If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy.<
I guess it depends on how you define Torah. Actually it's in Tehillim (Ps. 137), but apart from that, I agree with every word you wrote. You go, Meryl.

It is much more likely, as you say, that the Palis will use a newly Judenrein West Bank to attack Israel. But they were warned against that and would reap the results. To avoid them, all the Arabs would have to do is not attack Israel and the Jews.

I don’t think such a strategy will happen. I do think that Israel and the US ought to give the “peace process” a rest until the Arabs prove that they are able and willing to make peace. Until then there is no purpose in blathering with terrorists about a peace they will refuse to accept.

There is no way to ensure that the expelled people don’t simply sneak back in, unless there are Israeli settlements present to provide continuous intel. Just like the Gaza Strip, if the IDF drags the settlers out of the West Bank against their will, it won’t ever be re-settled, and will simply have to be invaded over and over for temporary respites from continuous artillery and rocket bombardment.

And the world will continue to pretend the rockets and bombs are meaningless, or worse, proof that Israel deserves to be destroyed. The world is too lazy to defend itself, let alone defend an embarrassingly successful nation like Israel.

If Israel’s enemies once get the upper hand ethnic cleansing is the best Israel’s Jews can expect. More likely they will face genocide. Some of the younger women might survive. Between polygamy and honor killings the Arabs have a shortage of nubile females, so they might let some live. But such women would not be allowed to raise their children as Jews, so Jews would disappear from the Middle East.

For those who are upset about this suggestion, it is sauce for the gander, as I pointed out about the goals of Israel’s enemies (especially the Palestinian Arabs). It is no more than was done to the Germans of Poland after World War II for their complicity in being part of Nazi Germany’s genocidal war. The Arabs started a war intending the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jews. They can hardly expect that the Jews will tamely wait for them to do the job.

The alternative is to continue muddling through. There is no prospect of peace since Israel’s enemies do not wish it. Thus there is no point in “peace processes” that merely lead to more terrorism and war. Give it a rest for ten years, and maybe Israel’s enemies will resign themselves to letting Israel live in peace. Let them learn, finally, that if they stop attacking Israel they will have nothing to fear from Israel.

These people who despise Israel, these anti-Zionists and ideological Israel haters, do not care a whit for human rights because if they did they might just care about what is going on in Congo, and Darfur, and Chechnya, and Tibet, but for the most part they do not.

They claim to be humanists, even as they spread hatred.

I find it utterly revolting.
