Thank You Ariel Sharon, Et Al
By Ariel Natan Pasko
Thank you Ariel Sharon for your Gaza Disengagement Plan. Do to your
willingness to call for "transferring" - i.e. expelling Jews from
a part of their historic homeland - the Gazan Jewish community; Likud Party
members were given an opportunity to voice their opposition to your plan.
And voice they did; an overwhelming majority - about 60% - rejected your
plan.
Thank you Ariel Sharon, do to your threats against the Gazan Jewish
community, an estimated 70-100,000 people came to Gush Katif in Gaza
recently, on Israeli Independence Day (120-150,000 including those stuck in
traffic or turned away by the police), to show their support for the Gazan
Jews and to register their opposition to your plan. It brought the largest
Jewish presence to Gaza in modern times. More Israelis are interested in
seeing Gaza today, and connecting to the communities there, than ever
before.
Thank you ministers Ehud Olmert, Tzipi Livne, Silvan Shalom and others from
the Likud; and thank you Shinui Party ministers, Yosef Lapid, Avraham Poraz,
and Avraham Paritzky for helping also.
And so as not to "discriminate" against the opposition politicians
in Israel; thank you members of Knesset, Shimon Peres, Dalia Itzik, Avraham
Burg, Matan Vilnai, etc. from the Labor Party, and lets not forget MKs
Zahava Gal-On, Yossi Sarid and those from Yahad (formerly Meretz), who just
as graciously helped the Gazan Jewish community, by threatening their very
existence.
I'd also like to thank all those in the Israeli electronic and print media
who have jumped on the "disengagement bandwagon" to promote an
ethnic cleansing campaign in Israel. In particular, I'd like to thank the
trinity of Larry Derfner from the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz's Akiva Eldar
and Amira Hass, for their constant prattle against "settlers," and
their support for Prime Minister Sharon's expulsion plan.
Finally, I'd like to thank Chief Justice Aharon Barak and the Israeli
Supreme Court, who if they would uphold the legality of the Sharon
government's Gaza plan to expropriate the property - with or without
compensation - of Israeli citizens and expel them from their homes, would be
setting an important legal precedent for the future.
All these supporters of Sharon's Disengagement Plan believe it is for the
best interests of the State of Israel and it's national security.
Why, might you ask, do I thank all these people?
Plain and simple, because it's dawned on me, that as good democratically
minded citizens of the State of Israel; if they support "ethnic
cleansing" of Jews from Gaza today, tomorrow their support can be
counted on, if a future Israeli government comes to power that wants to
remove Israeli Arabs and the so-called Palestinians, from the historic Land
of Israel, for the best interests of the State of Israel and it's national
security.
Since I assume that none of these fair-minded people mentioned above, would
contemplate treating Jews in a different and inferior way, to the way they
would treat Arabs; I assume that none of these fine Israeli citizens
planning to "ethnically cleanse" their fellow citizens from Gaza,
would discriminate against people just because they are Jews.
Thoughts of calling them racist, Nazi, Judeo-path, or anti-Semite, might
cross one's mind, if that were true - that they only would support the
expulsion of "settlers" i.e. Jews - from parts of Israel, but
since I'm convinced that's not the case, one needn't worry.
No, these fine citizens, from Sharon, Netanyahu, and Olmert of Likud, to
Peres and his Labor colleagues on down, have opened the Pandora's Box of
"ethnic cleansing," never to be shut again.
In the future - I believe not so distant - a future Jewish leader can rest
assured of the political support of these people, to carry out a
"transfer" policy against "enemies" that threaten the
lives and welfare of Israel's Jewish population. Based on legal precedent,
such policy will demand the support of those who earlier worked to expel
Jews from Gaza. If they won't want to be accused of being racists, Nazis,
Judeo-paths, or anti-Semites, they will have to support such a policy.
Then again, they can admit the truth...and be prosecuted, by that future
Israeli government.
Thank you Ariel Sharon.
