Dear Rochel Sylvetsky and Arutz7 Editors,


Thank you for the clarification.

Rochel, you write regarding a small group of "lawless delinquent" Settler Youth:

"These kids do exist". Pray tell me..Who are these kids and what specifically are their crimes?  How can one accept this blanket statement as fact.  There is no clarity whether they are indeed violent and lawless delinquents and or whether there is more to the story?

Were they or their herd or propery ever threatened or attacked by enemy Arabs who clearly had evil intent, not interested in coexistance? If so were their attackers ever brought to justice or simply released? Were these "lawless" kids perhaps acting in self defense? Did they or their friends experience serious injury or death due to getting attacked by our outside enemies or even needlessly by our own law enforcement.  Were they attacked numerous times and unable to defend themselves and were they ever treated as the aggressor when they were the victims and attacked first?

Were they perhaps recruited or planted by Shabak or provoked to respond in order to catch them on camera to manufacture a false narrative of Settler Violence to serve a political agenda?

Are we really supposed to change their behavior or perhaps we should consider changing the circumstances that triggered such  "lawless" behavior.


The footnote on Jewish Terror did seem out of sync with the article. I didn't initially see the Regavim link until you pointed it out to me but I did appreciate the footnote.  It's not surprising the footnote was an editorial addition rather than coming from the author of the op ed Eliaz Cohen himself. 

 Eliaz Cohen misrepresents himself as a mainstream right wing Settler versed in Torah and Halacha coming from a mainstream Dati Leumi family.  He is actually progressive and leftist.

In the future, I suggest Arutz7 independently present the Settler side with clarity. For example, a clear statement like "Here is a link to the Regavim report—128 pages long addressing the false narrative of settler violence a modern day blood libel". This would provide readers with a balance and a better sense of the full story. 

Eliaz Cohen op ed author is ideologically at odds with the Settler Youth and libels them as "lawless delinquents'. That is logical based on his ideology. Yet he provides no clear evidence and examples in his Op Ed of such "lawless behavior".

Do we need to accept this assessment as a given? 

Fyi

A lesson from the Duma arson.

Shemittah Rediscovered: Duma Blood Libel calling Hilltop Youth Jewish Terrorists. Yesterday Tue. Jan 12, 2016 New York Times Print Edition, Front Page blurb to article on page A9, Front cover Forward January 15, 2016 

As we saw from the Duma Arson blood libel, even suggesting that a small group of "delinquent" settlers exists, feeds a blood libel and a broader false narrative that then reflects badly globally on all Settlers and the community that raised and nurtured them. 

See above link. Here are some excerpts. Note Naftali Bennett op ed in the New York Times was published August 7th 2015 a mere week following the Duma arson when there was no real evidence that the perpetrators were Jewish other than the say so of Shabak and the Jewish Division of Terror. Until today there is no concrete evidence that the perpetrators were Jewish and there is good reason to believe they were Arab from a rival Duma clan. Unfortunately, the Arabs from  rival clans were never investigated since Hebrew Graffiti was found at the scene saying נקמה and יחי המלך🤔 as if only Jews can scribble graffiti.


The sad part is that fellow Jews are responsible for feeding this blood libel.  

Our enemies can invent a blood libel without us.  Do we really have to provide them the material? 

NEW YORK TIMES JAN. 11, 2016

Israel Faces New Brand of Terrorism, This Time From Young Settlers

Please note the photograph below that accompanied the New York Times article page A9. It is basically a photograph, taken in a Beis Medrash,  with Jewish youth with Peyos and Tefillin,  learning. 

The article states "These kids are the latest manifestation of Jewish terrorists, part of a terrorist network, charged with grave crimes".  

