Few of Israel?s planners, including Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Shimon Peres (perpetual loser), former Justice Minister Yossi Beilin (voted out of his own party), America?s President George W. Bush, etc. have contemplated the full, long-term impact of another Arab Palestinian State on the ?other side? of Sharon?s security wall. Allow me to suggest a few things that are likely to happen (not necessarily in order of their occurrence).
Each of the nations who have Arab Palestinians on their territory and have refused them citizenship will eject their ?Palestinians? toward the new Arab State of Palestine. Those nations include Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, and not inclusive of those Arab Palestinians living now in Europe, America and elsewhere. Kuwait and Saudi Arabia already ejected 700,000 Arab/Muslim Palestinians into Jordan after the PLO betrayed their brethren in Kuwait during 1990.
The estimated number of Arab/Muslim Palestinians to be ejected from their current residences in Arab and non-Arab countries ranges from 3 to 5 million - depending upon whose figures you believe. (Note: The neo-State of Palestine would be overcrowded if only 500,000 were allowed to enter.)
It would be highly probable that most new Arab/Muslim Palestinians migrating into this volatile area of the Middle East would be located in tents or shack slums, pressed up close to the Jewish State of Israel, against Sharon?s security wall. There, they will need water, sewage, food and employment, which the U.N. and E.U. will demand that Israel provide. Piling up against the security wall will create a Gaza-like condition, which will have intended political and practical consequences not yet understood by Sharon and his cronies.
There they will squat in misery and squalor, as they have in refugee camps now more than 50 years. They will howl and scream, not against Yasser Arafat (or whomever takes his place), but against the Israelis who will not allow them past the security wall to join their Israeli-Arab brethren. That?s what they?ll say, appealing to the world to pressure Israel into opening the gates.
The virtual "Palestine", City of the Wall, will grow to a typical festering refugee camp, and as in other refugee camps, it will be an incubator for discontented youth, who will join other terrorists freely operating close to Sharon?s security wall/border. As in Gaza, the terrorists of many nations will become operating gangs, recruiting new members, manufacturing missiles, mortars, rockets, explosive devices - with no Israeli troops to interfere or disturb their planning. The removal of Jewish residents and Israeli troops will allow terrorists to form well-organized and efficient armies of conquest-through-terror.
Local Arab/Muslim Palestinians manufacturing weapons will now be free to produce mortars, Kassam rockets, et al, but, once it is no longer necessary to use the Egyptian tunnels in Rafah to smuggle in weapons, then larger weapons can be trucked, shipped or flown in. That means that larger missile launchers and artillery can be imported into the terrorist center of the World - much the same as the 10,000 missile launchers set up by Hezb?Allah in the area of Lebanon after the IDF retreated, under order of then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Launching mortars and missiles over the wall into the densely populated near-by Israeli cities will be too easy.
Any documents promising peace and de-militarization to Israel that are drafted by the Europeans, the Arabist U.S. State Department, or the non-Jewish Leftist Jews mandating a "Weapons-Free Zone" will, as always, be unenforceable - if not comical.
Since the territory abandoned by Sharon will now be free of Israeli patrols or the IDF?s snap raids, the Arab Palestinians can import WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) - including NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical). Hezb?Allah, Al-Qaeda, PFLP, PLO, Tanzim, Al-Aksa Brigades, Hamas, et al., will have no problem in acquiring NBC - WMD from Iran and Syria. Such weapons can easily pass into Arab Palestinian hands - and may already have. Israeli intelligence definitely knows that of the 10,000 missiles on the Lebanese border in the zone abandoned by Barak, a substantial number have chemical warheads.
It is highly probable that the U.N. and the E.U. will be invited by the Palestinian Authority into the new territory to interfere with any reprisal raids against terrorists by Israel. Hot pursuit of terrorists, targeting terrorist leaders, destroying weapons? depots will be difficult, if not impossible, if the U.N./E.U. troops are interspersed among the ?supposedly? civilian population. That could get worse if American troops are added to the so-called "Peace-Keeping Forces" planned by the E.U. through NATO. Be assured that none of these troops would act as Americans are presently doing in Iraq or as Israelis have done to intercept and thwart terrorist plans. Recall that U.N. troops stationed in Lebanon to stop terrorists from attacking Israel became a porous line, often assisting the terrorists up and back after their violent missions.
I would imagine that Sharon will provoke a civil war when he tries to remove what some of the media and world governments pejoratively called "settlements", but are really Jewish communities - villages, towns and cities. It has long been the plan of the Arabist State Department, in collaboration with the Labor Left of Israel, and now even Arik Sharon, to turn over to incoming Arab Palestinians all the farms, homes, factories, wineries, water, sewage systems and electrical grids built by the Jews. This will be claimed compensation for the 400,000 Arabs who fled in 1948 at the behest of the seven Arab armies so they could sweep the Jews from the land into the sea without being impeded by Arab villagers jamming the roads. (As an aside, there is to be no compensation to the some 850,000 Jews who were ejected from the Arab countries where they had lived for centuries, nor will they be recompensed for the properties they were forced to abandon after the seven Arab countries ignominiously lost the first war of 1948.)
