Mandate for Israel
|
A Democratic Jewish State
The Mandate for Israel
extends Israel sovereignty over all of Judea and Samaria and ensures that Israel is preserved as a democratic Jewish state. Highlights of the MANDATE for ISRAEL ·
Israel law will be
extended to all of Judea and Samaria. ·
Residents of Judea and Samaria
will become permanent residents of Israel and elect local officials. ·
Civil and religious rights
for all residents. ·
Citizenship standards and opportunities will be phased in over time. Pursuant to Israel's reunification of Jerusalem in 1967, Jerusalem Arabs became subject to Israeli law and received blue Israel ID cards. Citizenship was initially offered and today, fewer than 5% are Israeli citizens.
TWO STATE PLANS Two-state plans seek to end the current status of
indeterminacy and limbo. Many believe that two-state plans will prevent a
possible demographic catastrophe that would destroy Israel as a democratic
Jewish state. The demographic basis for this fear has been disproved in studies presented in the United
States and Israel. Ironically, two-state plans that seek to avoid demographic
catastrophes all permit Arab immigration west of the Jordan River
into the new Palestinian state. This unlimited immigration will quickly lead to
an irreversible demographic catastrophe and
assure that the Jewish population west of the Jordan River will become a
minority and could ultimately endanger the very existence of the State of
Israel. ·
not be a viable independent entity
·
oppose the existence of a Jewish
state
·
be led by terrorists dedicated to
the destruction of Israel and become a global center of terrorism ·

return and refugee issues ·

dual-loyalty problems for Israeli-Arabs ·
leave unresolved issues relating
to Jerusalem and the "settlements" ·
become allied and cooperate with
rogue regimes and terrorists ·
continue to support hate education
in schools and mosques ·
support anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist,
and anti-Semitic organizations globally ·
arm with conventional and
unconventional weapons ·
create endless territorial, water,
and resource disputes ·
lead to violence, war of attrition
and a major conflict ·
create demographic problems
between the sea and the river ·
lead to demoralization and the
decisive weakening of the State of Israel Israel has withdrawn entirely from Gaza. Hamas and the Moslem Brotherhood are in control. Rather than trying to create another Gaza, it is time to investigate new alternatives for Judea and Samaria based on global dynamics and realities on the ground. Israel combined with Judea and Samaria has a two-to-one Jewish majority and with proper
governmental initiatives that majority will grow. Demographic pressure which strongly influenced policy after 1967 is no longer valid. Israel has reached a critical mass of Jewish population and must now make decisions based on a strong and growing Jewish majority. It is not too late to avoid the tragedies that the
current status will bring. Israel must ensure its long-term viability and
include the entire Judea and Samaria region in a democratic structure that preserves Israel as a Jewish state. It is time to move on. In over 100 years, no Arab leader has ever recognized Israel's right to exist as a Jewish State. Israel's mere sovereignty is unacceptable and undermines the foundations of Islam. Nonetheless, well meaning Israel and International personalities as well as several malevolent leaders keep trying to accomplish the impossible.
In May 18, 2009, President Obama highlighted the intractable issues inherent in all two-state plans: "If
we resume negotiations, as we plan to do, then I think that the Palestinians
will have to recognize Israel as a Jewish state; will have to also enable
Israel to have the means to defend itself. And if those conditions are met,
Israel's security conditions are met, and there's recognition of Israel's
legitimacy, its permanent legitimacy,
then I think we can envision an arrangement where Palestinians and Israelis
live side by side in dignity, in security, and in peace." On
April 2004, President Bush acknowledged that: "In
light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli
population centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final
status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines
of 1949. And all previous efforts to negotiate a two-state solution have
reached the same conclusion." |
