The motive behind the proposed Israeli "withdrawal" from Gaza.
One should remember that South Africa "withdrew" from
the bantustans it created, and the withdrawal didn´t
save the racist apartheid regime.
So, what the Israeli Jews should think about is that
whether they want the so called "Jewish" (large number
of so-called Israeli Jews are, because of the way that
Israel defines whether one is or is not a Jew, in reality,
not Jews. They (may) have Jewish ancestors, but many of
themselves are not followers of Judaism nor they have
Jewish identity, so one can claim that Jews are not any
more the majority population Palestine even today; the
so-called Jewish state is "diluted" by immigration) state,
to linger on for few decades, or whether they want Jews
to stay as signifant part of the population of Palestine for
the foreseable future. That would be achieved if Israel
would really give the people living in occupied areas
Israeli nationality with full rights, and if Israel at
the same time would join the EU and NATO and possibly
establish permanent NATO bases on it´s soil. These would
create safety against possible fears of future ethnic
cleansing. That would make South Africa as a possible
role model for the future of Palestine, and not Algeria.
The world may, and most likely will, watch passively and
sing the praises of Israel, if they go on with the
so-called withdrawal and future landgrabs, but they will
not save Israel as "Jewish" state. Full withdrawal from
all occupied areas probably would, but any foreseable
Israeli government will unlikely to have the sense or
will to do so.
