*I would like to comment on Mazin Qumsieh's article about the two states
solution.
I am also , together with my family, against one state solution -many
people are against it in my country, but let us see who really is
responsible ( not totally , but mainly) for this phenomena!
_Israel is a small country. 800 km long. It has a population of 8-8.500
million people. about 6 million are jews, the other are Moslems,
Christians, Druz, BahaiBeduin moslems.. etc... The west bank enters deep
into israel, until 22 km from the Mediterranean sea. 15 Minutes from
where I live, and in my town there was a suicide bombing attack in one
of the hotels on passover dinner. Many of the guests died.
_1. until 1919 there was no Palestine , no Israel. It was the ottoman
empire, which was subdued by the British and french. Syria and LEBANON
got their recognition by the U.N in 1946, Israel and Palestine in 1947.
_Israel recognized the palestinian state, Arab nations and Palestinians
did not ! 5 Arab countries attacked Israel in the 1948 war, and Israel,
with God's grace, survived.
2_. |Since then - endless terror. suicide bombers and terrorists... and
retaliation wars. Terror started even before that, when Hebron-Nablus,
Jewish community was totally massacred by Arab mobs.
3. Refugees - in 1948 about 950 thousand refugees fled in the 1948 war
to about 5-6 Arab states- These Million people did not receive Citizen's
rights for about 66 years( except Jordan) !!!!! Countries in the world
generally give citizens rights after 5-10 years. _Jewish refugees fled
from Arab states, _threatened by mobs for their life, to Israel. Later
also from the Magreb countries. Jewish houses and Bank accounts were
confiscated by Arab governments. 47% of Israel's population originated
in Arab countries. When Ehud Barak was Prime Minister he offered
Tasser Arafaat the Gaza strip, 94% of the west bank ( the rest to be
territorial exchanges) Custodianship of the holy places to Islam etc.
But Araffat wanted to bring back 5 million people he called refugees...
_Israel could not and can not allow this, as it would undermine its
demographic situation._
3. Water Problems - Syria has two big river in the north, but most of
the water is used by Turkey who also built there dams... in the middle
and in the south Syria has a lot of dry land, when there is not rain,
and upheavals of farmers already occurred. Therefore Syria always wanted
the lake of Galilee - the only lake which Israel has and its water is
divided by agreement with Jordan. Palestinians are also benefiting.
Israel and Jordan are bringing by pipes and reservoirs the water to the
desert, which is a third of the whole of Israel. and Jordan too. Israel
is exporting vegetables grown in the desert by special irrigation
underground methods. Also uses desalinated water by desalinating plants.
Syria wants to be even near the lake, which by international laws
will give it the right to use its waters. Israel and Jordan and
Palestinians here after will not have enough water if Syria succeeds.
The three sources of the Jordan, which feed the Jordan which gives water
to the lake come from the Hermon Mountain and its vicinity. Syria tried
to deviate the Yarmouch source in 1970,The Hizballa movement put dirth
and sweure in the second source of the jordan, only by international
intervention it was stopped.
SYRIA IS TRANSFERRING ARMAMENT AND MISSILES TO THE HIZBALLA MOVEMENT IN
LEBANON FROM IRAN.
4. The intervention of Iran. Iran has an extgreme shia religious
regime as government.Iran usees proxis to undrmine regimes of moderate
Arab countries and especially israel, as a symbol... Iran also incites
and arms troups in Yemen and other places. The SHia extreme religious
regime wants to dominate the middle East, against the Suni regimes of
the rest of the Islamic world like Saudi Arabia etc. The Hizballa in
lebanon and the Hamas in Gaza are also shia.. _Israel has left the gaza
strip in 2005. and took out its few settlements from there. the gaza
people were completely free and had the good will of european
investment. The hamas movement was chosen to rule, and since then
israelis had enless missiles, sent by Iran through the sea and the Sinai
desert by beduins, through an underground city of tunnels which was
built by Hamas under Gaza city, from 300 tons and more of concrete,
which was designated to build houses and hotels etc. A lot of tunnels
were dug under the dividing wall and terorists entered the southern
kibbutzim and villages in order to kill. The entrances and stashing of
armament were done in citizens houses, in hospitals, mosques and even in
three U.N buildings. The Hamas sent missiles into Israel under the
shield of civil population for 10 years... Israel has every house
shielded by a special safety room, however these missiles killed people
and livestock and workers of kibbutzim and villages and cities around
GAZA and even far away by long range missiles, provided by Iran.. This
is why Israel put a siege on Gaza by sea and by land, letting all
merchandise to enter Gaza, but under supervision. The Zuk eitan war was
conducted because of these endless missiles, which entered israel every
half an hourk two hours, during the day, during the week and months for
10 years, causing children and people to be traumatized all the time.