Israel (under Sharon) will have also given up the water aquifers under the Judean and Samarian hills that provide Israel with 33% of her fresh water resources. Given the Arab custom of not treating their sewage and allowing it to run down, raw, into the valleys, the aquifers will be contaminated. Any water coming from them would have to be heavily chlorinated and even boiled in order to drink safely. This situation is already occurring in those areas given over to the Arab Palestinian Authority now under Yasser Arafat?s control. Imagine the ground and air pollution when three or more million Arabs are packed up against Sharon?s security wall/border. As an example, the aquifer in Gaza under the control of the PA is now drained so low from excessive pumping that it has been infiltrated with salty sea water. The Arabs call it their "salt tea". Having over-pumped their wells after Israel?s Water Authority turned over water control to the PA, the Arabs then demanded to be connected to Israel?s main water carrier.
Sharon will have given up the Jordan Valley, which was always considered a natural barrier to invasion from Jordan by Arab armies, as well as a natural tank trap. This was confirmed on June 29, 1967, by a once secret advisory by the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff study of what Israel must keep in order for America not to have to rescue her from an attack by any coalition of Arab armies.
Sharon will also be forced to give up water rights to the Jordan River. Sharon will have given up the natural barrier of the Judean and Samarian hills with their steep incline, along with their high positions for artillery and the narrow roads that enemy armies would have to navigate to get to the heart of the Jewish country and Jerusalem.
Sadly Sharon, along with willing Leftist Jews, seems determined to divide Jerusalem and quit claiming Jewish rights to the holy Temple Mount. According to maps and plans developed long ago by Yasser Arafat, Jews will be allowed to approach the Western Wall only with the permission from the Arab Muslim Waqf. The Waqf is the Muslim trust to whom Moshe Dayan gifted the holy Temple Mount of King Solomon after Israel liberated the eastern half of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War. Like most Leftists, he didn?t want observant Jews to have a focal point for their rightful historical and religious claims on Jerusalem. The Left started the Oslo process then, although the real planning and conspiracy by Shimon Peres, Yossi Beilin and Yitzhak Rabin to evict all Jews from the territories began in earnest in the early 1980s.
In effect, under the Sharon/Bush plan, the eternal Jewish capital city of Jerusalem will return to the same state of division as when Jordan illegally occupied it for 19 years. King Hussein destroyed 58 Jewish synagogues, drove out the Jewish residents, and turned the ancient Jewish graveyard on the Mt. of Olives into truck routes, with headstones used as urinal splash plates for Jordanian soldiers.
Yes, indeed, Arik, you will surely leave a legacy that no one will forget.
Having free unimpeded access to Sharon?s wall on their side, there will be little problem for the Arabs to dig down 20 or 30 meters (approximately 60 to 90 feet), as they have done successfully in the tunnels from Egypt, to go under the security wall into Israel?s heartland. They can dig not dozens, but hundreds of such tunnels, which could only be filled on the Israeli side if and when found. I would imagine that terrorist operations would ramp up far more viciously than we have seen even in these past three years.
In addition, they will have assistance from Arab Muslim Palestinians living inside of Israel as citizens (with full civil rights). Once Sharon has shown the yellow feather of fear and retreat, as did Ehud Barak, Israeli Arab citizens will quickly cross over to assist what they consider the likely winner, namely Arafat or his replacement.
Think of Judea and Samaria in terms of a replica of Arafat?s mini-terrorist state, which he created inside Lebanon. No law except terror, a free retreat for every Muslim terrorist to ply his wicked trade - something like the Muslim Jihadists pouring into Iraq through Syria from Egypt, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Chechnya, Yemen, Algeria and even non-Muslim Arabs from France and England. They only will stay long enough to beat or kill enough Americans - if they can - and many will move into the new Arab State of Palestine. But Arafat?s new state will be a permanent base of terror operations against Israel, the Arab nations such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia and then, globally, America and Europe. It will be more than a safe haven for terrorists - it will be their new Terror Mecca, created by Sharon and Bush.
Should Israel feel that she needs to engage in hot pursuit of terrorists or to try to take out missile launchers, be assured the U.N. would vote sanctions as would the E.U., who has been pouring money into Arafat?s pockets and the P.A. - most of it embezzled.
As one looks over Sharon?s wall to a land once brought back to civilization by the Jews, one will soon see a backward conglomeration of a compressed, howling mob of Arab Muslim Palestinians made into useful refugees by Arafat or his replacement. It will be one gigantic pest house of disease and sewage running down the middle of the street, with hostile terrorists always pushing, bombing, sniping, suicide bombing and pressing against or under Sharon?s wall. They will always be in contact with the Arabs living in the heart of Israel, breeding in extraordinary numbers and subsidized by Arab nations for birthing new Arab Muslim Palestinians, much as they were paid by Iran, Syria, Saddam and Saudi Arabia to martyr themselves while killing Jews. The end will be intended to be the same either way - that is, kill Jews with bombs or with babies who are later taught - from the age of three and up - to hate the Jews, kill them when able, and advance toward being a shaheed (martyr for Islam).
Look over your war wall, Arik, and see what you have done. You once had forward vision when you were a general, and you were one of the truest and best warriors for the Jewish State of Israel. Now, you are old and, as happens to old men, you dream of the past when you could think ahead and plan well. Now, you will try to evacuate Jews and give their life?s dreams to the millions of incoming Arabs who will be packed tightly against your wall.
So, now, your legacy is to squeeze Israel behind a walled ghetto, nine miles wide from the sea to its very center. As the millions of Arab Muslim Palestinians are packed into the impossibly small area of Arafat?s State, they will begin to do what the Arabs promised in 1947, namely, to push the Jews into the sea.
This will be your legacy, Arik Sharon, if you continue to assist the creation of another Arab State of Palestine. Be assured, you will have a place in history as a betrayer of the Jewish people and hated for eternity.
