necessary conditions for war. Abbas is
hoping to repeat this process with Israel.
One of the many reasons
to oppose the French initiative is the fact that the core of the plan
runs contrary to international law -- the same law that established
Jewish sovereignty in the State of Israel following World War I. The
British Mandate for Palestine was approved by the Allies in 1920 at the
San Remo Conference and was unanimously adopted by the League of Nations
two years later. The U.S. is also obligated to uphold the mandate as it
was signed by President Harding at the Anglo-American Convention in
1924.
It is no longer
feasible to work toward a two-state solution. Even those on the Left
understand that the settlements have created a new reality in Judea and
Samaria. Therefore, our leaders should strive for another solution, and
that is the gradual implementation of Israeli rule over the area. This
is the only solution that will stand the test of time and stabilize the
situation, and it doesn't even threaten the solid Jewish majority in the
land of Israel.
