Feiglin: Netanyahu's Two State Proposal Hijacks
Nationalist Votes that Elected Him
13 Tamuz, 5769 (July 5, '09)
In response to PM Netanyahu's statement that there is a national consensus in favor of his two state proposal, Moshe Feiglin points out that Netanyahu was elected with the votes of the national camp that favors one Jewish state. His proposal does not reflect national consensus, but rather hijacks the votes of the national camp and applies them to leftist policies.
PM Netanyahu's remarks on national consensus on "two states for two peoples"
concept
Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA 5 July 2009
It should be noted that the opening remarks appearing below are prepared
remarks and thus the wording is worthy of attention.
Of particular interest is the use of the phrase "that also includes"
("shekolelim gam") instead of just "that includes" ("shekolelim") in the
sentence "defensible borders that also include full demilitarization of the
Palestinian territory
The addition of the word also ("gam") is critical because it means that the
borders, in and of themselves, must be defensible - without relying on
demilitarization of the Palestinian territory.
Consider how this applies to the Jerusalem area: Without the "gam", one
could conceivably argue that a patchwork allocation of sovereignties would
be acceptable since the Palestinians would be demilitarized. With the "gam"
such an arrangement is out of the question.
--------------------------------------
"We attained national consensus over the concept of "two states for two
peoples", and the lines of agreement are first of all that the Palestinians
must recognize the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish People and
that also means that the problem of the refugees will be resolved outside of
the State of Israel and that Israel needs and will receive defensible
borders that also includes full demilitarization of the Palestinian
territory. The development of the national consensus around these
principles is the most important expression of the unity government"

Bibi's a follower, not a leader. All you in Likud must realize that you're supporting a very dangerous man.
ReplyDeleteWhether he meets our approval is a different thing.However Netanyahu leads at this time in a party that has committed itself to participate in the affairs of Medinat Yisrael beyond generating newspaper headlines of entertaining but empty gestures or kefiyah clad posters. The leadership crisis in the Orange camp did not begin with Moetzet Yesha, as we spoke about recently, but with the very concept of there being a separate sector. The battle for Eretz Yisrael still remains to be fought primarily in the Likud at this time and the political arena in general. That's where the action was, and is. Sometimes they build, sometimes the opposite. Your choice whether and which you want, and sitting it out is also a choice.
