33. FIRST DISKIN, NOW LAPID !
A few days ago, Yuval Diskin said, and I quote: "The most dangerous thing for the Palestinian society is that it has no future, it only has a past". Now, you Mr. Lapid, you are insisting that "controlling another people is against Jewish morality". Both of you should have known better! I suppose, Mr. Lapid, that by "people" you mean a Nation. Well, a Palestinian (Arab) Muslim Nation living for thousands of years, in this land, as their narrative is telling us, is a fairy tale that doesn't exist. Some history: In 1695, a scholar, geographer, cartographer and well know philologist, called Relandi, was sent on a sightseeing tour to "Palestina". He mapped the land and arranged a population survey and census of each community. Result? Most of the inhabitants were Jews, and the rest Christians. Few Muslims, mostly nomad Bedouins.
After the passage of Napoleon, the Turks, afraid of Christians settling mainly in Jerusalem, decided to reinforce the Muslim presence in the country, by promising a tax exemption of 12 years. So, Muslims arrived from Morocco, Caucasus and Bosnia. And hundreds of thousands Muslims arrived, since 1885, from neighboring countries to find work thanks to Jewish immigration. Conclusion: there are Muslims living between the Sea and the Jordan River, but without a qualification of People or Nation. Israel's goal must indeed be, to preserve a large Jewish majority, but without giving away (not giving back, as some with serious gaps pretend) more of its land. I listened to interviews Bennett gave abroad, regarding this issue, by proposing a solution that ensures Israel's security, and the Jewish majority; he expresses himself with a lot of conviction, dignity, logic, honor and pride, that leaves far behind him PM Netanyahu, and I'm sorry to tell it, but of course, you too Mr. Lapid.
