Homes throughout Israel have begun receiving their private copies of the Geneva agreement - that controversial document formulated by Yossi Beilin and comrades that calls for a near-complete Israeli retreat from all of Yesha, the Old City, and the Temple Mount. Private donors, including European Union sources, are funding a three-million-shekel campaign to mail the 70-page booklet to every home in Israel. MK Yuri Stern, National Union party Knesset whip, has asked the Non-Profit Associations Registrar to investigate the source of funding for the Geneva agreement.
MK Ephraim Sneh of Labor is one of those with strong criticism of the agreement. He said yesterday that it leaves Israel with "defenseless borders."
Transportation Minister Avigdor Lieberman (National Union) said today that the agreement is "reminiscent of the Munich Pact [a document signed in 1938 by Hitler, Chamberlain, and Mussolini, stipulating the ceding and evacuation of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Germany within 12 days] and the Communist Manifesto...
"What Israel needs now is not a hudna [temporary ceasefire], in which the terrorists get some time off to rebuild their murderous capacities, but rather to defeat terrorism. It must be totally crushed from every standpoint, and only then will we be able to build a stable situation. I'm not only talking about Arafat, but also Abu Ala and Yassin and all the rest." He clarified that Abu Ala need not be killed, "because we don't have any proof that he himself actually has blood on his hands - but we do have very much proof that he was very involved for many years in funding terror attacks... We must liquidate the terrorist infrastructure, which also includes the incitement in schools, etc."
The right-wing has also been working on a diplomatic plan of its own. The guiding principles of a plan being formulated by the Yesha Council (Council for the Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza) are that no Palestinian state will be established, but the Arab-populated areas will be autonomous, and no Jewish community will be dismantled or removed. Bentzy Lieberman, head of the Yesha Council, told Arutz-7 that at present, the only two plans on the public agenda are the Road Map and the Geneva agreement, "both of which are worse than Oslo. Those who criticize us in this area are right; the nationalist camp must present its own plan - and the stronger and quicker, the better."
Tourism Minister Benny Elon (National Union) has proposed a plan, entitled The Right Road to Peace, which can be seen at "WWW.THERIGHTROADTOPEACE.COM". Billed as a "regional solution based on geopolitical and economic logic," the plan expands the solution to include both sides of the Jordan River, calls for the dissolution of the Palestinian Authority, and involves the recognition of Jordan as the Palestinian state.