A blood libel doesn't happen in a vacuum. Please note the escalations of how this story developed.  In August 7, 2015,  Naftali Bennett's wrote an OP Ed article for the New York Times (why did Bennett have to publish accusations that were never proven, against the hilltop youth in an OP ED in the New York Times of all places????)  where he called these Jewish terrorists a small minority fringe group.  Now in this printed article  of Jan 12, 2016 they morphed into  "a manifestation of Jewish terrorists part of a Jewish Terror Network"  and are not portrayed in this picture with straggly messy payis on a hilltop, as a fringe wild group but rather sitting nicely like Yeshiva students, learning in a typical Beis Medrash with large Yarmulkas and Tzitzis and Peyis and Seforim. Yet we are told they are Jewish terrorists.


Baseless condemnations on Jewish Settler Youth led to administrative detentions and the use of extraordinary measures, including torture, against innocent young people like Elisha Odess and Amiram Ben Uliel who was then convicted purlely based on self confession following torture and still languishing in jail today, over 10 years later. Most of the time he spent in jail was in  solitary, convicted of 3 life sentences.  

Defending these "lawless" delinquents asking hard questions is not putting our head in sand. Quite the opposite. It is taking our head out of the sand. 


Sincerely,

Robin Ticker

He has leftist tendencies, but putting our head in the sand doesn't help.

I have posted articles criticizing the vilification of residents and I post Abelow a good deal. Maybe I will post Tobin on the subject.

Oy Vey. Why did Arutz7  publish this article both in Hebrew and English by Eliaz Cohen a leftist pushing Coexisting with Palestinians while slandering Settler Youth as lawless?

זו דרכה של ההתיישבות

Translated by Rochel Sylvetsky
Re: National News Opeds
A strange, Aberrant Fire by Eliaz Cohen

On some of the hills in Judea and Samaria, there are those who wish to redeem the Land of Israel by lawless means. And we who love the land must stop them now. Opinion.



Arutz7 does a disservice with publishing Op Eds such articles putting a false narrative of "Violent Settlers" as perpetrators of lawless, random unjustified price tag attacks against Arabs without context when it is documented that these kids have been targeted and framed to create a false narrative of "Settler Violence".

There is a void of fair and balanced reporting of the triggers that justify responding in kind. 

While it is justified to fight our enemies be it Hamas, Hezbollah, Houti's, ISIS, etc in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran the reality in Judea and Samaria is different . It is apparently considered "lawless"  in Judea and Samaria to defend oneself and fight against the local Jihadist Arabs who threaten and are no different and share the same hatred as their brothers in arms on Israel's border

There have been numerous recent attacks against the Settlers and their flocks in Judea and Samaria by hostile Arabs with fatalities and close calls and they have defended themselves with and withoue the IDF involved only to be condemned and slandered as lawless.

Why Do We Succeed Against Our Enemies Abroad But Struggle to Protect at Home? By Avi Abelow

As Israel demonstrates extraordinary military capability against distant threats, whether striking targets in Iran or confronting Hezbollah in Lebanon, there is a troubling reality much closer to home. In Judea and Samaria, Jews continue to face repeated terror attacks, and too often, the response from the IDF feels inconsistent and insufficient.

Why is there such a gap?

Because, officially, in Judea and Samaria, there is no clearly defined enemy, only a population we are expected to coexist with.

Unfortunately, there is much hesitation, within public discourse, media narratives, and even elements of leadership, political and Rabbinic, to clearly define the whole jihadi population in Judea and Samaria who self-identity as "palestinians" as an enemy.

Without that clarity, security policy becomes reactive rather than strategic. Arab Muslim Parents in Judea and Samaria literally send their kids to schools that teach them to kill Jews and destroy Israel (yes, that is the official curriculum of the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA textbooks) yet official Israel, and our own organizational and Rabbinic leaders, still won't call the jihadi population in Judea and Samaria an enemy? Polls showed how they celebrated the Oct. 7th massacre, yet they are still defined as a population the IDF is supposed to allow for coexistence with and not as an enemy to be totally stopped?

Instead, we are fed headline news of "settler violence" where in most cases it is Jews who are punished for trying to stop the jihadis, as the IDF is not given the clear orders needed to act decisively and protect our lives.

