Re: [Marxism] Israel's intentions

David Thorstadt posted this quote from perhaps the next Israeli Prime  
Minister -
 
 
Benyamin Netanyahu, then Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister, former  Prime 
Minister of Israel, tells students at Bar Ilan University, From  the 
Israeli journal Hotam, November 24, 1989:

"Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations  in 
China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out  mass 
expulsions among the Arabs of the territories."
 
 
Certainly getting an advantage for the upcoming election was a factor for  
Livni and Barak's attack on Gaza, but according to all the polls, the racist  
idea of "transfer" - what the world calls ethnic cleansing, is gaining more  
adherents among Israeli Jews as the "final solution" to the "demographic 
threat"  
of "too many Arabs" with a higher birthrate. I believe that Israel has 
written  off Gaza and consigned it to eventually being taken over by Egypt, 
which is 
what  happened from 1948 - 1967. But with the illegal West Bank settlements,  
Israel seeks to present the world with a fait accompli - "we've spent so  
much money on infrastructure and have so many people here that it just isn't  
realistic anymore to abandon it all. Let the Palestinians set up a state of  
their own in Jordan". (Jordan is part of historic Palestine, 60% of whose  
population is Palestinian).
 
And the Israelis will exploit a major war with Iran or even Lebanon and the  
extreme chauvinism and hysteria that would accompany it as the perfect  
opportunity to put this transfer of "a fifth column" into place, And the  
liberals 
and cruise missile left will defend it in the name of "Israel's  security must 
be guaranteed!"
