More Background on Transfer

The Case For Population Exchange by Lewis Lipkin.

The almost universal Israel Arab and Palestinian antagonism to Israel and Jews has been evident and is documented in many sources. Boris Shusteff ("The Morality of Transfer", http://www.freeman.org/m_online/feb02/shusteff1.htm, 01/22/02 ) describes some typical poll results:

"The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in Ramallah and the Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem conducted this poll among Palestinian Arabs during the week of December 19-24, 2001. They found that `69% of Palestinians would not view as an act of terrorism the future use of chemical and biological weapons against Israel by Palestinians, but when committed by Israel 93% of Palestinians would define it as terror.'"

...

Joseph Farah ("Shattering the Myths of the Middle East", Whistleblower, June, 2002, p. 10) points out that:

"Arabs already control 99.9 percent of the Middle East Lands whereas Israel represents one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the land mass. But even that little speck is too much for the Arab potentates and powers. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today. No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough."

...

This editorial is from the New Statesman (http://www.newstatesman.co.uk/199905100001.htm), which is usually left of center:

"............. The West must therefore do one of two things: police the region indefinitely, or preside over a series of partitions and population exchanges. And if humanitarian intervention is to become the norm, as Tony Blair suggests, the West is likely to face similar choices in parts of Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus, and south Asia. Yet the western liberal mind will not be comfortable with either alternative."

...

We consider here the benefit to Israel. An Israel that completed the population exchange would gain several advantages:

Having the Arabs as foreign nationals allows Israel to fight, if necessary, future wars in the way she does well. Guerrilla warfare is much more difficult to fight.

Hostile Arabs would reside in nations other than Israel and thus are easily identifiable.

The numerous UN refugee camps on the West Bank and Gaza that are little more than military bases for PLO, Hamas and Hezbollah forces would be eliminated. This would allow the IDF to concentrate on Israel's borders.

The Settlement issue would evaporate. The Left would have to find some other justification for its anti-orthodox bias.

Jewish holy sites such as Hebron would be accessible. And the destruction of Jewish Holy sites by the Arabs would be at an end.

Israel could again resume its role as the leading industrial nation of the Middle East.
