Sovereignty = Zionism = Stability
By Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar
Disseminating miracle solutions for complex problems is one of the major problems during the pre-election period. Parties seek to present solutions in slogans of up to four words to be emblazoned on billboards. But the public is smart and understands that complex situations require complex solutions.
These days we are in the midst of a well-financed (it is not yet clear by whom) campaign of intimidation in which former military authorities are seeking to return us to the blueprint of withdrawals and concessions and to instill fear in us from the vision of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria by wielding the sword of demography.
The same self-appointed "experts" are again trying to sell us the "Arab Peace Plan," which includes a complete withdrawal from Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights and establishment of a Palestinian state whose capital is Jerusalem. These former officers conceal the fact that they are left-wingers who, in the past, supported every proposal calling for Israeli withdrawal and capitulation. That was the case in the Gaza Strip, that was the case in Lebanon, and that is what they sought to do in the Golan Heights. We are still today paying the price in blood for the consequences of those initiatives, Hezbollah threats and Hamas rockets.
Despite the respect for their past as officers, these are people lacking historical and political awareness, lacking understanding of the destiny of the Jewish people, and lacking familiarity with the Arab, Middle Eastern mentality according to which the one who capitulates and withdraws invites the next attack until he ultimately surrenders.
One does not need to be a security expert to understand the disaster latent in withdrawal from Judea and Samaria. The objective that the Arab leadership has unceasingly declared is establishment of greater Palestine that stretches from the Mediterranean to the Jordan. Iranian and jihadist forces from all over the world will enter this state that those "experts" are seeking to establish; missiles fired on Ben-Gurion Airport will become a daily occurrence, preventing planes from taking off. Millions of Arabs will stream from Jordan to Judea and Samaria and will create a full-fledged demographic threat, with their ultimate objective being a "return" to Yafo, Ramle, Haifa, and Ashdod. The world will see and will again and again demand more withdrawals in order to appease the angry Arab mob.
All this is before we mention our historical obligation to take possession of the Land of Israel. Jews cannot relinquish Judea! There is no moral validity to our presence in Ramat Aviv if we cede Beit El, Shechem and Hevron to foreign sovereignty.
An Israeli withdrawal from the cultural cradle of the Jewish people and from its heartland will be national suicide. Only total Israeli control and sovereignty in Judea and Samaria will yield security, stability, and a moral-historical basis for our presence here.
For 51 years, we are responsible for the fact that a political question mark hovers over Judea and Samaria. The status quo, which, perhaps, pacifies certain right-wing supporters, does not really exist. Under its auspices, the Palestinian Authority (PA) is building and taking control of lands in Areas A and B, and establishing facts on the ground specifically in Area C. The Jews, in contrast, are paralyzed and subject to a building freeze. If this issue is not resolved soon, no land will remain available to the Jews. A clear Israeli declaration that there is no intention to withdraw, accompanied by actions, will thwart the hopes of the Arab enemy to establish a state on our ruins.
The challenge of sovereignty requires that we soberly address the demographic threat. In that interest, several proposals have been raised, whose purpose is one: A single Jewish State between the Mediterranean and the Jordan, in which there is a solid Jewish majority and an Arab minority loyal to the state. In order to ensure that result, it is possible to proceed in stages:
In the first stage, sovereignty will be applied to the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, with no change in the status of the Arabs. Already at this stage, the insane idea of the establishment of a Palestinian state will be halted. In the second stage, sovereignty will be applied to the territories of Area C, which constitute 60% of Judea and Samaria (with some necessary border adjustments). The approximately 80,000 Arabs residing in those areas will be granted resident status like that enjoyed by the East Jerusalem Arabs. In the third stage, sovereignty will be applied to the rest of Judea and Samaria, and for the Arabs there, municipal autonomy will be established under Israeli sovereignty, which will oversee the school textbooks and maintain exclusive control of security and foreign policy.
We must take an honest look into the future. In 30 years there will be 20 million people west of the Jordan. Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren expect us to conserve the land for them, to provide the option of a comfortable life, with reasonably priced housing, economic prosperity, and security and political stability.
