Palestinians Begin 2009 Gerry Maxey's Peace Program, Apply in Record Numbers for Israeli Citizenship
Abba Eban, the brilliant Israeli
diplomat, once offered up this devastating insight into the Arab mind set: “The Arabs never miss
an opportunity to miss an opportunity".
Except perhaps now-“…… Palestinians in east
Jerusalem are applying for Israeli citizenship in hopes of swapping their
vulnerable status as mere city residents for the rights and ease of travel that
come with an Israeli passport.
The citizenship debate
reflects the unsettled status of Jerusalem’s 330,000 Palestinians who make up
37% of the city’s population 50 years after Israel captured and annexed the
eastern sector……asking for an Israeli passport still carries the stigma of
implied acceptance of Israeli control, and only about 15,000 Palestinians have
requested one since 2003; of those, fewer than 6,000 were reportedly approved……Israel’s
1967 annexation of east Jerusalem opposed by most of the world did not come
with an offer of automatic citizenship for the tens of thousands of
Palestinians living there….
…..Still, there has
been a rise in applications. In 2016, a peak year, 1,081 families submitted
applications, compared to 69 in 2003, 547 in 2008 …. the Interior Ministry said….AP.”.
This uptick in
Palestinian applications for Israeli citizenship is the smartest and shrewdest maneuver
by the Palestinian people for statehood since……ever.
The quickest way for
the Palestinian people to achieve a TWO STATE solution is via Israeli
Citizenship. This Blogger first advocated that Palestinians seek Israeli
citizenship in his 2009, New Years’ Day Blog.
The following is
excerpted from that Blog:
“ New Year, 2009, and
Israelis and Palestinians are still killing each other, as has happened every
year since Jehovah knows when. This conflict is something out of Gabriel Garcia
Marquez; so it will take a solution out of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
…..the Palestinian Arab-Israeli Conflict, must be based on a Two State solution,….
Step One-The
Palestinians pull a Chief Joseph and stop fighting, period.
” From where the sun
stands, I will fight no more.”
Step Two-The Palestinians execute some of their own die hards as proof of life examples to the Israelis(proof of life equates to proof of sincerity).
Step Three-The Palestinians disarm, and give up all their claims to a State of their own.
Step Four-The Palestinians ask for Israeli citizenship, and the right to vote in Israeli elections.
Step Five-The Palestinians start peacefully marching for the Israeli vote and start singing, “WE SHALL OVERCOME.”
Step Six-The Palestinians calmly wait for the Israelis to open discussions on a two state solution; the alternative not being war but the REAL threat of Palestinians becoming Israeli citizens.”
The future of Israel is
quite stark, if it does not accept a two state solution; the Palestinians will
force a one state solution, and overwhelm the Jewish state by
demographics…….Gerry Maxey in THE DAILY GRAND and SUNDRY.01/01/2009”
This Blogger followed those suggestions, by publishing this Blog
on May 5, 2012: THE MAXEY
CHRONICLES Offers A Palestinian/Israeli Conflict Solution Using Garcia
Marquez And Gandhi….
The following is excerpted from that Blog:“THE
MAXEY CHRONICLES offers this solution to the Palestinian Arab-Israeli
Conflict, based on a Two State solution, using methods out of Gandhi and
Gabriel Garcia Marquez.The following is excerpted from that
Blog:
It is not war but the
Israeli vote which will set the Palestinians free.
Faced with Palestinian Arabs
seeking full Israeli citizenship, Israel will just LEAVE the West Bank. (The
Gandhi input to the Peace Solution).
"Mahatma Gandhi had
once demanded, in a meeting with the British appointed Governor of India, the
unconditional withdrawal of Britain’s colonial occupation. A high ranking
British official who was present at the meeting retorted: “Do you expect Her
Majesty’s Government just to get up and leave India.” “Yes, I do”, Gandhi
replied. “One day you will just leave.”And not too many years later, that is
exactly what happened."…THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.”
On December 28, 2016, this Blogger published: To WIN a Palestinian State, Palestinians Must Forego the 2 State Solution, and Seek Israeli Citizenship....................... http://themaxeychronicles.blogspot.com/2016/12/to-wleslin-palestinian-state-palestinians.html
The following is excerpted from that Blog:“…..
"...it is one the great sins of 20th Century History that an Israeli/Palestinian accord could not be forged when other great Israeli lions were alive: Moshe Dayan, David Ben-Gurion, Yitzhak Rabin, and Abba Eban. Alas, the great Arab lion of that age was Gamal Abdel Nasser; who was delusional. He threatened Israel with annihilation; then, rather than plan for an armed Israeli reaction to his threats, a preemptive strike, he spent hours discussing the future of Jews in a post Israeli, Palestinian state. With lions like Dayan, one does not plan post victory parties before winning the victory. Alas, it is now 2016 and that wish for peace among lions is neither here nor there
Alas, the current Prime
Minister of Israel is that less than great Bibi Netanyahu, brother of the late
great Yonatan Netanyahu, who was killed during the 1976 Entebbe Raid, while
leading the elite commando unit, Sayeret Matkal. Yonatan was the only Israeli
soldier killed while rescuing 102 out of 106 Israeli hostages held by
Palestinian terrorists in Uganda.
Bibi Netanyahu is a very
shrewd politician, who wants a powerful Israel, even at the cost of a SAFE
Israel. Historically he is the direct descendant of Guy of Lusignan, the last
King of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem; Guy wanted a powerful Crusader
Kingdom at the cost of a safe Crusader Kingdom. Guy wound up with no
Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem.
It is now quite obvious
that Bibi of Lusignan wants to dismantle the concept of a two state solution,
Israel living side by side with a West Bank Palestinian state… Bibi wants
to replace the two-state solution with a one state solution, a greater Israel
from the shores of the Mediterranean Sea to the banks of the Jordan
River, the mythic Estatz Israel(Greater Israel).
Bibi
will be capable of imposing his vision on the world by force of Israeli
arms. Sobeit.
Palestinians
should not waste their lives in resisting the declaration of the mythic Estatz
Israel; instead Palestinians should renounce a state of their own, renounce the
two state solution, renounce violence, and begin the epic voyage of asking for
Israeli citizenship, with voting rights……..THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.”
The opportunity for Israeli citizenship
must be taken by the Palestinians.
"….According to figures
first published on the Times of Israel news site in September, the processing
of requests has slowed dramatically since 2014. Out of more than 4,000
individual applications, only 84 were approved, 161 were rejected and the rest
were pending.
Israel's Interior
Ministry blamed a heavier work load.
"There hasn't been
any slowing in the review process, but there are a growing number of
applications every year," said spokeswoman Sabine Haddad.
Lawyers representing
Palestinians said they believe Israel wants to deter Arabs from applying.
"We see a clear
link between these seemingly innocent bureaucratic measures and Israel's
demographic interest to reduce the number of Arabs inside its borders,
especially Arabs with voting rights," said lawyer Adi Lustigman, who has represented
Palestinians seeking citizenship.
…..(applicants) …..need
proficiency in Hebrew, even though Arabic is an official language in Israel.
Other grounds for refusal include minor criminal offenses or a veto by the Shin
Bet security service.
"The main
category is the people who don't get an answer at all," Lustigman
said.”…..AP”
It is not war but the
Israeli vote which will set the Palestinians free; the Palestinians should
throw down their weapons and seek Israeli citizenship, in order to have a
Palestinian state.
The opportunity is
there.