The right wing government in Israel was chosen only because of endless
terror and missiles.
The amas movement does not recognize the existence of israel. In the
west bank, in Geography books studied at scools there is no srael on the
map..
5. PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All over the world there are networks of anti Israeli strong propaganda,
financed by rich oil Arab countries. The left in Europe is joining them.
This is a mixture of the old sickness of Anti Jewish hatered mixed with
propaganda against Israel. Palestinians work a lot on propaganda. They
send children to vex soldiers, to call their mothers whores and curse
them. The soldiers have strict orders not to be dragged into it, but
sometimes they can not hold themselves and then Palestinian
photographers take pictures and do not show the children throwing stones
or cursing. There is a smoothly oiled net of such photographers who sent
the material immediately to world media, which publishes it and shows it
on TV. Mr. Mazin Qumsieh himself his the head of a palestinian
propaganda network.I am just a private citizen.
however , among the settlers there is a group of Jewish extremists
Called Tag Mechir, which is responsible for bad things like the burning
of a house which caused a palestinan family such misfortune - and all
kind of hostile Grafity on houses..This group also fights soldiers who
try to stop them, and send stones to them. Sometimes it is difficult to
bring them to justice, as they are told not to talk and not to reveal
anything to the police.. and therefore there's lack of evidence. However
there are procedures now to put them out side the law as a terror group.
6. Settlements. The settlement problem is a harsh problem for Israelis,
as in this matter conscience fights against the need for survival. As I
mentioned the west Bank enters deep into Israel until 22 k"m from the
sea. A lot of Hamas people are in the refugee camp, and among the
general lpopulation of the west bank, although there are a lot of
Moderate people too. This government says that we have left Lebanon (
the second Lebanon war was caused by 3 years of Missiles sent by the
Hizballa into the northern cities and villages of Israel . ( the first
lebanon war was to eradicate the Yasser Arafaat terror grups. The war
was stopped by Israeli mothers who protested and paraded. The government
says that we left Lebanon, and the Hizballa is sending missiles and
shoots .. Also kidnaps people and after lies turns them back as corps.
We left Gaza and the Hamas was chosen and started sending missiles. The
danger of Hamas sizing the west bank and starting from there, and the
Isis people who already infiltrate jordan and influence some people even
in Isrfael, is great... So, we must have some control over the west
bank. That's the Governments argument, but an extreme political party
which is driven by religious ideology tries to influence , by being a
part of this government.
Israel stands_before a terrible dillema: 1. the two state solution,
which many Israelis prefer, including me and my family, raises a danger,
terrible danger of missiles sent into Israel by Hamas powers, and
infiltration of Isis into this territory which puts in dangers
palestinians as well as israelis. We have here a terrible moral dillemma
- it is against our most profound morals, however it clashes with our
need for survival
2. The one state solution, which settlers prefer, Puts us in danger of
demographic change in the future. Puts in danger our cultural values
and also our democratic values.... we do not know towards
which direction the Arab world develops?
_
My own dream for the future is two free states, which completely
recognize eacxh otherf's existence, toghether with the countries
around. with upper institutions of a high court of regional justice, a
religious and ethnic advisory commity , a water authority for the three
nations. amd a work high court of justice for workers of the region who
would work at each other...
But this is a far far aaway dream. I think people in the region have to
grow up..... Yours,
Dr. Hedva Rabinson Bachrach
Israel
But this is a far far away dream

decision to continue the war in Vietnam, the lesson should seem clear. A policy

development cannot be achieved without a dramatic reduction in the levels of
production and consumption, which directly contradicts the growth logic that
drives capitalism.
