The
Arab-Palestinians' conflict with Israel is just like the story of the frog and
the scorpion, in which the frog attempted to transfer the scorpion across the
pond but the scorpion could not help itself stinging the frog to death before
arriving to safe land on the other side of the lake. The Arabs are the
scorpion. (http://www.scribd.com/doc/148040789/The-Frog-and-the-Scorpion)
After
the 1967 Six Day War grassroots group of Israeli elite began a discussion about
achieving peace for Israel. This discussion evolved until Israel's leadership
decided that to obtain peace with the Arabs and thus end their hostility she
will take a new approach of appeasement and surrender. That approach gave birth
to the now adverse name Oslo Accords.
Negotiations
concerning the Oslo agreement, an outgrowth of the Madrid Conference of 1991,
were conducted secretly in Oslo Norway hosted by the Fafo institute, and
completed on 20 August 1993. On September 13th 1993, the Accords were
officially signed at a public ceremony in Washington, D.C., in the presence of
PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, the then Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzchak Rabin
and U.S. President Bill Clinton. The documents themselves were signed by
Mahmoud Abbas for the PLO, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres for Israel, U.S.
Secretary of State Warren Christopher for the United States and foreign
minister Andrei Kozyrev for Russia.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Accords)
Much
was said and there is a lot more to be said and will be said about the
notorious and injurious Oslo Accords. I, however, sum it all up with two grand
words, Colossal Disaster for Israel that will not go away. The signing
of the accords can be compared to a building its roof was assembled first while
the foundations were made of silt or humus and thus will not hold the roof
above; accords that were based on odd and irresponsible negotiations Israel
conducted, and still does, with terrorists, but mostly with itself, while the
other side did not and does not comply with even one clause of the agreement
they agreed to and signed on all with impunity. Most important, like in any
agreement there is an exit clause. However, those who concocted the Oslo
Accords did not make sure such clause is part of the agreement. The Arabs did
not adhere to the agreement, in fact they exited it before they entered it,
while, for 20 years, Israel has adhered to it and along this road has lost
enormous amount of political assets and clout.
Since
that day of Clinton's showmanship and Israel's humiliating moment on the White
House lawn, the Oslo Accords entered into the modern state of Israel's history
books, hijacked and is still hijacking its future, security, deterrence and
ability to defend herself.
This
past weekend American Freedom Alliance (AFA)
(http://www.americanfreedomalliance.org) held the Oslo @ Twenty: Costs and
Consequences of the peace process conference,
(http://www.americanfreedomalliance.org/microsite/oslo/index.htm) in which an
international group of pundits discussed the history, outcome and possible
future of these Accords.
All
the speakers agreed that the Oslo Accords has proven to be a total failure.
The
Accords and their signing began with high hopes and as of today they are
nothing more than a wreckage of consequences.
Allow
me take you through the Oslo Accords memory lane:
Twenty
years later this year, we are waking up to reality that has looked into our
faces for twenty years but we refused to hear about it and see it.
The
West and the Arab world have adopted a policy that accommodates ruthless
dictators and rogue and recalcitrant regimes. With such policy they see nothing
wrong negotiating with the terrorist PLO and Fatah organizations and thus push
Israel to adopt their policy.
After
the Oslo Accords were signed, there was some reward for Israel. The Jewish state was recognized by many more
nations and its economy boomed. The Palestinian Authority (PA) also saw
economic boom but there was no political settlement on the conflict issues in
sight.
In
the United States, the mediator of the process, the Oslo Accords is not a sexy
subject; it is an example of American failure no one wants to admit; it is the
liberals' failure they will not admit or talk about because they own so many
other failures they imposed from above without democratic accountability. The
Oslo is still current because liberal Obama follows the failed Oslo process
model.
The
Oslo Accords gave birth to a peace process between the Israelis and the Arabs
[Palestinians]. Many predicted that this peace process will be a trap from
which Israel will be unable to escape. That was accurate. Many now ask why the
peace process failed and why it will not die.
Israel
was naïve to believe the Arabs. The Oslo was a predictable disaster no one
wanted to admit and halt its progress till the signing and even after because
the Left will not admit it was a ruse, no matter how many people lost their
life in this muscles' political game. Ideology of politicians overloaded
reality.
Today
we know that the peace process did not give an incentive for peace, rather
disincentivized peace. It was a tragedy for the Israelis and the PalArabs just
the same. After the Six Day War it was clear that the PalArabs were progressive
and understood democracy and economics. Twenty years later, they became
militant and backward and sadly, it was all by design. The Oslo Accords made it
all clearer that the conflict is all about Israel's existence in any border and
not a territory dispute.