Recent events highlight this problem.

Just a few days ago, near Efrat, a group of young pioneers established a new farm called Kochav Yehuda. Its purpose was simple and strategic: to connect Efrat to Tekoa and stop the ongoing Arab illegal land grab in the area.

For years, Arabs had been building illegally on that area. Finally, our youth decided to act and protect our communities. The Border Police were then sent in to evacuate the Jewish youth at Kochav Yehuda. As the evacuation took place, Arabs from the surrounding villages celebrated, cheering as Israeli forces removed Jews trying to stop their illegal takeover of the land.

Hours later, once the IDF and Border Police had left, those same Arabs turned around and stoned the Jewish residents.

This is the upside-down reality we are living with in Judea and Samaria.
The army is used to remove Jews from their ancestral land, while the real land-grabbers and terrorists are allowed to celebrate, and then attack with impunity.

Fortunately, no one was injured because an Efrat resident who was armed fired warning shots into the air and then toward one of the rock throwers, killing him, helping stop the mob attack. No arrests were made among those jihadis who carried out the assault, while the Jewish individual who acted to protect lives was taken into custody.

If that is not shocking enough, another incident just took place in the Shomron near the Arab village of Taasir, where the outcome was far more serious.

A Jewish teenager was critically wounded after a rock was thrown at his head at close range. A soldier at the scene acted quickly, neutralizing the attacker and likely saving the boy’s life.

These incidents did not occur in isolation.

Just over a week ago, the IDF Chief of Staff made an extremely bad move, removing Battalion 941 of Netzach Yehuda for "improperly" dealing with a CNN journalist who came to provoke the soldiers as they were dealing with the jihadi terrorists.

The enemy understood the message very well, our own soldiers did not have the backing of the Chief of Staff, so our jihadi enemy escalated their terror against the Jews in the area, and this youth  paid the price for it literally with his blood.

This raises a difficult but necessary question: what message is being communicated, to the Jews and to the jihadi terrorists carrying out the attacks?

In a region as volatile as this one, perceptions matter. When IDF responses appear inconsistent, punishing IDF soldiers, evacuating Jews from strategic points, while the terror of an enemy is not dealt with and definitely not deterred, that directly empowers our enemy to continue terrorizing us.

This is not simply a question of security tactics. It is about clarity, moral, strategic, and operational.

Israel has shown that it can act decisively when confronting the Islamic regime of Iran and its proxies in the region, clearly identifying them as enemies that must be stopped. 

So the question must be asked: when will Israel finally apply that same clarity and resolve to the Palestinian Authority, which pays salaries to terrorists in its jails, and to the jihadi population in Judea and Samaria that educates its children to murder us? They are an enemy that must be stopped. Period.

This enemy is not thousands of miles away in Tehran. They live right here, in our biblical heartland, living among us and threatening our lives every single day. Yet, they have yet to be defined as an emeny despite their daily efforts to kill us.

The self-identiying "palestinians" are modern-day Amalek, acting for decades with the exact same brutality as their biblical predecessors, deliberately targeting the young, the old, the innocent, and the defenseless.

It is not moral to refrain from calling them the enemy and to try to coexist with them, it is immoral. 

Because by refusing to name them for what they are, we enable the continuation of their terror, guaranteeing that more Jewish lives will be taken.

It’s time to protect our people from the jihadi Arabs who live next to us with the same determination we show against distant threats.

Without clarity in finally identitying the whole jihadi population of self-identifying "palestinans" who support killing Jews and destroying Israel, as an enemy, there can be no consistent IDF policy.

And without consistency and moral clarity, despite the important work our soldiers are doing in Judea and Samaria, and I'm one of those soldiers, the army from the top will continue its confusing and self-defeating activities in Judea and Samaria, actions that repeatedly empower our jihadi enemies, embolden them to keep terrorizing us, and ultimately cost more Jewish lives.

We cannot defeat an enemy we refuse to name and whose ideology we are afraid to confront.

