This past week, the prime minister of the pseudo-Palestinian-Arab entity* announced that if Israel unilaterally disengaged from them, he would seek a bi-national state in all of the land of Israel.
Ahmed Qurei, a.k.a. Abu Ala (why is it these guys always have two names ? are they trying to hide something?), threatened that he would seek a single-state solution, whereby all the land and all the people would become one country ? Israel. He would then demand for his followers the same rights as Israelis. So, in the tradition of that great Jewish scientist, Albert Einstein, I decided to conduct a thought experiment ? something Mr. Qurei should have done before making his latest pronouncement and thus giving the world further fodder for ridicule.
Okay, here goes:
The Arabs now occupying Judea, Samaria and Gaza are suddenly Israeli citizens. That means that all the Hamas, Al-Aqsa, and other terrorist members and leadership are now Israelis and must serve in the Israeli army. This means they will wear a Jewish Star on their uniforms, since the Israeli flag has a Jewish Star on it. I love the image of Mr. Rantisi & Co. marching around wearing Mogen Davids and defending Israel?s right to exist against enemy attacks from, say, Hizbollah operating out of Lebanon. I especially love the image of him and his cohorts fighting to defend Israeli citizens against attacks from his former fellow foreign conspirators.
Meanwhile, the whole pseudo-Palestinian-Arab society will be undergoing reality shock. An entire generation of Arabs has been taught that there is no such country as Israel. Imagine their surprise to find themselves suddenly living in a country they thought was a fantasy. How is their leadership going to explain that they have been systematically lied to for decades? I can?t wait to see them rationalize away this one.
Then there?s the United Nations. The Muslim-controlled UN has been sniping at, and mandating against, Israel for as long as Israel has existed. The so-called ?Palestinian observers? to the UN have really been full-time anti-Semitic lobbyists. But if all those Arabs now occupying the ancient Jewish homeland suddenly become Israeli, any anti-Israel legislation put forth would be hurting fellow Arabs/Muslims.
So with Israel out of the picture because of this situation, I fully expect the Arab/Muslim countries to do what they have shown time and again to be their next favorite pastime ? making war on each other. If you don?t believe me, I refer you to a speech made by Dr. Mahathir of Malaysia at the autumn 2003 meeting of the OIC (Organization of Islamic States). In it, he said "...we have a thousand religions which are often so much at odds with one another that we often fight and kill each other.... We aid and abet them by attacking and weakening each other..." I fully expect the Arab/Muslim world to self-destruct if the pseudo-Palestinians become Israelis.
And lastly, there is the little issue of nearly 40 years of lies and propaganda. How are the pseudo-Palestinian Arab entity and the rest of the Arab/Muslim world going to reconcile the fact that they have lied to their peoples for generations? You see, once Arafat?s Arabs become Israeli, they will have freedom of information. Not only will they suddenly find out that Israel is indeed a country, they will see that what they have been brainwashed into believing is totally untrue. They will also step into the 21st Century world and be exposed to Western values, culture and technology.
They will learn that their religious and political leaders, even their schoolteachers, have fed them a totally false view of reality. How do you think they are going to respond? And what about the parents of dead homicide bombers, as well as those bombers currently in training? How will they react when they learn that it was all based upon lies? Judging from past experiences by other peoples in the very same situation, my guess is that they?re going to reject everything they?ve been told and lynch the lot of their leaders. Now wouldn?t that be a kick in the disha-dasha!
If the enemies of Israel are as oblivious to consequences as Mr. Qurei, and continue to act before they think ? as he has obviously done (he didn?t merely put his foot in his mouth, he swallowed himself up to the hip!), all Israel must do is sit back and let her foes cogitate themselves into oblivion.
* Pseudo-Palestinian-Arab entity: I refer to the occupiers of Gaza, Judea and Samaria as the ?pseudo-Palestinian Arab entity? because there never was any country called Palestine beyond the one ruled by the Hebrews. There never was a people called ?Palestinian?, other than the Jewish people, for the past 2,000 years, until Yasser Arafat, an Egyptian, stole the name in the early 1960s and gave it to a bunch of Arab rejects whom their own countries refused to allow in. It is an ?entity? because it has no legal status and ?entity? was the nicest word I could come up with for a society that, according to their own polls, support genocide bombings of the Jewish people.
