Brainwashed Israelis do not support radical options for making their state Jewish. Greece, Turkey, Poland, and Czechoslovakia expelled unwanted populations without compensation, by administrative measures under the threat of force. Israeli Arabs can be similarly deported to Jordan.
If, however, the Jews want once again to surprise the world by their political correctness, several peaceful options exist to push the Arabs out of Israel. They options are not exhaustive, and pressure on Arabs to leave may proceed among many lines.
Minor, but widely publicized violence. It is not clear how many Arabs were killed in Dir Yassin, but the story made about 600,000 Arabs leave Israel in 1948.
The pressure of public discussion of deportation. Faced with the possibility of forceful eviction, many Israeli Arabs will choose to leave with compensation.
Jewish organizations could procure Israeli Arabs visas and agricultural property in Third World countries where land is abundant. Paying $10,000 per head for the country’s 1.4 million Arabs to leave isn’t a high price to keep Israel Jewish.
Jews can buy Arab property. Real estate in Israel is more expensive than in many Arab countries, and Arab farmers could relocate handily.
Private communities can set rules for admitting new members and exclude Arabs. Existing towns can be divided into private communities and close themselves to new Arabs. To the same end, towns could be incorporated and adopt pro-Jewish charters and specifically admit new members by a council vote which Arabs won’t pass.
Jews should not both with the miniscule savings from Arab labor. Restaurants with a “Cooked and served by Jews” logo could charge a small premium. Goods and farm produce marked Avoda Ivrit (Jewish Labor) will find buyers. Jews can boycott manufacturers and service providers who hire Arabs. A still more politically correct way is to increase minimum salary to a level acceptable to Jews. A policy of bringing short-term immigrant workers without minimum salary requirements or pension benefits will also reduce job opportunities for Arabs. Rotating shifts of temporary workers from China and India would bring large numbers of their people in contact with Israel and help build stronger political relations with them.
Arabs should be expelled for disloyalty to the State of Israel. Participants in pro-Palestinian demonstrations or administrative detainees should be stripped of their Israeli citizenship. Israel should not close Temple Mount to Jews for fear of Arab riots. Instead, open the Temple site, provoke the riots, and expel the participants. Their families can join them in Jordan.
The Israeli army should admit Arabs and send them to the forefront to fight other Arabs and comb the Palestinian territories. Many will desert, and many will be sentenced for negligence and their citizenship revoked.
Israel may institute patriotic procedures unacceptable to Arabs, such as obligatory singing of the national anthem daily at schools.
Israel should have a single official language, Hebrew. Arabs who study in Israeli schools and universities must study in Hebrew. Arabs must learn the history of the Jewish state they live in. Strict tests will ensure that Arab students who fail Israeli history are kicked out of Israeli schools.
Israel must normalize her Arabs. Let them pay taxes like Jews do, and stop turning a blind eye to Arab misdemeanors. Arabs happily build huge villages without construction permits which take Jews years to obtain. Let the Arabs go through the same bureaucratic nightmare. Destroy illegal Arab buildings, just as the government destroys illegal Jewish buildings. Make Arab life in Israel less than the tax-free paradise they enjoy now.
Stop the absurdity of a Jewish state subsidizing Arab families. Arab fathers collect monthly government checks for their offspring. The Jewish state should not encourage Arabs to breed. To ease the shock for Israeli ethnic-blind democracy, welfare can be privatized. The private Jewish National Fund now holds the land and gives it only to Jews. A similar private entity could disburse welfare only to Jews. Welfare benefits could also be conditioned on army service or related to the amount of taxes paid; both options disqualify Arabs.
Many Arabs depend on inefficient farming. Israel could increase the land tax, making it prohibitive for Arab villagers. More efficient Jewish farmers will survive the tax rate. The Israeli government could cut income tax for farmers to offset the land tax hike. That way, the compound tax rate for Jews would remain the same but would increase drastically for Arabs who cheat on their taxes. Arabs won’t offset the land tax hike with the decrease of other taxes because they don’t pay taxes. Their effective tax rate will increase greatly.