I’m not worried about the rebuilding of Kochav Yehuda and the other outposts and farms in Judea and Samaria.

Thanks to the unbelievable strength and resilience of our younger generation, they will keep returning to rebuild, despite the constant terror threats from the surrounding jihadi population and even after being repeatedly evacuated by the IDF. They will continue strengthening our strategic presence to protect Jewish communities across the biblical heartland, and they will succeed in creating that vital corridor connecting Efrat to Tekoa.

The real problem is: How many more Jews will be terrorized, wounded, or murdered in the process because our political, Rabbinic and military leaders still refuse to treat the jihadi population who self-identity as "palestinians" in Judea and Samaria, Gaza and the Palestinian Authority that pays them and educates them, as the enemy they truly are?

It is up to us to start naming them as an enemy to bring about the change to protect our lives. Jihadi Muslims who support killing Jews and destroying the state of Israel are an enemy. And then, we implement Trump's emigration plan...

Advancing a False narrative of "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence".
Israel Breaking News:
"Amid a rise in attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank in recent months, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says troops must not "stand by." "Alongside determined fighting against terrorism and strengthening security and Jewish settlement, we are required to strictly uphold law and order and to prevent crime of all kinds, including nationalist crime. These do not strengthen security; they harm the settlement [movement], the IDF, and the State of Israel," Zamir says at a handover ceremony for the chief of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, known as COGAT. "IDF commanders and soldiers, as well as the other security organizations, have both an operational and moral duty to act immediately and not stand by when they detect illegal acts by violent groups, and to protect uninvolved civilian populations," he says. Zamir says incoming COGAT chief Maj. Gen. Yoram Halevi, together with the IDF Central Command, Israel Police, and Shin Bet, "bear from this moment the command responsibility to warn and act to prevent this phenomenon without fear." "I am confident that your experience will assist in this," he adds.

My Comments:
Unfortunately IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir advanced the false narrative of "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence". This seems to be a recurring phenomenon prior to Prime Minister Netanyahu's trip to Washington DC.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is acting against Israel's Security interests by by actually putting Settlers in a negative light.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir should  be smart and defend the Hilltop Settlers and even advocate to free Amiram ben Uliel who was convicted of torching an Arab family. This conviction was totally based on self confession following torture with no collaborating supporting evidence of Amiram responsible of the arson.

Defending and speaking up in  support of Jewish Settlers is also a smart military strategy and does not require shooting a bullet.

It is the best way to demoralize our enemies and use their own psychological weapons to fight.

 Israel is in a territorial war.

Hamas can not compete with Israel's military strength.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir does not openly publicly "approve" nor stand up for Settler shepherds, often unarmed Hilltop Youths, and farmers who are trying to defend and protect our land.  The Settler modus operandi is quite different than the IDF's, albeit effective especially when partnering together with the IDF.

Unfortunately, Gen. Eyal Zamir is literally playing into the hands of our enemies when he openly suggests there are "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers". 

This is similar to what Naftali Bennett did, who in the New York Times in 2015, one week after the Duma arson, with no investigation to speak of, condemned "fringe extremist Jewish Settlers" as being the perpetrators of the Duma Arson based on the say so of Shabak.

In Duma, there was no evidence whatsoever of Jewish perpetrators other than Hebrew graffiti on the scene which probably framed Jews as perpetrators. 

Advancing the false "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence" narrative is unfortunately politically rewarding on an International stage. 

Former President Biden as well had nothing better to focus on than a few "Extremist Jewish Settlers" to sanction by Executive order. He was President of the US yet this was what he was busy with?

Apparently our enemies see "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" as their greatest threat.

Are these shepherds and farmers and unarmed kids far more threatening than the IDF with all its military strength?

Our enemies fight with psychological weapons. Israel is stronger militarily but this  hasn't won us the war. Perhaps it is because Israel fails to confront, acknowledge and fight for our religious Biblical ideological root justification of this conflict.

