The ‘pathway’ to a Palestinian Arab state is not a ‘gesture,’ but a proven security risk, a diplomatic trap, and an opening to a real threat against Israel’s heartland.
Israel National News
The American resolution submitted to the UN Security Council includes what is defined as ‘a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood,’ something that may sound to the more naïve among us like a moderate political compromise. In practice however, it is a strategic trap that threatens Israel’s security and the stability of the region.
Below are several central points that should alarm and concern every Jew who cares about the future of his or her people and our land.
The proposed path is a slippery slope
Historically, every ‘gesture’ or ‘first political step’ has become the basis for the next Arab demand from Israel, and that demand becomes an invitation for yet another one, and so on.
Israeli agreement to enter a political process places Israel on a track of pressure, where any halt will be defined as a ‘diplomatic crisis’ for which Israel will be blamed. Meanwhile, no one in the world will treat a massacre or a wave of Arab terror as grounds to stop the pressure on Israel.
The myth of demilitarizing the state that would be established
Our painful and searing experience from Gaza proves: even if the word ‘demilitarization’ is written on some document, in practice it is a naïve (or feigned) hope with no way to enforce it.
A Palestinian Arab state in Judea and Samaria would mean:
-Missiles on the Tel Aviv metropolitan area,
-Arab Control of the mountain ridges,
-A smuggling route from Iran,
-A direct threat to Ben-Gurion Airport and Israeli population centers,
-Alliances with states hostile to Israel.
This is an existential threat to the State of Israel and its residents. Nothing less.
Upgrading the enemy’s international standing
The proposed ‘path’ grants the Arab Palestinians recognition as a supposedly sovereign people in the making.
This status would allow them to join international organizations, advance claims in The Hague, and demand the 1967 borders as a starting point.
In other words: the enemy would receive a diplomatic state without even being required to renounce terror.
Continuous Western pressure
Israeli agreement to this dangerous path would bring with it European and American demands, either by this administration or another, to carry out what Israel would have committed to.
The immediate meaning is:
-A freeze on Jewish construction,
-Commitments to withdrawals,
-Harm to security.
In other words, the political path becomes a collar around Israel’s neck.
Strengthening Iran and the collapse of the pro-Western bloc
A Palestinian Arab state would create:
-Another base for Iran
-Shockwaves in the moderate Gulf kingdoms,
-The unraveling of the American-Israeli axis.
Instead of regional stability, we, and the entire region and beyond, would receive chaos that strengthens everyone’s enemies.
Harm to Israel’s day-to-day life
A Palestinian Arab state would harm:
-Movement of Israeli communities
-Transportation between north and south
-Access to Jerusalem
-Civilian security,
-The economy in the central region.
Such a terror state would render the heart of the country unstable.
And above all, the worst of all:
America’s alignment with the ‘path’ leading to a Palestinian Arab state constitutes an injustice to truth and justice. It is a slap in the face of the Bible, a surrender to the forces of darkness.
In summary
The ‘path’ to a Palestinian Arab state is not a ‘gesture,’ but a proven security risk, a diplomatic trap, and an opening to a real threat against Israel’s heartland.
Instead of a path that weakens Israel, sovereignty must be strengthened, Israeli control over the territory deepened, and the world must be told clearly: only Israel is responsible for its security borders.
Complete Israeli sovereignty between the sea and the Jordan river is the only viable plan for the nation-state of the Jewish people.
Therefore we call upon the ministers and the Prime Minister with a clear message: America is pressuring Israel? Do not capitulate!!!