These measures would stir the Arabs and prompt many of them to emigrate from Israel. In the end, we must keep Israel Jewish by whatever means necessary.
Please, read an History book before saying all this nonsense. The arabs where there before the creation of Israel. … the things whe can actually read in the blogosphere…
As Weitzmann put it, When Jerusalem was ours, London was marshes.Your comment reminded me of a joke about two people going to their friend's birthday party. One suggests to buy him a book as a gift. The other retorts, But he already has one!That's about your suggestion to read A book on history.
I did like this essence. Some of it is a little fashistic- but I guess, it's just not PC "polished", because, after all, every single country, at certain stage, accept those elements. Remember Machiavelli's king, who is generous until he runs out of money, and then he inevitably became "greedy" in the eyes of his people, so why not to be greedy from the very beginning, and at least to have money ?Same with Democracy: it is a coin of freedom and tolerance , that running out, as arabs using it to fight Israel from within with a time. When situation will be intolerable, we will have to defend ourself, but it will be MUCH more ugly in the eyes of public opinion, than it can be now, relatively seamless… Maybe I am wrong, and we already passed that station…
By whatever means necessary, and by whatever name is given, it is still ethnic cleansing. Where does it stop?
To Tyke: Our policy stops creating the state, specifically a Jewish state not threatened with Arab majority. I don't recall European settlers in America to be particularly tolerant to the American Indians. States are not established contentiously or nicely.
The author is absolutely right; and we should be thankful that someone has the courage yet the vision to see the truth. The fact is that the whole concept of Eretz Yisrael depends upon the possession of Israel by the Jewish people–period. If we are not willing to pay the price for that, we have ourselves to blame.The issue is philosophical not tactical. Jerusalem was not even mentioned in Arab writing or the Koran–until 1948. Occupy Mecca, and you would have world outrage–but a tactical advantage. so too with Jerusalem.Our real adversaries are two: 1) The Israeli government, and 2) cultural affluence. It is an historical fact that a people with toughness and resolve will win. That was Sparta's advantage over Athens. Recall Viet Nam–a lesson no one in America has the guts to learn. America is losing its identity to Mexico.The Jews have become soft and spoiled. That–coupled with a lack of religious identity has allowed the Sharons and Olmerts and the rest to exert the identical influence as does the Neocons over Americans and for identical reasons. We are the trained monkey doing tricks in the corporate parlor. Thomas Jefferson himself said that Revolution would be needed periodically because of human tendancies even in the most perfect of constitutional systems. It is a house of cards the Neocons possess. Even now, Bush and his minions have bought enormous plots in Paraguay and are negotiating with that government to be protected from extradition should they face what they deserve.Sound familiar?
When I read this Article the only that came to mind was that the problem with the Arabs is that they Had Jews Next to them. They were all fine until Nato dropped the lot and moved them out for your settling friends.Back here - in North America - we call that Stealing Land … The only reason you are still there is that the US is backing you up and Jewish money and Political Figures are all over the USA.I'm no racist - Live and let live I figure - But when I read garbage like yours I feel like the Arab Revolt is not enough…But at the same time - you guys deserve each other - religion kinda fried your brain and you figure it's your way or no way … tolerance Zero … Extremist to the core … Your Superiority Complex is gonna get you in trouble … and no amount of weapons or political savvy will be able to help you then …Makes me want to vomit :0)
Well, Arabs have many problems, such as religion, lack of work ethics, culture, and so on, but you're right in the sense that we care of a single Arab problem: that they are too near to the Jews.FYI, NATO had nothing to do with Israel in any war whatsoever. In 1973, the US aid came too late and almost none was used. At any rate, Arabs received much much more from the USSR.Tell the American Indians about stealing the land.And if you really want to vomit, why don't you skip on your next beer?