Our Jewish Settlers by their very essence are fighting the enemy on our enemies' terms while the IDF unfortunately is not. Therefore these "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" apparently ARE more dangerous from  our enemies perspective.

Our enemies only need to show to the world moral equivalency... that there are "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" when it is very obvious to all, that there are Extremist Violent Hamas. 

From the enemies perspective, Israel must not be handed the higher upper moral ground. That is why a statement by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal  Zamir even suggesting there are 'Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" is problematic and playing into their psychological warfare. 

The "Settlers" are portrayed in the eyes of the world, as equivalent to Hamas because we Jews say so ourselves.  This "fringe" group then becomes a fraudulent reflection on all  "Settlers", and a reflection on the Settlement community, and a reflection of  Israeli society who nurtured them. From there the blood libel grows to be a negative reflection on the IDF and reflects negatively on the Israel's Defense Forces.  

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir can then be libeled as well as being a "Genocidal" Chief of Staff of the IDF for defending Israel, no different than these "Extremist Israeli Settlers". 

We saw the great lengths the System took to condemn and convict Amiram ben Uliel with a false narrative which was then magnified as Amiram portrayed as being a ticking time bomb and then with Amiram punished beyond his conviction,  placing him under extreme isolation far worse than convicted Jihadists.

Distancing oneself from "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" actually backfires. This is often the case of  Israeli politicians and Right Wing Jewish leaders dependent on political power and or funding.

Zamir's declaration of "Extremist Settler Violence" is the prize our enemies desperately want in order to give Hamas and the PA legitimacy. Zamir foolishly handed our enemies the psychological moral high ground that enables Hamas and Abbas to survive and gives Hamas legitimacy so long as " Violent Extremist Jewish Settlers"  exist. 

But the real reason to defend the Jewish Hilltop Settlers is not the above but rather because these sacrificing Settlers' ideology accurately reflects true Torah values. 

When grass roots Jews, Hamonei Am, Secular, Religious, Dati, Chiloni, Chareidi Jews unite to yearn for Eretz Yisroel, determined to fight for and Settle in Eretz Yisroel, keeping G-d's Commandments and  do so out of simple faith and Love of G-d, no different than the Jews leaving Egypt, we will merit as a Nation to witness great miracles. We will see our enemies crushed and defeated, and G-d's Greatness acknowledged by our enemies. 

May the time come very speedily soon. AMEN Ken Yehi Ratzon!

Re:AFJS Spreading a False Narrative of the Pioneer Settler Youth. It Is Essential That YOU Know This About Judea and Samaria

Bsd

Dear AFJS,

With friends like these who needs enemies.

It's essential that you know about the Settler Youth and the ongoing smear campaign against them and persecution they endure and the terrible denial of basic human rights to a democratic and fair trial with civil rights.  Until recently, the courts  held them under administrative detention even with no evidence of wrongdoings.  Thank G-d they can't do that anymore and they were all released because there was no evidence against them.

Why did you repeat the lies of the IDF spokesperson who lied on Shabbat  to smear these kids even though the truth came out within hours after Shabbat  with videos proving their innocence and exposing the lies?

In this particular case there was no evidence that Jewish men, namely Settler Youth attacked IDF soldiers. The judge after viewing the videos, determined that the worst thing they did was insult the IDF.  The opposite in fact was the case. The IDF fired LIVE bullets at these kids when they weren't resisting and seriously wounded one of them and even arrested the medic of the wounded kid 14 years old. 

Your attempt to be politically correct backfired big time as did the attempt by the political forces at large to smear these Settlers kids. It is no coincidence that all this happened  on the eve of a "historic peace deal" on a Shabbat that will probably cave into  demands  in return for dog bones and keep our enemies empowered against the Settlers in Judea and Samaria.

Fyi Here are some links to reports of an accurate accounting of what transpired.

Binyamin Region Shooting: No charges for assault suspects

Those responsible for  shooting live bullets at these idealistic kids who were protecting the hilltop, seriously injuring a 14 year old kid, is still being investigated a week later. Will truth and Justice come out?

