WILLEN ZE EIGENJK WEL VREDE.........?
In haar meesterwerk Hadrianus' Gedenkschriften vertelt de Belgisch-Franse schrijfster Marguerite Yourcenar (1903-1987) dat de Romeinse keizer Hadrianus (76-138 n. Chr.) ook wel de 'reizende keizer' genaamd na zijn bezoek aan het toenmalige Palestina over de Joodse Gemeenschap gezegd zou hebben: "Een zeer intelligent, doch buitengemeen arrogant, twistziek en hokkerig volkje".
De komende week bezoekt een andere reizende keizer, nu van Amerikaanse origine opnieuw Palestina. Donald Trump is eveneens arrogant, twistziek en hokkerig met zijn familie. Slim? Sluw zeker !
Wat gaat hij daar doen? Is daar iets te doen? As the Psalmist (146: 3) warns: “Put not your trust in the act of promising, nor in the son of man, from whom there comes no salvation.”http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.790396
In mijn ogen is daar niets te doen!
Wanneer je de kaart van de zgn. Westbank bekijkt zie je een niet op te lossen legpuzzel. De bekende academicus en Palestijn Edward Said schreef deze oplossing al in 1999 af in zijn artikel 'The One-State Solution' http://www.nytimes.com/1999/01/10/magazine/the-one-state-solution.html
Vele weldenkende mensen volgden hem in deze mening. De Tweestatenoplossing is pure 'window dressing' geworden. http://www.tothepointanalyses.com/2491
De extreem rechtse regering van Netanyahu heeft überhaupt geen enkele belangstelling voor een oplossing van het conflict en wel om de volgende drie redenen:
I Eretz Israel
Het 'Groot'of 'Heilig' Israel is het huidige Israel plus de Westbank. De naam 'Westbank' wordt zelden of nooit gebruikt. Men noemt het Judea en Samaria "het Bijbelse hartland van het volk Israel".
Voor het bezoek van president Trump werd het Witte Huis daar nog eens nadrukkelijk op gewezen.
Israeli Justice Minister Slams White House Map Of Israel As Ignorant
Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet slammed U.S. ignorance and vowed to ensure Palestinians never get a state.
With President Trump’s visit already riling several other members of Israel’s far-right government related to whether the Western Wall, which Israel captured militarily in 1967, is occupied, Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked found a new reason to be outraged, the map of Israel that the White House has been circulating ahead of Trump’s trip.
The White House map is accurate, and that’s the problem from Shaked’s perspective, as she was expecting the White House map to recognize all of the occupied territories, every scrap of the West Bank and the Golan Heights, as Israeli territory.
That the White House didn’t do this, because they had literally no reason to have been expected to do this, Shaked said she hoped this was just a matter of US “ignorance” and not an expression of US policy recognizing Israel’s actual map as the extent of Israel’s territory.

Het gevaar van een burgeroorlog ligt niet alleen besloten in de confrontatie met de Palestijnen en de verdeeldheid over het Palestijnse vraagstuk binnen Israel, die dat zal oproepen.
In Israel zelf tikt een tijdbom veroorzaakt door de substantiële groei van de orthodoxe Joodse Gemeenschap met haar extremistische standpunten. In 2013 ervoer 20% van de Joden zich als Nationaal-Religieus. De verwachting was dat de uitkomst ongeveer 10% zou zijn. Een verklaring voor deze afwijkende verwachting is hun hoge geboortecijfer. Deze groep heeft 6.5 kind per echtpaar.
Door het permanent zaaien van angst voor de 'buitenwereld', c.q. Palestijnen, IS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas en de Iraniërs cultiveert men de angst onder de bevolking.

Pre-Traumatic
Stress Syndrome induced by a continual grand narrative of Israeli victimization
caused by the Holocaust: being driven into the sea, being wiped off the map,
delegitimized, all portend the
impending disaster that awaits the Jewish state.

I noticed that Israel has diplomatic relations with
157 countries, and virtually all the agreements and protocols Israel has signed
with them contain military and security components. From those tiny threads, it
dawned on me that when military relations are mixed into diplomatic stew, new,
surprising and seemingly impossible constellations emerge.
Israel it seemed was succeeding in parlaying its military and securocratic prowess into political clout, in pursuing what I now call security politics. The Occupied Palestinian Territories, I now understood, did not pose a financial burden on Israel or an unwanted source of insecurity and conflict. Indeed, the opposite was the case. Without an occupation and an interminable conflict, how would Israel sustain its strong international standard?

Number six on the list of weapon exporters is Israel. Israel may be the sixth weapon exporter in the world, but it is the largest arms exporter in per capita terms. Indeed, while the U.S. has the largest military-industrial complex in the world, Israel has the largest proportion of its economy dedicated to the military-industrial complex.

III Israëls Burgeroorlog en Demografie
An Israeli civil war is inevitable
On Israel’s 69th Independence Day, the public is divided into
two camps with no common ground. The annexation advocates want to perpetuate
the occupation, annex the territories, deny the Palestinians who live there equal civil rights and strengthen the
country’s Jewish character at the expense of its democratic character. Their
vision is apartheid, fascism and God.
The democrats seek an immediate end to the occupation.
Ideologically, it is impossible to reconcile the two camps. Only one can triumph. Israel is now a zero-sum game.
One day, the Palestinians who are subject to an
apartheid regime in the annexed territories will revolt. And the Jewish
democrats will revolt with them – in the name of democratic ideas that are more
important than obeisance to immoral laws in a country that has turned its back
on democracy.
The democrats seek an immediate end to the occupation.
Ideologically, it is impossible to reconcile the two camps. Only one can triumph. Israel is now a zero-sum game.

Deze Strategie specifiek gericht op de omringende wereld moet de ogen doen sluiten voor de vijand van binnen. Mocht de staat Israel niet tot bezinning komen en ik vrees daarvoor dan zal de gevreesde Self-Fulfilling Prophecy zich uiteindelijk voltrekken.
