Yamit, I want the day to come when the Birachat Kohanim is sounded to all Israel and to all the Jews of the world, but from the top of the ground where the great temples of Israel once stood and where the Third Temple of the Jewish nation shall again be constructed, and in the days of haMelech Shlomo and of Ezra our great leader of the Babylonian exile.
—
For starters, I want a Jewish nationalist government, when in haShem’s good time one can assume power among the Jewish nation, to revoke the agreement under which a wak’f under control of the Emir of Trans-Jordan was empowered with management of the holiest site of the revived Jewish nation.
—
I will take this a step further and say that unless and until this step is taken, then no government purported to represent the Jewish nation should be considered any more legitimate than one of the Judenraten of the Warsaw and Lodz ghettos then the leadership of all the Israeli governments since the retirement of Yitzchak Shamir have come to resumble through their cowardly and obsequious trembling before the leaders of the goyim.
—
I wish you happiness through the eight full days of Pesach and far beyond that time.
—
The same blessings are valid for the rest of you Israpundit regulars. Even for those of you are who not Jewish. If you determinedly hang around with us, we have to assume that at least you like us.

My wife Stefi learned long ago to bake chametz-free matza which is at least as good as the official stuff sold in the local supermarkets, and even the relatively expensive matzot baked by the Lubavitchers. And yes, we are careful to observe the commandments about chametz. At least to the extent that we understand it.

The Jewish population of Israel indeed is growing. And all Zionists should seek to keep that growth on-track. doubling every 35-40 years as has been the case since the establishment of the State of Israel.
—
But all that effort and the promises borne by them and for the Jewish nation and Jewish state shall almost certainly be undone if the sovereignty of the State of Israel is not expanded to all Eretz-Yisrael that came under control of the Jewish state as a result of the great war of victory over Israel’s Arab enemies in June 1967.
—
It should be evident to everyone in worldwide Jewry as well as among the world powers that no peace is achievable between Israel and the Arabs now residing west of the Jordan River under the rule of Hamas in Gaza and Fatah in Shomron and Yehuda. Nor is it likely that any such peace ever shall be feasible with those particular Arabs so long as they are able to keep alive their hope and dream of one day overwhelming and destroying the Jewish state.
—
The plain and obvious fact is that Eretz-Yisrael must and shall be under either Jewish or Arab sovereignty, and that attempts to ignore what is obvious in this reqard and to divide the land among both is nothing but a prescription for perpetual war and grief among both peoples.
—
Because we are Jews, and because the Jewish nation residing in Eretz=Yisrael never can have peace with those Arabs, our nation has an obligation, rooted both in the historic national rights of our nation and in the need to perpetually defend those national rights against all present or future enemies, then we must advocate and carry out as soon as possible a carefully planned and long-term expansion of Israel’s borders to the east, west, north and south.
—
No such long-term actions are likely to be taken without first putting into power a Jewish nationalist government in Israel that not only is willing to undertake such as expansionist plan but is steadfast enough to carry it out regardless of any other consideration either domestic or foreign. This means cutting Israel loose from its overly-long self-imposed dependence upon the USA, which, in any case, is never again likely to exercise the kinds of international powers it could and did muster immediately following World War 2. Israel can — and should — balance its American relationships with close ties to Russia, China, India, Japan, Brazil and other large important countries.
—
Immediately, the long morch of the Jewish nation must begin with outright annexation of the whole of Shomron and Yehuda, in the same manner as all Jerusalem was added to Israeli jurisdiction in 1968.
—
This can be done in multiple stages, starting with the 62% of Shomron and Yehuda as delineated by the Oslo Agreement maps. Of the remaining 38%, Oslo mapped as Area B with its small villages and Area A with its urban centers which contains about 97% of the Arab population.
—
I have long advocated autonomy agreements to be negotiated separately by Israel with the leading personalities of the Arab urban clans (hamulas) of the cities of Jenin, Tulkarem, Nablus, Kalkilya, Ramallah, Jericho and Hevron. Such a move would naturally follow Israel withdrawing its official recognition of the Fatah gang, which, in any case, ought never to have been granted.
—
In any case, Israel taking the action of annexation followed immediately by direct discussions with the leadership group of each hamula, it is likely that those local Arab leaders will initiate break-up of the Fatah gang, simply because all such groups seek power and along with it, the money that can flow to them from good relations with the overall power holders, which in this case shall be the State of Israel and its rapidly growing economy.
—
Autonomous residential status in the various cities of the annexed territories should be as close as any non-Jew should be permitted to approach governance of the State of Israel. With few exceptions, no person who has refused or is restricted from national service in Israel’s armed forces should be permitted to vote in other than purely-local elections, and no non-Jew should be seated as a member of the Knesset of Israel.
—
This is not to say that the government of Israel could not have a constitutionally-governed Knesset as its supreme body, but with one or more lower-ranking elected councils to represent non-Jewish minority residents.
—
Ultimately, Israel’s security border in the west must rest upon the Gulf of Suez and either the Suez Canal or the Mitla Pass. In the east, the security border must be no further west than the Syrian Desert, to include all parts of the lands promised to the Jewish nation by the victors of World War 1. In the north, Israel should take control of southern Lebanon up to the Litani River gorge and the high peaks of the mountain range in the northern parts of Golan. In the south, Israel must one day control both side of the Straits of Tiran, and as needed, coastal bases south along the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.
—
With all these future acquisitions in hand, Israel will in fact be able to provide a homeland for the Jewish nation, this time growing in its own homeland of Eretz-Yisrael.
