The future of the Middle East also depends on Israel’s unity
An article in The Jerusalem Post:
My comment:
I fully agree. There is no practicality of a “Palestinian state” for many reasons. Moreover, we already have the historical experience that they do not even want to establish “their own state.”
None of the proponents of the “two-state solution” ever offered an actual, practical plan for a “Palestinian state,” and there is no attractive “role model” in the Middle East to follow either.
As difficult as it is, Israel needs to ignore the pressure from outside and from within, and after this war, the Jewish State needs to declare its governance within borders the Jewish State will decide.
The state and future of the Arab population in this region should be mainly the responsibility of the other Muslim nations that have completely ignored the fate of the “Palestinians” so far.
But in order for Israel to be successful in this regard — and in everything else — the Jewish State needs to keep and further strengthen national unity and mutual responsibility, speaking and acting “as one man with one heart.”
This does not mean dismissing or oppressing vastly different opinions. It means learning to incorporate all differing viewpoints and opinions into a single united vision and practicality. We need to relearn and practice what it means to exist and act through unity and mutual guarantee above and despite our diversity, differences of opinions, and the constantly awakening mutual distrust and animosity within the Nation.
