Op-ed: Arabs can live full life in Jewish state, satisfy political desires in territory called ‘Jordan’
Elyakim Haetzni, YNET
The peace camp is mourning. The vision of dividing the land is no longer possible, and the inevitable result is a “bi-national state,” they claim. Yossi Sarid lamented “the end of the Jewish state” on television, and the bi-national phobia has even been joined recently by Benjamin Netanyahu – who is, seemingly, still head of the national camp.
The creators of this artificial panic should deal with the previous attempt to divide the land: The UN General Assembly resolution from November 29, 1947. On a territory allotted there to a state defined as “Jewish,” sat next to 598,000 Jews another 497,000 Arabs – almost equal numbers. In other words, that partition solution contained exactly what concerns those who oppose the wholeness of the Land of Israel today – the danger of a bi-national state. What saved the State of Israel from becoming bi-national was the Arabs’ departure, which happened during the War of Independence and created a democratic Jewish majority and that same “Jewish state” which Sarid and his friends are mourning the loss of.
But the peace camp, and not just them, opposes the idea of a “transfer,” and rightfully so, and so if they were there in those days, the State of Israel would not have been established in the first place, because there were too many Arabs on its territory. Or would Yossi Sarid have established the State as well despite its demographic situation, between the sea and the Jordan River? So what does the great justice of the leftists rely on, Kahane’s doctrine?
Those who drafted the 1947 Partition Plan thought differently. They believed the state would be Jewish nevertheless, as long as not all Arabs in it would be its citizens, but rather the citizens of the neighboring nation state, the Palestinian one. It was not their physical presence in the Jewish state that appeared as an obstacle, but rather the danger that they would become a political majority. The UN considered overcoming that danger by having an Arab resident in Jaffa, for example, vote in Nablus. This principle was also adopted by the Oslo wise men, who allowed the Arabs of east Jerusalem to vote in the elections for the West Bank autonomy from within Jerusalem – at the post office on Salah al-Din Street.
In general, the Jerusalem coexistence experiment has escaped the eyes of the observers, who are ignoring the fact that most of the city’s Arabs prefer Israeli rather than Palestinian sovereignty. They are also ignoring the cooperation between members of the two nations in daily life, which is evident in shopping malls, in hospitals and in any taxi, restaurant and factory. It’s not a love story, but it is a success story.
Today’s demographic conditions are better than ever before. Instead of an Arab advantage of six children per family on average in the previous century, it is almost equal now: Three children among the Arabs and three among the Jews. And yet, it would be better if the Arabs of Judea and Samaria continue to enjoy their autonomy as it is today, which allows them to elect their representatives for their home rule. The national right to vote which they are missing is only possible in that part of the Land of Israel – Palestine, as they call it – which the English separated for that need in 1922, and is today Jordan.
From any aspect, there is no reason why all Arabs in the western Land of Israel should not live a full life in a Jewish state, apart from satisfying their political desires. The land has already been divided once for that purpose, and that division fulfills the “two state for two people” vision. It makes no difference if that state will be called Jordan or Palestine. A second division, of the one-quarter left for the Jews, is not a vision but a curse – and if indeed, as the Left fears, this division is no longer possible, we should thank God.

I like christian broads. I loved making out with christian missionary women. Two can play the game of deceit. I won but so did they I think? 🙂
And she called me Vulgarian? What would “yeshu” say about such vulgar clips? I think his/her religious values and principles begin and end with screwing the Jews and stealing souls.
“And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law”
“To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.”
“To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”

