Op-Ed: Time for a New Peace Process
Arutz Sheva ^ | 9/3/13 | David Rubin

.....

The sad fact is that the peace process has always failed and will continue to fail until we do an abrupt restart and begin to base any future peace process on biblical principles, historical justice, and common sense. Toward this end, I have proposed a new peace plan....At its core are four key principles:

1. The entire land of Israel is the eternal sovereign inheritance of the Jewish people and no other sovereign nation or quasi-governmental authority can exist within the borders in Israel’s possession, which at this time consists of the territory from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River.

2. Israel extends its hand in unconditional peace and cooperation, peace for peace, to all of its neighbors, including those Arabs who live within its borders in Judea and Samaria (the 'West Bank').

3. A path to loyal citizenship in the State of Israel will be offered for all non-citizens of Israel currently living within its borders, including Judea and Samaria. Such a path will include an extensive two-year course in Zionist, Jewish history, culminating in a required oath of loyalty to the Jewish State of Israel, with hand on the Tanach, the Bible of Israel and followed by a 2-3 year commitment of national service to Israel, as performed by all other citizens.

4. Those who refuse this path of citizenship will be offered a stipend to be resettled in one of the neighboring countries. The option of subsidized transfer will be on the table for one year. After that point, only a small number of non-citizens will be allowed to remain, based on Israel’s needs.

This is NOT Biblical.

Peace process: Good destroys evil.

Now that is Biblical.

The Bible will take care of itself. I object to these parts of it: 1. Citizenship shouldn’t be mandatory. If the Palis want to maintain their concept of personal “dignity” by refusing to become citizens, all the better. 2. If a Muslim swears loyalty on the Hebrew Bible, he will not regard that oath as anything more than taqiyya. I don’t know if swearing on the Quran will work any better, but it has a better chance of being considered binding by the individual Pali swearing loyalty. 3. There is no will among Israelis to forcibly evict people who refuse to become citizens after the one-year period. You will get the occasional sticker or black-painted graffiti saying “Kahana Tzadak” (Kahane was right), but the idea has not really caught on, and personally, I’d also have a few problems with it, such as what to do with Jewish captive brides among the Arabs and their children. There are also a few tribes of crypto-Jews among the Bedouins. Simply writing them all off and sending them to Libya or Canada does not sit well with me.

That wasn’t quite what I meant by Biblical. I meant BIBLICAL. Literally.

Yes, and they’re doing all they can to string us along until we commit suicide. So far, we haven’t, so they’re still threatening to kill us if we don’t.
