An Alternative to a 'Palestinian' State

At a recent lecture in Los Angeles, I was asked about my alternative to a 'Palestinian State'. The solution that I propose, promotion of Arab emigration, is predicated on the following points:

A. The Land of Israel belongs exclusively to the Jewish Nation.

B. There is no "Palestinian nation" and aspirations for a "Palestinian State" are strictly for Arab propaganda purposes. The Arabs of Israel and their terror organizations are being offered a state on a silver platter – something that has never happened to any other group in history. Nevertheless, they have repeatedly rejected this gift. The reason that they reject this more-than-generous offer is because their real and exclusive goal is not Arab sovereignty, but the destruction of Jewish sovereignty. Thus, any plan that relies on a third side, and particularly on the good will and cooperation of the Arab countries, is unrealistic.

C. The solution for the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza must be based on the facts on the ground and not on the fantasies of Oslo.

There are three facts on the ground that support this position:

  1. I agree with Moshe Feiglin. That has been central to my thinking for a long time and the idea is not a new one. Meir Kahane proposed it decades ago and Israel would be better off paying Arabs to leave. It would solve Israel's demographic problem, give the country secure borders and invigorate Israel's economy by eliminating the very expensive and counterproductive security measures that slow down the country's growth. Its clearly superior to Oslo in every respect. It just hasn't been tried yet. Eliminating the on-going conflict with the Arabs through asserting Jewish national rights proactively over the entire land should be the core principle of Israeli national policy and it should be a non-negotiable one.
