Sinai Option – Road to Permanent Peace!
by Steven Shamrak.
Not
long ago, most parts of the Middle East, including Palestine and the
entire Sinai Peninsula, were desolate, arid landmasses, not belonging
to any country. It was a no man’s land with which Jews had an unbroken
spiritual and historical bond for 2000 years!
After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War 1, the League of Nations created a Mandate system, appointing new masters, Britain and France. This laid the foundations of the current Arab-Israel conflict!
Trans-Jordan
was the part of the Palestinian Mandate which was allocated for the
creation of a Jewish state in 1922, in accordance with the Balfour
Declaration. Its separation from the Mandate was an illegal act!
Unfortunately, the dominant imperial powers, Britain and France, who controlled the League of Nations, used it to rubber-stamp their shady deals at the time.
As
a result of the deal, Britain secured financial interests in the Suez
Canal; Sinai was illegally given to Egypt by the British with the
permission of King Hussein of Hejaz and Nejd, now Saudi Arabia. In
return, Britain transferred control of the land east of the river
Jordan to Abdullah, son of Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca. Control of
the Golan Heights was ceded to the French-run Syrian Mandate. In
exchange, the United Kingdom got control of newly discovered oil fields
in Kirkuk.
The
creation of a united Arab kingdom, Caliphate, and the Jewish state was
proposed and accepted by both Arab and Jewish leaders over 100 years
ago! This would bring permanent peace to Jews and Arabs, who could then
live with dignity in their own countries.
Britain,
France, and the League of Nations have deliberately sabotaged, ignored,
and disallowed this. The United Nations has been artificially keeping
this ugly status quo!
Since
its independence, Israel has fought many wars with its Arab neighbours;
signed numerous cease-fires (so-called Hudnas - temporary "calm" or
"quiet"), and even peace agreements. All those efforts have not brought
about any permanent solution to the endless terror Israeli/Jewish
society has been enduring daily.
The
Sinai option – the transfer of all the so-called Palestinians from the
land that used to be called the “Palestinian Mandate” to the Sinai
Peninsula – is the Road to Permanent Peace!
The Sinai option will separate the two entirely incompatible communities, and will create an environment conducive to the development of a new nation totally independent of Israel.
1. The
Sinai Peninsula is a contiguous land which is comparable by size with
the entire Palestinian Mandate: Israel, Gaza, Judea, Samaria, Golan
Heights, and Jordan!
2. It will provide so-called Palestinians with a contiguous landmass. Isn’t that what the PA demanding?
3. It
will give Arabs full territorial, financial, military, political, and
religious control over the land and its natural resources, as well as
population. There will be no dependency on Israel!
4. The new entity will be accountable for its actions in accordance with international law.
5. Israel will be able to securely control its border with the new state, and keep it accountable for any terror activity.
6. All anti-Israel terrorist organisations and supporting population will be removed from the Jewish lands.
This plan is also relatively easy to implement.
Several
years ago, during the breakout of violence on the Sinai border with
Egypt, almost half of Gaza’s population went to Sinai and came back in
just two days. This is proof that the Sinai Option can be swiftly
implemented by Israel when an opportunity presents itself!
1. There are only around 250,000 people living in Sinai today, predominantly Bedouins.
2. The
SINAI OPTION will resolve the so-called Palestinian refugee question,
as they can be easily re-settled in the Sinai. (Note: Over 70% of
Jordan’s population is so-called Palestinians others are decedents of the refuges from Saudi Arabia.)
3. Every year the International community
has been wasting/spending billions of dollars on the maintenance of the
Israel-Palestinian conflict. The SINAI OPTION offers the opportunity
for investment in the permanent resolution of the conflict. Those
billions of dollars can be productively used to establish a homeland
for so-called Palestinian refugees and will be available to alleviate
the suffering of many real refugees over the world!
4. Population
transfers were successfully implemented before and after the adoption
of the Fourth Geneva Convention resolution, 1949. In fact, Israel is
the only country this resolution is targeting - to prevent the transfer
of the fake Palestinian population from Jewish land after the War of
Independence!
5. It
will create investment opportunities and would be of great benefit to
Egypt, as well as a financial bonanza for those Palestinians who are
currently living in Judea, Samaria, Gaza, and Jordan.
6. It
will improve the lifestyle, living conditions; bring peace, stability,
and prosperity not just to Palestinians, but to the entire Middle East
region – including Arabs states and the people of Israel!
This will be the beginning of the process of ending the occupation of Jewish land by enemies, and establishing true and permanent peace in Israel - free of terror! The new entity can be either part of Egypt or become another independent state.
The plan can be implemented humanely and gradually under the supervision of the International community
or Israel can execute it unilaterally by force when the Arab enemies of
the Jewish state start the next war or commit a hideous act of terror
against the Israeli population. Israel must be ready to implement the
SINAI OPTION at any time!
This
is the only way toward permanent peace in the region and fulfilment of
the 2000-year-old commandment and inspiration of Jewish people – the
return to the G-d given land of our ancestors!
The
International community, Arab and Muslim countries insist that they
want peace in the Middle East! Why don’t they even want to hear about
this alternative plan?
Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
Since
its independence, Israel has fought many wars with its Arab neighbours;
signed numerous cease-fires, and even signed useless peace agreements.
All those efforts have not brought about any permanent solution to the
endless terror that Israeli society has been enduring daily.
Antisemitism is on the rise again and has become a ‘popular norm’, as
it was before and during the Holocaust! Only by defeating its enemies
decisively and unapologetically, will Israel be able to reunite
Eretz-Israel, the Jewish state on the land of our ancestors, and
receive due respect even from the Jew-hating international
anti-Semites! Political leadership of Israel must regain self-respect,
shake off its 'Ghetto mentality' and end the occupation of the Jewish
land by enemies.
Anti-Semitic Travesty of Population Transfer
by Steven Shamrak
In 1922, the British encouraged Arab anti-Jewish riots and were quite eager to implement the transfer of Jews from Trans-Jordan, Hebron and
other parts of the Palestinian Mandate, which was created for
a future Jewish state, but rejected an idea, presented by a
Zionist committee, of transferring Arabs to trans-Jordan.
On
29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly
adopted Resolution 181, calling for the partition of what is
left of the Mandate into Arab and Jewish states (into ridiculous six
triangles). Interestingly, the resolution had a provision of population
transfer. Arabs rejected this resolution and waged war against Jews!
Israel's War of Independence began on 19 July 1948 and ended on 20 July, 1949.
Less than a month later, on 12 August 1949, the United Nations adopted
the Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in
Time of War. All prior Geneva Conventions were adopted before 1949, and were concerned with combatants only!
Just
two years earlier, 12 million people were transferred between India and
Pakistan to stop the blood bath and resolve the conflict!
Because
Israel won the war, which all international anti-Semites were hoping
that Jews would lose, against seven well-armed Muslim states, the UN
deliberately stopped the flood of Arab refugees from Israel! By doing
so, the UN has created an unresolvable conflict and persistently has
been maintaining it.
Since
1949, “population transfer” has been practiced quite commonly in
various forms and names, mostly by the UN, as creation of ‘safe zones’ and refugee resettlement programs! Most refugees from other conflict zones have been resettled, but not the fake Palestinians!
Therefore,
immediately after Israel won the War of Independence, “population
transfer” - transfer of Arabs from Israel - became illegal, in reality, for Israel only!
Several billions of dollars are spent each year on already the 4th generation
of ‘unique’, ‘professional’ Palestinian refugees with one goal only –
to undermine the legitimacy and existence of the Jewish state!
