The state of Israel is facing major challenges these days from multiple sources.
We have a building pressure from the outside and from the inside.
Unfortunately,
too many people in the international community are being steadily
brainwashed against preserving the interest and the integrity of the
state of Israel and that of the Jewish people, by well-funded
anti-Israeli operatives like the BDS movement, the Radical
pro-Palestinian organizations and by state sponsors of terrorism like
Iran. At the same time, there are also some oblivious good-willed people
and states, who think that there are easy solutions to the complicated
problems in the Middle East.
Within the state of Israel, where
the decisions and the directives of the ministry of education are so
important, we see inadequate attention to the education of students from
all walks of life about the historic and current just cause of the
state of Israel and the Jewish people.
If we look at what the
Arab sector students are learning from their teachers and from their
self-serving clergy, we will realize that the problem is even more
challenging. In recent times it would have been unimaginable to have
Arab youth riot in pogroms against their own Jewish neighbors within the
state of Israel. Surprisingly, this happened very recently, for
example, in Jerusalem, in Haifa, in Lod and in Akko.
In addition,
when we look at the out of control building constructions and
agricultural expansions in the territories of Judea and Samaria, the
Negev and elsewhere, some of it sponsored by the EU, some by Muslim
countries and by others, one can see a strategic plan to weaken the
state of Israel and eventually to remove it from the Middle East altogether.
On top of that, we have just seen an Arab member of the
Knesset, who joined the newly created Israeli government, who served as
the substitute chairperson of the Knesset, challenging a speaking
member of the Knesset and ordering him to be removed by security, due to
the fact that he did not address him specifically, in a way of his
choice.
This Arab member of the Knesset and the newly formed Israeli
government, stated recently that the Jews should not have the right to
visit the Temple Mount, despite the fact that he is well aware of the
fact that it is the holiest site for the Jewish people, even from before
the times of the establishment of Islam as a religion.
One of
the biggest challenges that. most probably, the state of Israel will
have to face, is the pressure to relinquish a part of its ancestral
homeland to the Palestinian Authority, despite the fact that the PA is
not recognizing the right of the Jewish people to any part of the state
of Israel, and is actively engaged in the attempt to liquidate the state
of Israel in stages.
Therefore, the state of Israel must pay
special attention to the proper education of Jewish and Arab students in
the schools in Israel. In addition, special attention must be dedicated
to educate the population at large, within the state of Israel and
across the globe, exposing the malicious anti-Israeli propaganda. In
addition, the state of Israel will have to share widely the truthful
information about the just cause of the state of Israel and the Jewish
people.
Jews should be allowed to build their future within their
ancestral homeland, should it be in the Galilee, in the Negev or in
Judea and Samaria. The state of Israel should block illegal land grabs
by squatters, even if they are financed by the EU.
Should peace
negotiations move forward, the state of Israel, should not relinquish
anything in any irreversible step to the Palestinian Authority, unless
they change dramatically from where they stand today. The reason is very
simple. So far, the PA has demonstrated their intentions to destroy the
state of Israel very clearly. They refused multiple very generous
negotiated peace offers, they continue incitement to terror in their
schools and through their public media. They thrive on a well-planned
and well financed deception across the world, and they will not take any
relevant steps to recognize the state of Israel as a Jewish state or
educate their people for peace.
In the year 2005, Ariel Sharon thought that by removing all the
Jewish inhabitants and by giving the Arab Palestinians a nice piece of
land in Gaza without Jews, they would show the world that they can run a
responsible government, and build a beautiful resort on the seashore of
the Mediterranean Sea. Unfortunately, we have received a terror state
in Gaza, run by Hamas, and supported internationally by too many corrupt
or oblivious countries and individuals.
As we have no
alternatives, we must fortify and expand our educational system in
Israel and across the world, and protect our territorial integrity, if
we want to preserve the state of Israel in the Land of Israel, for the
future generations of our people, and for those who want to live in
peace with us.