_Justin Hilton has the full breakdown._

Naomi Kahn, Regavim: The Truth About "Settler Violence"

 Naomi Kahn points out that statistically Settlers have the lowest crime rate in the country.

Naomi Kahn unfortunately doesn't mention that Shabak agents are planted in Settler communities to provoke and commit Settler Crimes 😒 She didn't suggest here that the false narrative is to create moral equivalency to further peace deals etc. but she has on other occasions. 

She pointed out Bennett's betrayal under the Biden administration. 

In 2015 Naftali Bennett betrayed the Settlers Youth as well by basically holding them accountable of the Duma arson, in the New York Times of all places, calling them a fringe group, one week after the Duma arson with no investigation to speak on the say so of Shabak and Hebrew Graffiti found at the scene. Bennett continues to  further this false Settler Violence narrative. What does he gain politically or monetarily by smearing the Settler youth🤷🏻‍♀️?

Campaign to Divide and Conquer Yesha. Duma Suspects get Guilty Verdict! Condemned in the Media. Verdict is decided before the Trial has begun...
https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2016/01/campaign-to-divide-and-conquer-yesha.html it wasn't only Bennett. Why did so many higher ups in the GOI and rightbwingers join the bandwagon to condemn the Settler Youth. Who and what was behind it. Clearly a political agenda.

AfJS continues this terrible injustice to the Hilltop Youth and by extension to Judea and Samaria.

Time to free Amiram Ben Uliel for his false conviction and imprisonment of the  Duma arson based solely on self confession following torture almost 10 years now. Is this Democracy at its best?

If you want to find out about the wedding where the guests allegedly danced happily stabbing  the picture of murdered baby Ali Dawabashe, interview Lenny Goldberg. It might have been at one of his kids weddings if I am not mistaken. This false news piece fooled Caroline Glick. I think she did apologize or retract at some point. Goldberg believes that Shabak set up the scene at the wedding to frame and  smear the Settlers to push the blame of the Duma arson on the Settlers.

Caroline Glick, like some good Rabbis, were also fooled like AFJS by believing Shabak. She has since retracted.

The only way to fight our enemies is by invalidating Shabak Jewish Division of Terror validating the Settlers and the Hilltop Youth and putting the Settler Youth in a positive light. Not only will it right a wrong, bring Truth and Justice and end the smear campaign but it will empower Israel because by doing so we will fight the root of the war.

This is an ideological war. The biggest threat to Iran and the PA and Hamas etc is not the B-2 bombers dropping on Iran. 
It's  rather those stubborn Hilltop Settlers who claim this is our Biblical, Ancestral Homeland. Biden whose close advisors were painting a false narrative against these Settlers in his brain, was obsessed with Settler Violence that is non-existent . Before every peace deal there is an attempt to discredit the Settlers and the smear campaign goes into high gear.

If however, we validate and support the struggle of the Settler Youth for the Land of Israel and we Free Amiram Ben Uliel it will be much more effective than merely a military victory that is then undermined with some Peace deal that releases terrorist and keeps the terrorists alive until the next opportunity.


You guys better start  working on behalf of Judea and Samaria and  demand the IDF does a better job to protect the residents of Judea and Samaria who are under constant attack. Refer to the 120 page paper of Regavim.

Sincerely,

Robin Ticker

Dear friends in Israel and around the world,

Last week some serious incidents occurred in which young Jewish men attacked IDF soldiers in the Binyamin region and vandalized military equipment.

We would like to express our very clear and strong position on these incidents: These are serious acts that are not representative of the residents of Judea and Samaria. Soldiers of the IDF and security forces are our children and our brothers; they risk their lives for Eretz Yisrael and the Jewish people. Any attack on them is a defilement of Jewish values and of all community efforts to develop and work the land.