Why
will the Oslo Accords not die? Because enough prestige and ego was invested
into it; it is billions of dollars industry that cannot be axed. Why take sides
between the good and bad guys when there is a peace process that lingers and
serves ends?
One
main reason the Oslo cannot work is Israel's security. An Arab state in Judea
and Samaria is 1000 times fold danger than Hamas in Gaza. It means a total
paralysis of Israel existence.
Another
problematic reason is Islam ideology and until that mindset is changed,
unforeseen anytime soon, the peace process is a process leading to a disaster
and the soonest the Israelis admit and defy it the better. Six million Jews,
now living on a narrow strip of land are the constant victims of an ongoing
massacres and possible genocide by Arabs who are Hitler's ideology heirs; these
Arabs surround the land of Israel and are looking for any angle to complete the
Nazis' Final Solution work.
According
to Islam, the Arabs will never accept a Jewish entity in the Middle East and
thus only Israel's deterrence capabilities and a managed status quo will keep
Israel alive.
By
signing the Oslo Accords, Israel made itself a thief of its own land. Since you
do not negotiate with a thief, the Arabs do not see any reason to negotiate on
any basis other than to have their stolen property returned to them.
The
Oslo Accords require of the Arabs to deliver peace. Since the Arab-Palestinians
do not own peace, they cannot deliver it. The foundations of the Oslo Accords
and peace process are rotten and will not allow to build genuine peace on them.
Israel has been and is the Arabs' greatest excuse to live on the dole. Peace is
not economically beneficial to the Moslems.
The
Oslo Accords shut Israel's self evidencing rights and Israel, at all cost, will
not discuss her rights and admit the void she herself created. In the last
twenty years the PalArabs sucked the blood of every Israeli. It is an amazing
subject, an amazing process that no sane mind can comprehend and yet, it is
still alive and kicking.
The
reason there are still discussions on Oslo today is because the United States
current administration is inclined to negotiate with blood thirsty dictators
and terrorist states, ignoring history of such modus operandi of the past, such
as Neville Chamberlain and Hitler and 75 Million dead people 4 years later
attest to it.
How
do you really define peace for Israel?
It
is a state when the Arabs world is no longer committed to Israel's destruction.
Unfortunately we are far away from such times and the Oslo Accords made it and
will continue making peace go farther. Peace is only in the Arabs' hands to
give and for that they need to change their political culture. Oslo was shoved
onto the Arabs who did not know what it required and how to deliver it and
their leaders made sure they will not be able to deliver peace.
Time
is not on Israel's side. A cohesive and doable right plan must be formulated,
and fast, regardless of Obama and Kerry's current push for ending the conflict,
at any price. Such plan has a chance to save Israel from a disaster.
Intelligence
and politics worked in synergism to fail the peace process. One does not sign
an agreement with terrorist – Arafat - who does not control any nation, any
land, or his mouth. Arafat was the enemy of every value the United States and
Israel stand for?!…yet, he was the one who founded the PA, mismanaged it and
built a corrupt and violent entity. Are these good ingredients and a recipe for
peace? Hardly!
Israel
is the only country in the world that negotiates with terrorists to release
other terrorists and USA administrations, that will not emulate such behavior,
coax, better yet forces Israel to act in such deprave manner. Proven by
International laws, the Oslo peace process is one of the most humiliating,
undermining, subversive, disrespectful course of action Israel was pushed to
succumb to, which no other country in the world would have taken. But all those
countries do expect Israel to take on the challenge they would not as much as
even contemplate.
The
question is why Israelis still buys into the process and Israel's leaders
cannot put their foot on the break and say, Enough is Enough, no matter how
much was invested into it. After all it is a crime against Israel itself, kind
of a slow suicide?
One
other question: if not the Oslo Accords, then what should be? What Israel
wants, what the Arabs want? How can the conflict be solved and end? Here is
what the pundits suggested:
a.
Shape the solution, according to Israel rights to the land; according to the
international law. Create small emirates in Judea and Samaria, based on
separation and rule, each emirate to be ruled by the local Arab-Palestinian
clan. According to such plan, 90% of the Judea and Samaria land will become
part of the state of Israel sovereignty, with 10% of Arab-Palestinian
population left to be living in Israel. A local and traditional rule in each
autonomous emirate, which will create homogenize and stable society offer the
best possibility to have a prosperous economy. Dr. Mordechai Kedar
(http://palestinianemirates.com/)
b.
