A Petition Against JCall -- Below

The attack against Israel by the Jcall document is inspired by a short-sighted view of the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The signatories of this appeal do not fully understand the global physical and moral threat to which Israel is currently exposed. It is indeed incredible that intelligent and cultivated people like Alain Finkelkraut and Bernard-Henri Levy - instead of dealing with Iran, which will soon keep the world under the threat of the range of its atomic bomb - play with the idea that Benjamin Netanyahu is the true hindrance to peace, and that the essential obstacle to a resolution of the conflict is the attitude of Israel. The intellectuals who have signed the French document ignore history and do not care about the help that the document will give and -- is already giving -- to the delegitimization intended to threaten the life of Israel.

Pushing Israel to concessions without rewards, simply means to surrender the enemy without any guarantee: the unilateral withdrawal from Gaza has produced disastrous consequences, the land from which the Gush Katif inhabitants were forcibly removed by their own Israeli soldiers several years ago has since become a launching pad for missiles and a safe haven for terrorists; Ehud Barak’s concessions in Camp David, designed to give Arafat virtually everything he was asking for, led to the Second Intifada, with its 2,000 people killed by suicide attacks; the evacuation of Southern Lebanon in 2000 only strengthened the Hezbollah, supplied them with 40,000 missiles and led to the 2006 war.