We, the friends of Judea and Samaria from around the world, stand by the residents of Judea and Samaria in support of our heroic soldiers of the IDF, who have the merit to safeguard the biblical and historical homeland of the Jewish people.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Maariv article of Aryeh Eldad translated by Sovereignty Movement entitled “Every Day that Passes without Continued Action Weakens Israel"

Bsd


"Every Day that Passes without Continued Action Weakens Israel"

 

The application of sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and taking control of the Gaza Strip will remove the Palestinian sword from our neck, but to do this, we must first weed out those who are responsible for the failure"

 

Aryeh Eldad | Ma'ariv

Translated into English as a public service by the Sovereignty Movement

 

For many years, too many years, Israel has avoided a strategic resolution of the Palestinian issue. Peace agreements with Egypt included – in keeping with the Egyptian demand – an attempt to solve "the conflict" in the framework of "discussions on autonomy", which quickly led to a dead end. There are those who say that Menahem Begin understood the great danger of such autonomy, and quashed the discussions.

 

The Oslo Accords, which were another attempt to reach a solution, ended in a terrible bloodbath. More than 1,500 Jews were murdered as a result of bringing Yassir Arafat into the country and establishing the PA. The majority of the Israeli public became clear opponents of establishing a Palestinian state following the second intifada, but Benjamin Netanyahu, Arik Sharon, Ehud Olmert and Naftali Bennett, even when they had endless opportunities to do so – refrained from dismantling the PA.

 

Sharon's attempt to come to a unilateral resolution with the "Disengagement", created a dangerous terror realm that we have find difficult to defeat. We consumed its rotten fruits on October 7.  The illusion that we would be able to keep the terror burning on a low flame for years, continue to manage the conflict without resolution and ignore it – also collapsed in the Simchat Torah massacre.

 

It was not laziness or lack of imagination that prevented Israel from a clear resolution. On one hand – it is clear to the most Israelis and their representatives in the national camp that establishing a Palestinian state in the territories of Judea and Samaria or even in parts of it, will present an existential danger to the state of Israel. Most Israelis understand that beyond the border of that state will not be a peace-loving neighbor seeking co-existence, but one that strives – and even declares this openly – to destroy us.

 

All those in Western cities and their universities these days, screaming "From the river to the sea – Palestine will be free" are actually echoing the Hamas Charter. 75% of the Arabs of Judea and Samaria support Hamas and its acts on October 7. Therefore, the establishment and recognition of a Palestinian state – the "two-states" idea held by the U.S. and most of Europe – is not at all an option for Israel. 

 

On the other hand, resolution in the other direction: the application of Israeli sovereignty over the territories of Judea and Samaria, can be expected to encounter vigorous opposition from most of the world's countries. Fear of this opposition and its ramifications (for instance, crippling sanctions) have caused Israeli governments over the years to vacillate between the two alternatives of "on one hand" and "on the other hand", and to hope that we would succeed to manage the conflict without resolving it. 

 

But ironically, it was the severe blow that we received on the 7th of October brought back the demand to establish and recognize a Palestinian state to the international discussion table. Not despite the savage atrocities of Hamas – but because of them. The world respects those who are strong and victorious. At first, everyone was "on our side" and expected the destruction of Hamas. When this failed to materialize, the Western world understood that Israel is not succeeding to achieve the goals of its war. 

 

And just as, 90 years ago, they tried to placate Adolf Hitler by sacrificing Czechoslovakia – they are now trying to pacify Palestinian terror and its Iranian masters. It is not the tens of thousands of Gazans that were killed that bothers them, but the lack of military victory and the fear of regional conflagration. If we had had a quick victory – they would have applauded us. But now, several European countries are promising to recognize a Palestinian state.

 

Therefore, strategic victory is vital. Here and now.