In summary: Between the Mediterranean and the Jordan there is only one national entity – Israel. Our primary commitment is to the Jewish people. The aforementioned steps are gradual; however, it is possible that we will be surprised by foundational historical events as in '48 and '67 when multitudes of Arabs decided to leave. We can also anticipate and must facilitate the aliya of at least another million Jews from the Diaspora. Under those circumstances, the entire balance will change even more – for the best.

Re: Rabbi Meir Kahane In answer to his critics... Terrible stain?

Why don't you forward your letter to AIPAC and Jewish British communities? (Links below)I for part would be grateful not be the recipient of any messages advocating Kahane, Goldstein, Tag Price, and Hill Top Youth.Sorry, violence doesn't turn me on.Thanks!Sent from BlueMailOn Feb 28, 2019, at 3:43 PM, Robin Ticker <faigerayzel@gmail.com> wrote:BsdBefore rushing to conclusions of articles calling Rabbi Kahane and his supporters all kinds of names accusing them of no religion, morals and conscience, why not do some first hand research and listen to what Rabbi Kahane had to say and address each of his points in a civil debate.Please feel free to listen to video clips of his speeches, debates etc found in the online link below. If you have additional video clips proving Kahane wishes to murder innocent Arabs, or whatever to help prove your point that aren't on this list, please send them to me. I have yet to find such a clip.FyiI personally knew Dr. Baruch Goldstein, his parents, his wife and sister. Nice people no different than any of us. American, kind, involved in helping others. Never heard a racist remark from any of them.All I can say is that murdering 29 innocent Arabs praying in a mosque was totally out of character. He was a compassionate doctor and religious.My European parents who visited me in Kiryat Arba, not the Dati Leumi type, also were impressed with the Doctor.Of course I wasn't there and dont know what happened that day in Maarat Hamachpela. None of us were. Only G-d knows the entire picture Bullets were found on the ceiling.All I can say is that there is nothing in the Torah that permits murder.One however is allowed to defend oneself.The Nation of Israel upon leaving Egypt were commanded to conquer the Land of Israel as per the Covenant G-d made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as an everlasting Covenant.We as Jews are commanded to keep the Commandments in the Land and we were warned not to follow the inhumane practices of the 7 Canaanite countries then occupying the Land who sacrificed their children to the Molech (form of idolotry).This idolotrous practice reminds us today of a Palestinian mother's pride of her Jihadi children and the prevalent glorification of Jihad in Palestinian education, culture and society.This glorification of terror, killing innocent Arabs is not what one finds among Settler Youth and their education and what they have been taught by their parents.Some commandments include letting the Land go fallow every 7 years which reminds us who really owns the Land, the Almighty Creator who chooses to whom to give the Land.Wanting a Jewish homeland is as racist as Trump wanting America to stay true to the vision of the founding Fathers of America by vetting illegal Immigrants to make sure that they share such vision basically Judeo Christian morality and ethics. He probably will want to reject those who will undermine America to replace it with their own vision, Sharia for example.Everyone would agree that as the rightful owner of a house, you have a right to keep people in or out.Many Palestinians have claimed ownership of Israel and are dreaming of exercising their right to throw out Jews.The question remains who do you believe is the rightful owner?To justify our Settlement in Israel, we go by The Book, the Torah. Let's add to that, military law, the wars Israel won after being attacked first. Then add to that International Law starting with San Remo Conference giving Jews the rights to settle their historic Biblical Homeland. Let's add the historic vote in 1948 to recognize Israel, the 67 war and the ongoing military threat Israel finds itself surrounded by 22 Muslim countries, often hostile. Based on this, many embrace Otzma Yehudit ideology who supports Rabbi Kahanes vision of defending our rights to the Land of Israel and when necessary transferring out hostile and terror supporting pro Hamas pro Jihad Palestinians out of Israel into the neighboring Muslim COUNTRIES.Kahane was not a racist no different than a home owner is being racist for keeping out hostile elementsDenying Israel the right to defend itself by smearing the name of the IDF is a dream come true for all of Israel enemies.If the world is unhappy with a strong unapologetic Jewish Military that's too bad. It's non negotiable as it should be for self preservation..
