BETWEEN THE LINES
MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT: IT'S ABOUT 'ETHNIC CLEANSING'
Exclusive: Joseph Farah takes State Dept. to task over notion Jews are 'threat to peace'
In the area of international relations, is it “inappropriate” to tell the truth?
Historically, I don’t think so.
But when Benjamin Netanyahu told the absolute, indisputable, provable truth that the Middle East conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority revolves around one party’s commitment to a hardline policy “ethnic cleansing,” he was rebuked by the Obama administration.
“We obviously strongly disagree with the characterization that those who oppose settlement activity or view it as an obstacle to peace are somehow calling for ethnic cleansing of Jews from the West Bank,” U.S. State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau told reporters in Washington.
The controversy arose when Netanyahu said the following: “I’m sure that many of you have heard the claim that Jewish communities in Judea-Samaria – the West Bank – are an obstacle to peace. I’ve always been perplexed by this notion because no one would seriously claim that the nearly 2 million Arabs living inside of Israel, that they’re an obstacle to peace. That’s because they aren’t.”
Netanyahu’s point is simple: Why are thousands of Jews living in “Palestinian” territory a threat to peace, but 2 million Arabs living within the nation-state of Israel not?
Israel offers non-Jews full citizenship within the borders of Israel. Why do “Palestinian” Arab leaders insist that no Jews – none – can live within the borders of their beloved future Palestinian state?
Netanyahu called this precept what it should rightfully be called by any reasonable person:
“Yet the Palestinian leadership actually demands a Palestinian state with one pre-condition: no Jews. There’s a phrase for that: It’s called ethnic cleansing, and this demand is outrageous.”
He’s right. And the reason I know he’s right is because I am the one who first realized this some 12 years ago and put it to words for the first time.
The two central issues inexorably dividing the Israelis and the “Palestinians” are 1) the intractable demand by the latter to create a state that is, as Adolf Hitler would have called it, “Judenrein” – or free of any Jews and 2) the unyielding requirement that, ultimately, the Jewish state be destroyed.
How is that not a prima facie example of “ethnic cleansing” in the extreme?
It’s not just a claim by me or Netanyahu.
It’s an accurate, undeniable demand of the “Palestinian” leadership. And, what’s worse, any leader who backs away from those positions will be ousted or killed by a populace that has been indoctrinated into believing in those positions by their nascent government.
Never have “Palestinian” leaders backed away from their demand that Jews have no right to live in the state those leaders want to create.
Imagine any other national homeland movement suggesting they would not permit any members of a certain ethnic or religious group from living within their borders. How far would they get with such demands?
Yet it is accepted as appropriate, somehow understandable, even reasonable by our State Department, this administration and the world community.
It is not appropriate. It is not acceptable. It is not understandable. It is not reasonable. And more of us need to make this point – boldly, strongly, unrelentingly.
I will not stop.
I’m glad to see Netanyahu making this point over and over, again.
Until people understand it and proclaim it, we will continue to expect “progress” by pursuing the same hopeless course for peace in the Middle East.
It can’t happen while one side calls for “ethnic cleansing” and the destruction of a people.
That’s the fundamental problem we have in the “Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
Do we expect Israel to accept – and even sponsor – a new nation founded on the principle that no Jews can live there?
Is that reasonable?
Should we expect Israel to accept – and even sponsor – a new nation sworn to Israel’s destruction?
Is that reasonable?