###

The application of Israeli sovereignty over the territories of the Land of Israel west of the Jordan is the only strategic resolution that will remove the Palestinian sword from our neck – but it will not end the conflict. The war between us and them is a religious war, and as such, is liable to continue many hundreds of years. Terror will not disappear, but such sovereignty will remove the existential danger  looming over our longest  land-border. Then entire Land could become like the Gaza envelope on the morning of October 7th if we do not maintain an army of tens of thousands permanently, for the entire length of the border, because if, Heaven forbid, such a sovereign "state" is established, we would not have the ability to enter its territory every night, to carry out a raid in Jenin, Nablus or Tul Karem in order to "mow the grass".

 

Many of those who oppose applying Israeli sovereignty (as we applied in Jerusalem of the Golan Heights) claim that we cannot bear the burden of welfare and education and healthcare and infrastructure for millions of hostile Arabs. Various research has shown that during the period that we ruled the entire area (from the Six Day War until the Oslo Accords), the economic burden was negligible compared with the amount of money that Israel has invested in the war on terror in the area of the PA and by entrenching ourselves behind all sorts of walls and other barriers.

 

Others attribute their opposition to not wanting "to hold a foreign people under occupation". This claim ignores, of course, that the People of Israel cannot be an occupier in its own homeland, as well as the possibility of having a municipal autonomy, as were established in Judea and Samaria before we lost our minds and made Arafat their king.

 

Even in the first government meeting dealing with the fate of "the territories" in June of 1967, Menahem Begin cautioned that "Autonomy inevitably leads to statehood" – and despite this, he did not constrain himself from committing to autonomy in the framework of the Camp David Peace Agreements with Egypt. On this issue, it should be made clear that autonomy, which derives its authority from the mother-country (like the Basque autonomy in Spain) is not dangerous, because Spain can prevent the Basques from establishing an army any time they want, for example.

 

In contrast, autonomy that derives its authority external to the mother-state, for example, an international agreement with external guarantors, becomes an entity that Israel would have no control over. For example, the Palestinian "autonomy" that was established following the Oslo Accords, which derives its authorities from the agreement. And even if there are restrictions – Israel would not be able to prevent the Palestinian educational system  from becoming a production line for terrorists and its security mechanisms into terror organizations.

To reach the strategic resolution that we require, Israel must pass through several phases before the application of sovereignty: total victory over Hamas, controlling the entire Gaza Strip, everything included – and disconnecting from Egypt by controlling the Philadelphia Strip – these are the necessary conditions. And every day without achieving this goal weakens Israel extremely, and strengthens those who demand the establishment of a Palestinian state. A war with Hizb'Allah will be required if we want to stop Iran at the border of Lebanon and not over the skies of Tel Aviv.

 

In order to achieve these security goals a comprehensive reform of the IDF, the Shin Bet and the Mossad is required. It is not reasonable for the chief of staff who was in office during the October 7th debacle to appoint the generals of the next General Staff, without the civilian systems having the opportunity to weed out the advocates of the failed concept. I read that the Chief of Staff wants to appoint Brig. Gen. Shlomi Binder to be the next head of Intelligence. Binder is an excellent officer – we have very few like him. But he was head of the head of the Operations Division of the General Staff, therefore, he also has some responsibility for the failure of operations on the 7th of October.

 

On the other hand, I have read that Netanyahu wants the next head of intelligence to be Major General Eliezer Toledano, an excellent officer and a hero, who was his military secretary – and therefore, tainted by politics – and he was also a commander of the Southern Command, and a full partner to the concept.

 

Which is better? Which of them is still tied to the concept? I don't know. It could be that they are both very suitable. But since, as I understand it, the next Chief of Staff must not be a clone of the present chief of staff, and Netanyahu, a senior partner of the debacle, has already proven himself as one who does not know how to choose suitable candidates – Israel must invent a new mechanism as quickly as possible: The chief of staff will make a recommendation, the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee will conduct an in-depth hearing behind closed doors and will, by secret vote, approve or disapprove a candidate.

These are all necessary, but not sufficient, conditions. In order to arrive at strategic resolution of the kind that we require – there must be a leader who wants it and is capable of doing it. Netanyahu is not that person.