After the download of the ladies? you sent to me. You have a very strange idea of Christian womanhood.
CuriousAmerican Said:
actually they do, just ask those jews you forgot about who fled the arab lands. ask the christian and secular europeans who are again supporting jew swindling and jew murder with their muslim allies.
CuriousAmerican Said:
I think you should pay them as you are the cause of the problem at its origins. However, in spite of yur futile protestations: Jews paying the arabs to leave, although a panacea to you, will have no success without arab cooperation and there will be no arab cooperation. hence a moot point.
CuriousAmerican Said:
let them have citizenship in gaza, no permission is necessary to send them to gaza. the arabs have got more than their fair share of the former mandate territory which included Jordan. alsos they have demonstrated, obscenely that no jews can exist under their authority(jordan, gaza, west bank PA)
CuriousAmerican Said:
their citizenship is not israels problem or obligation.
CuriousAmerican Said:
the jews must pay, this is your mantra. when they are across the border it will be others who will benefit from solving their problems, it will be irrelvant to Israel.
CuriousAmerican Said:
well played. Apealing to the jews principles. The world has alreaady demonstrate, under the realm of the idolized geneva conventions, that transfer is valid and principled as a reasonable solution. after all they accepted it for the jews. would you be suggesting a double standard that what is pricipled for the Jews cannot also be principled for the arabs?
Principles suggest that those who created and maintain the problem should pay the damages and the solutions: EU(christianity), UN, arabs.
CuriousAmerican Said:
they already hate us and are already trying to kill us: it is the devilish merger of the goals of christianity with those of islam. why would one go crying to those who seek the destruction and murder of the jews.
Vulgarian
@ CuriousAmerican:
I n Texas they put their money where their mouths are!!!!!!!!!!
CuriousAmerican Said:
You steal them if you lie, cheat, bribe, misrepresent and trick, a believer in any faith to yours. Since 99.9% of the time it’s you missionaries who approach the victims and not the victims seeking you out I call it stealing souls.
I applaud Muslims in how they treat unwanted unsolicited attacks by blood sucking dirt bag missionaries. Whatever my criticisms of Islam they got it right when they get their hands on missionaries, Jews need to learn from their other enemy how to deal with attacks by fundamentalists.
CuriousAmerican Said:
Stereotyping Jews again?CuriousAmerican Said:
Using Ted as a shield is convenient for you. Chicken!
I have no money.
You or your missionary friends have enough money to steal souls and over the last ten years have spent well over a billion dollars just for converting Jews. So it’s not a matter of money just how it’s used. Change priorities.
Nope you can’t stop us or me.
I don’t mind killing more, they are enemies who want to kill me and other Jews and have tried unsuccessfully to kill me many times. As for them caring about dying? Some few don’t mind most do mind, they all want to live. Only a handful are willing to commit suicide. Most blab like stuffed pigs when caught and interrogated. Most fink on their friends and brothers without so much a hand laid on them and most will fink for money. You really buy into stereotypes
Jewish blood is cheap and while I get pissed off when many are killed I blame the Jews and their policies more than the Arabs.
Go screw yourself.
Yes we steal souls and sell them on the black market. Are you insane?
If you were to place the average real estate value holding of Christians vs Jews, who do you think would own more property per capita? Hmmm! Are you paranoid?
Out of respect for Ted, I won’t answer that the way I would like.
I have no money.
But if you want to go fight with them, I cannot stop you. You will kill more. They do not mind dying. But when Jews get killed … and some Jews will … do not come to me crying and say, “Why do they hate us?”
I told you to pay them to leave.
CuriousAmerican Said:
Are you kidding? To throw out Jews from their homes is our principles. Israel made a contract with settlers and reneged.
.
Israel changes the rules for Jews why not Arabs?
Who says? Should I list all those countries who annexed with affording enfranchisement? Double standards? Jew hater SOB!!!!
They are already leaving in significant numbers to not have to pay them just dry the swamp of opportunities. No work no freebies no tax transfers. Give em time they will leave on their own or kill each other in clan warfare.
You are so concerned over losing the opportunity to steal Muslim’s souls and make a few bucks off of real estate, I think it’s you and those of your cult that have the most to gain. Pay them your self
Israel benefits, let Israel pay.
CuriousAmerican Said:
What stopping you ,use your own money.
The point is: Does Israel have principles?
If so, it cannot change the rules. Annexation means enfranchisement.
Either that or pay the young, unemployed J&S Arabs to leave.

CuriousAmerican Said:
You have never been married, have you!!!!!!!!!Chicito. Rules are always changing,especaially when its come to grammer.
Ben Gurion said he would give citizenship to thos Arabs who fell under Israeli control in 1948.
I do not see how you can change the game rules, now.
Those Arabs under Israeli control in J&S – and all of them are ultimately under Israeli control – have to be awarded Israeli citizenship, if the land is annexed.
Either that or pay them to leave.
Jordan will NO longer accept them.
You cannot offer them the citizenship of what is now a third party nation. You might as well offer them Japanese citizenship.
This is the root cause of the whole problem in J&S.
The Arabs in Israel are a bit more quiescent because they have citizenship.
For 46 years you have wanted the land of J&S, but not the Arabs on it. It does not work that way.
PAY THEM TO LEAVE!
