Gantz is actively supporting the Fayyad Plan, which the EU is financing and backing politically. The Plan is designed to illegally take over Area C in violation of the Oslo Accords, and so far it is succeeding.
Thus both Lapid and Gantz agree that the Palestinians must be separated from Israel in order for Israel to remain a democratic state with a Jewish majority. Neither of them, however, made even the slightest mention of claiming sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, our biblical heartland. Indeed, their combined silence on this issue clearly demonstrates their complete disinterest in doing so.
Despite this goal of ceding the land to the Arabs, Gantz persists in describing it as a “Zionist matter.” The prospect of this policy is terribly reminiscent of Herzl’s misguided acceptance of the British Uganda Proposal tabled at the Zionist Congress in 1903.
Jewish Virtual Library records:
While Herzl made it clear that this program would not affect the ultimate aim of Zionism, a Jewish entity in the Land of Israel, the proposal aroused a storm at the Congress and nearly led to a split in the Zionist movement. The Jewish Territorialist Organization (ITO) was formed as a result of the unification of various groups who had supported Herzl’s Uganda proposals during the period 1903-1905.
That split remains today.
In fact, the Left in Israel supported Moshe Dayan’s actions in turning over the Temple Mount to the Arabs after conquering Jerusalem in 1967 for two reasons. The first was that they didn’t want to start a holy war with Islam, which Dayan said would be the result of keeping it, and the second was because they wanted to undermine the role of the Jewish religion in Israel.
After the War of Independence, Israel extended sovereignty over all land conquered beyond the partition lines, pursuant to a law that became known as Ben Gurion’s Law. Unfortunately, she declined to do so over all lands conquered in the ’67 War. The reason it wasn’t done is because the Leftist government didn’t want to contend with the Arabs living in said lands, and didn’t look upon it as our biblical heartland. As a result, UNSC Resolution 242 was passed.
Today, the Center/Left supports ridding Israel of Judea and Samaria for the same reason. They prefer Israel to be a state of all its citizens, rather than the nation state of the Jews.
In summary, the Left wants to diminish the role of religion in Israel, and they want to separate from the Palestinians.
Israel’s troubles started in earnest with the signing of the Oslo Accords (1993 and 1995), which was negotiated and approved by the Center/Left Government with a one-seat majority. The worst part of the Oslo Accords was that Israel was required to invite Arafat and 50,000 of his fellow terrorists into Israel. They became the bane of Israel’s existence.
The second colossal mistake was disengaging from Gaza in 2005. That action was also promoted by the Center/Left. As a result, we have been subjected to four inconclusive wars with Gaza.
In 2005, in the lead-up to the disengagement, Olmert said at the Israel Policy Forum, “We are tired of fighting. We are tired of being courageous. We are tired of winning. We are tired of defeating our enemies.”
Within a year, he became Prime Minister and said: “We want them to be our friends, our partners, our good neighbors. And I believe that is not impossible.” And: “Peace is achieved through concessions. We all know that.” Do we? What about “peace through strength”?
Does he still believe “it’s not impossible”? Do Gantz and Lapid believe that?
Why does the Center/Left still promote the TSS? Why do they refuse to learn from the past? Why do they ignore that the Charters of both the PLO and Hamas call for the destruction of the State of Israel? Surely they know that the TSS is a fantasy and will never come to be.
Caroline Glick in 2014 published The Israeli Solution: A One-State Plan for Peace in the Middle East. In it, she proposed that Israel annex all the land west of the Jordan River with the exception of Gaza, and offered a path to citizenship to the Arabs.
