Alastair Crooke: Israeli and Middle Eastern Relations | Judge Napolitano – Judging Freedom

➡ Judge Napolitano – Judging Freedom channel discusses Israel’s Prime Minister who showed a map with no Palestine, just Israel, covering all the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. This is seen as a plan to erase Palestine and its people. This situation makes Palestinians feel very unsafe and they don’t believe a political solution is possible. They think the only way forward is a struggle that will end in Israel realizing that Zionism isn’t a good way to run a state, especially since there are now equal numbers of Palestinians and Jews living in the area.

Here is the fifth map. It was displayed by Israel’s prime minister to the General assembly last September. He called this the new Middle east. There is no Palestine at all on this map, only Israel, comprised of all the land from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea. This shows you what the prolonged, continuous israeli occupation of Palestine is intended to accomplish. The complete disappearance of Palestine and the destruction of the palestinian people.

The complete disappearance of Palestine and the destruction of the palestinian people. Is this the view that the resistance and the people in the streets have? Is this history generally accepted by them? Yes, completely. This is what I talk about when I talk about settler colonialism. This has been going on, as he said, for the years. It had sort of a great uptick after the 73 war. And it is about the assimilation of land by demography and by physical means, and also then borrowing from Sharon’s military experience in the Sinai, separating and dividing and keeping the Palestinians uncertain on ill formed boundaries, no security, different layers of legal, administrative security, protection to keep them insecure.

In order to give, if you like, Israel living beyond the green line in the occupied territories, to give them security, you had to give the Palestinians a sense of radical insecurity. And that is precisely, you’ve summed up exactly what the resistance is about. And so they don’t see any sort of political solution. How could there be a political solution to that salami slicing over the years from that time? They don’t see that.

They think the only way is some sort of struggle that will finally in, if you like, exhaustion in a defeat, that Israel will come to the terms that Zionism just is not a viable principle to run a state, especially as there are now 7 million Palestinians and 7 million Jews living between the river and the sea. And so demography is removing the idea of a one person, a one people, a unilateral state, a unified state, because then it’s not going to be workable for most Israelis to live in a state where they do not have the privileges are necessary to face what they see as their biblical future.