And you guys don't hide behind your religion ?Some ascetic Jews asked a YMCA to put some non see threw glass so that the kids would not be exposed to people working out. they had the balls to say that we did not know how to raise our kids - outch … You got work Ethic - I will give you that.Culture - sure - I'll give you that too…As in 1948 - when we flew you in buddy - after the holocaust - and we deposited you on already owned soil. Stealing the Land - like in Egypt in 1968 or more than 2000 years ago when Moses walked the earth ?As for the American Indians - your right - we kinda gave it to them - but that was 200 Years ago - before HUMAN RIGHTS were two words slapped togheter in a same sentence. You guys are bombing the shits out of children - in 2006.If I was king ruler of this shing ding - I'd declare Marshall Law on all religion - you pray - your jailed - do it again - your hanged … just for 10 years … then everyone would stop killing each other and maybe one or two generations of Jews and Arabs would know what peace means … But going threw this forum and reading the stuff … Outch … you guys are hurting … and I think the Arabs are too… You've got Tanks - they have car bombs - everyone dies … nice … as for the vomit and beer thing … not exactly sure where you are going with that one …It's all good - I'll leave your forum alone - it's not my place - I can see that - just trying to give the other perspective of the situation - I hate it when people die for nothing… you have to remember that your ordeal in your neck of the woods is contagious … It's spreading like a hate plague … all over the world Arabs are perceived as crazy terrorists and jews are perceived a winny rich guys … how do you stop the circle of prejudice and violence … you guys must have an answer … let's hope it's pretty
To Ashamed: You might be surprised to know that in many (most) countries other than the permissive America exposing the people in gyms with large windows (typical in America) is indecent. That is not to say that the Ameircans are right or wrong on that minor matter, but rather the ethical standards of raising children are different across cultures.You just don't know what you're talking about regarding the 1948. Read history. The US imposed arms embargo on Israel during the war; there was no help besides the politically forced US vote in the UN.We don't accept that line that the European settlers could take the country from the American Indians before, and other peoples did so throughout the history in other lands, but now that historically standard way of building a country is banned to Israel. No.If you hate people dying 'for nothing,' how about the Americans dying for freedom in WWII, and for the plenty of non-material causes for the past two centuries? In your terms, the only wars 'for something' are robbery conquests. Then, perhaps, the only war 'for something' in the US hisotry - in your terms - is the conflict with Haiti.
The Canadien boy Said I'd leave you guys alone - I willIf your way of doing things is the right way - I hope the Diaspora leave other countries and immigrate back to good old Israel…it ain't happening unfortunatly.War Is useless and stupid - of course - I've not lost anyone close to me due to conflict - I guess a good number of people in your region have lost someone close - hence the animosity. Freeing the world from the Nazi was a must for the USA - even if they waited long and hard before moving in - look at the disaster in Irak - how can anyone sleep at night knowing that in 2006 - we purposly kill thousands of people every year - and yet turn a blind eye to Darfour and the Gaza StripI am not from USA -I'm in Canada - totally different - I guess the fine line between being too permissive and being radical is very fine … I know that I'm fed up cathering to minorities when they are blantlantly tresspassing common sense and good neighbouring…Anyways Peace Brother - I'm outta here - I've got a new appreciation for all of this now and will spread the word accordingly… thanks for the enlightenment…
You say, 'I'm fed up cathering to minorities when they are blatantly tresspassing common sense and good neighbouring…'Apply that logic to Arabs in Israel.
Apply the same Logic to Israel in the middle east
That's what we are doing in this blog. Israel is a bad neighbor, from Arab perspective, and they would try to get rid of us. Preempting the Arabs, we try to build Israeli security and depth of defense.Leftists, however, claim that Jews and Arabs could be good neighbors. It's nice to see you rejecting that nonsense.
Yes read an history book and you will find out the the jews where there before the Christians and the Muslims, so please Arab Muslims get in line and wait for your turn to became a nation. The Muslims are an aglomerate of races, because there are not only Muslims Arabs, but there are Indo, Chinese, Turkis, Persians, African and many others races. The willing of peace is in the court of the Arab and only they can decide if they want to live in peace on earth o die for the promise of heaven.
