Kedar [fantasy]:
Despite
the benefits of this ambiguous situation, Israel should adopt a clearer policy:
Since the PLO has not abandoned its plan to destroy Israel, it must end the
dream of establishing a state under the rule of this organization. The Hamas
movement began the process in Gaza, and Israel must continue it in Judea and
Samaria in order to establish seven city-states and to leave the rural areas
under Israeli control.
The
seven city-states will free most of the Arab population in Judea and Samaria
from Israeli control and Israel can offer citizenship to residents of the rural
space. These city-states based on local clans will be real entities and not the
fantasies of some Palestinian intellectuals and tired Israeli souls regarding
the existence of a single united Palestinian people in Gaza and in Judea and
Samaria.
The
Palestinian people exist just as the Syrian people do, the Iraqi, Libyan or
Sudanese people. The social reality in the Middle East is rooted in the culture
of the tribe, the ethnic group (Arabs, Kurds, etc.), the religious group
(Muslims, Druze, Alawites, Christians, etc.) and sectarian group (Sunni, Shia,
etc.). Only countries based on one homogeneous group can survive in this area,
and provide their citizens with a reasonable life.
Israel
must base its policy on reality, not on dreams and fantasies of a new Middle
East.