The Oslo Accords never happened because the Arab-Palestinians did not fulfill
their obligations. Time to link the Arabs to fulfilling their obligations to
the aid they receive. Let us have a real Oslo Accords in which the
Arab-Palestinians get nothing until they fulfill all their obligations, which
will be the real test if they want peace. Morton Klein, Zionist Organization of
America (ZOA), president
c. Annex Judea and Samaria and give the
Arab-Palestinians what is equivalent to American Legal resident status, a Green
Card. If one protests against Israel he/she will automatically lose the green card
status as well as his/her path to citizenship and he/she will be expelled.
Walid Shoebat (http://shoebat.com/)
d.
You cannot divide the Jewish sovereignty; from the River to the Sea sovereignty
must be Jewish in order to remain the nation state of the Jewish people.
Demographic and geographic imparities must be the guiding line. The PalArab
refugee problem must be resolved. First dismantle UNRWA and the refugee status
of 5Million Arab refugees will end and with that billions of dollars will be
saved and the PalArabs living on the dole era will end. This will press the
Arab countries, where Arab "refugees" live, to make them fast become
productive citizens. To those PalArabs living in Judea and Samaria offer
incentives to find home in other countries. All these are non-coercive
solutions. ~ Dr. Martin Sherman (http://www.martinsherman.net/)
e.
Stop American linkage to terror. The conflict will end when Jews stop giving up
their land to the enemy because if they do, the message they convey is clear,
that they do not believe the land is theirs. Israel must end the appeasement
and defund the PA, end the fantasies and delusion. Larry Greenfiled
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Greenfield)
f.
Israel must take a stand. Kenneth Levin, author, The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions
of a People Under Siege
(http://www.amazon.com/The-Oslo-Syndrome-Delusions-People/dp/157525557X)
g.
Israel must assert its rights unabashedly, firmly and without sharing it;
asserts her rights to Judea and Samaria, encourage the breakdown of the falsely
formulated Arab countries, that have no cohesion, to smaller states just as the
breakdown of the USSR transpired. End the 65 years old Arab refugees' issue.
The burden must not be on Israel rather, the Arab world. ~Roberta Seid,
Education/Research Director
for the Israel advocacy organization StandWithUs
h.
There must be a regional solution to the conflict because the PalArabs
counterparts are the Arab World from whom they take, guideline and instructions
for cooperation and orders. Acknowledge and compensate the 900,000 Jewish
refugees from Arab and Moslem countries and end the Arabs getting away with shenanigan
with impunity. ~ Prof. Gil Ribak, the
director of the Institute on American Jewish
– Israeli Relations and an Assistant Professor of Jewish and
Israel Studies at the American Jewish University, Los Angeles.
i.
Privatize the land of Judea and Samaria and based on individual rights premise
the government of Israel needs to pass, Jews can buy land and must be allowed
to live in Judea and Samaria. ~Orit Arfa, Director of
Communications/Visitor Services for the Ariel Development Fund,
Ariel, Samaria, Israel.
j.
The Oslo process is too big to fail. "Where you have a problem that has no
solution you have a condition to manage" Ben Gurion
(http://palestinianworld.blogspot.com/2010/08/famous-quotes-david-ben-gurion.html
) ~ Rick Richman, one of the bloggers at COMMENTARY Magazine's group blog,
"Contentions."
k.
Israel must start, at once, taking her rights to the land seriously and defy
all other claims. ~ The Jewish People's Rights to the Land of Israel, by
Salomon Benzimra (http://www.amazon.com/Jewish-Peoples-Rights-Israel-ebook/dp/B0065WZM14).
~ NG, the writer of this article.
Is it all so very tiring, depressing and
disappointing, as I feel it is, or time to recognize that resourceful and
steadfast people are fighting to win this battle for truth and I need to amass
confidence that they shall preserve; after all, the good guys have HaShem on
their side.
And
while we are still talking about Oslo of 1993 and Oslo of 2013, just another
day in the "peace process"…Fatah's message to Israel during peace
talks: "The blood of Martyrs draws the borders of the homeland"
(http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=9750)
The
time is now to flip the entire moral aspect in favor of Israel.
The
nation of Israel has gone through many miracles; if all Israelis and pro Israel
folks begin telling the truth, with the Almighty's blessing we will have a
better future.
Enough
said, now sanity is required. Every Israel must ask himself/herself, did the
Oslo Process deliver and if it did, what is has delivered? One thing for sure,
war cannot be avoided because you chant the word peace.
