Strategy Of Conquest: Part 15 (Palestian in 2019 "Haaretz's Views")

Under the current circumsatance of the attrocities and land theft committed on almost daily basis by the Zionists states of Israel, of snatching of Palestinian organs and of organ snatching in the USA by Zionists Rabbis who are the carriers of the tiwisted Talmud, I am stricken by disgust and feelings of throwing up.

Synicism can be a great tool for expressing one's view.

Here is Haaretz's veiw of Palestian from the year 2019, which is closer to reality in absance of a viable solution to the Paletinians' cause, solution of which, under the current negosiations, stincks like a nasty dead rat.

"Back to the [Palestinian] future: A view from 2019 By Roi Ben-Yehuda

Without a viable solution to the Middle East conflict, this is what a speech by a Palestinian leader might look like in the year 2019.

Dear party members, honored guests, and fellow Palestinians (in the homeland and Diaspora). Thank you for gathering at this historic congress. Your presence here is proof against all those who believe that our divisions keep us from peacefully gathering, sharing ideas, disagreeing and uniting. Ten years ago, standing here, we announced our commitment to the two-state solution. We stated loud and clear that we are dedicated to a peace process whose end goal was a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza strip, with a capital in Jerusalem, and a just resolution to the refugee problem. This was a great compromise of our historic rights, yet we understood that there was no realistic alternative to end the occupation without this concession. Our position was backed by a determined American administration, a unified Arab League, a resolute European Union, and in general, a supportive international community. For the first time in history a comprehensive solution was possible. Everybody involved understood the urgency of the matter, and was willing to invest time, manpower, and money into ending our tragedy. Everybody, save one country: Israel.

The Israeli government remained intransigent in its attachment to our land. In the peace summit of 2011, former president Abbas offered Israel the most far-reaching compromise to date, yet Prime Minister Netanyahu would not hear of it. "Jerusalem," he said, "will forever remain the undivided capital of the Jewish people." "The major settlement blocs," he said, "will remain in Israel's control." "And the refugees," he said, "will have a right of return into Palestine proper. Never to Israel." Hence at the peace summit of 2011, Israel articulated its own infamous three "no"s: no to Jerusalem, no to settlements, and no to refugees. And now another "no" is to be added to this ignominious list: No to the two-state solution. Let us face reality: The time has run out on this alternative. The presence of the settlements and the stifling infrastructure of the occupation, what Israelis call facts on the ground, have rendered the two-state solution meaningless. As things stand now, even the most courageous Israeli government [far from what we have had in the last decade] cannot fulfill our basic and fundamental needs. The best Israel can offer us is a pale imitation of a state, and no self-respecting Palestinian will acquiesce to such an injustice. Ladies and gentleman, it is time to articulate a new vision for Palestine, a new vision of what the Palestinian people want and deserve. The hour has come for us to endorse a bi-national state - one person, one vote - to demand full equality as citizens of historic Palestine. Our dream is to be part of a state in which all people, be they Jews or Arabs, have equal political, civil and religious rights. A state where the right of refugees can be honored; where Jerusalem (East and West) is our capital; and where settlements, from Tel Aviv to Ariel, can be called home. It is true that the one-state option has been endorsed by our leaders in the past. Therefore some of you may rightly ask, "are we not replacing one failed dream with another?" I urge you to consider that these are different times. Today, as part of the Palestinian Unification accords, we are collectively committed to a non-violent struggle. In the past some of us believed that violence would compel the world (including Israel) to see our pain and fulfill our aspirations. This was wrong - both strategically and morally. History teaches us that the non-violent path penetrates the heart of the oppressor in a way a bullet never could. It works by rendering visible both the plight and humanity of the oppressed. The non-violent path has brought former empires to their knees - it is a force the Israeli government will not be able to ignore or defeat. Also, unlike the past, today, we have the unanimous support of the international community. I have spoken to the leaders of the great powers around the world, including the United States, and they have assured me that as long as we remain on the path of non-violent resistance they strongly support our cause. This is also a force that the Israeli government cannot ignore or defeat. Of course it is not only the Israeli government that needs to be persuaded. I want to now turn and speak with the Israeli people. Not the government, but the people. I know this is not easy for you to hear. Let me assure you that it is not easy for us either. For years both of our people have been nurtured on a narrative of exclusivity and division. There is a great deal of acrimony and mistrust between us. I have no illusions here - this will neither be quick nor painless. Yes, a bi-national state means an end to the Zionist dream. But what is the value of your dream, if it has become our nightmare? What kind of future can it hold for you? For years you have said that Israel is a Jewish and democratic state, but I ask you, what kind of Jewish democracy occupies and deprives a people of their political and civil rights? As we see it, there is no legitimate reason why this country, in its entirety, cannot be a cultural, spiritual and material safe-haven for all. But for this revolution to take place, a change from within is necessary. We must transform our way of thinking about each other and about what is possible. Your venerable leader, Shimon Peres, once told me that the real problem in the Middle East was that we teach our children to exercise their memory but not their imagination. I agree with this statement. Let's begin exercising our imagination - together. Brothers and sisters, it is clear for all today that there cannot be peace without security, or security without justice. But for real peace, security and justice to flourish, there needs to be respect for our universal human rights. Enfranchisement is the only path out of this human tragedy. Honor this and nothing will be impossible. May Allah bless all of you. Thank you."
