 Death of a vision
Time has come to admit there will be no friendly, peace-loving
Palestinian state
Uri Elitzur
Ehud Olmert returned from his farewell visit to Washington just when a
hail of Qassam and Grad rockets rained down on Negev communities, with
the IDF not really knowing what can be done about it.
Yet both from there and from here we can see that President Bush’s
vision regarding a viable Palestinian state that peacefully coexists
with Israel is out. The truth is that it was never Bush’s vision, but
rather, the Tel Aviv bubble’s pipe dream, which has been implanted
into Bush’s policy by Ariel Sharon.
It’s not America’s fault and it isn’t our fault; the time has come to
admit this vision cannot be realized. There will be no friendly and
peace-loving Palestinian state, there will only be Qassams on towns
outside Tel Aviv and Katyusha rockets directed at Ben-Gurion airport.
No fence and no separation will hold, and no Palestinian leader will
renounce the right of return or make do with the 1967 borders. We
already tried it 10 times. Since Oslo, every Israeli withdrawal,
either with or without an agreement, only gave rise to terrorism and
bloodshed, and every period of diplomatic impasse created a period of
calm.
Every time we made a step towards realizing the two-state vision, the
result was casualties on both sides. The further we distanced from
this vision, the lesser the bloodshed became. It is not the “enemies
of peace” or the “radicals” who are perpetrating terror against us.
Our partners in the peace talks are doing it, the Arafats and the
Barghoutis. Those are facts, not theories.
Why do logical people cling to such unrealistic vision, which has
crushed time and again against reality, and always with bloodshed and
suffering? The answer is fear and despair. Fear of the Arab population
about to drown us in a dark demographic sea, and despair over the
State of Israel’s ability to rule and control its own fate.
Those who seek peace and life should first of all stop fearing. The
Arabs will not drown us and won’t become the majority between the
Jordan River and the Mediterranean, neither today or in 50 years.
Their birthrate is declining, and it is already quite close to our
birthrate. Their emigration numbers are higher than ours and it has
been going on for 60 years now, during all periods and under all
conditions. Even if we annex all the Arabs residing in Judea and
Samaria to Israel and all of them become Israeli citizens, Israel will
still be the Jewish State and it will continue being that way and be
both democratic and just.
We’re the minority
In the Middle East, we are the minority and they’re the majority. We
are 5.5 million Jews surrounded by 250 million Arabs. In terms of
land, we are one of the poorest nations on earth, while the Arabs are
amongst the wealthiest nations. We are right in our demand for a
Jewish state, and we are right to struggle for every hill and every
plot in the land of our forefathers, the very little that has been
left for the minority.
Nobody will wrest away the Jewish people’s state from them, and nobody
will be removing the nation that belongs to the State of Israel. Even
if we have a very large Arab minority in Israel, one quarter or one
third of the population, it will not be allowed to take away the state
from the Jewish people, because in a broader perspective Arab citizens
in Israel do not belong to the minority, but rather, to the large and
wealthy Arab majority, part of which lives in the only state of the
Jewish minority. Natural and democratic justice will require the Arabs
to live in the state of the Jewish people as citizens with equal
rights who are loyal to their country.
Of course, in the post-modern world and vis-à-vis the post-Zionist
conscience we have a Palestinian narrative that clashes with the
Jewish-Zionist narrative. The problem is that they cling to their
narrative, while we aim to represent both us and them, both the UN and
the International Court of Justice.
If we rid ourselves of this despicable habit and cling to our justice,
the decent people of the world will stand by us, because we are more
just, and also because we’re the minority, and a decent person stands
by the minority. And mostly, if we want a state of our own and a
government of our own, we must realize that we have the right to rule;
that we have no choice but to rule.

 Palestinian state
