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.

The Urination Of Nicole Kidman's Career

I went to see EYES WIDE SHUT in total awe of its Director, Stanley Kubrick, who had in his career Directed THE GREATEST Science Fiction/Cosmological film EVER- 2001, SPACE ODYSSEY, the BEST and MOST INSIGHTFUL film essay on American culture EVER- LOLITA, arguably the greatest war movie ever- PATHS OF GLORY, and one of the best film epics ever- SPARTACUS. Mr. Kubrick died SUDDENLY, before EYES WIDE SHUT was released. Everyone was so sad. Then I saw EYES WIDE SHUT, and understood exactly why Herr Director Kubrick had croaked so suddenly; he had willed himself to death before the release of the film, so that  he would not have to suffer the slings and shots against his declining genius. EYES WIDE SHUT is the WORST, laughably worst, porn film ever made, EVER. It starred that larger than life couple(at the time), Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The key scene in the film was Ms. Kidman peeing. I was spending over $60.00(including tickets,parking and snacks for me and my date ) to watch

The Crash of Flight 447: Fate, Moliere and Veronique Gaignard

In 1954 there was the film, THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY about danger in the air; that was followed by the 1964 film, FATE IS THE HUNTER about a fatal airplane crash and the followup investigation; followed by the 1970 film, AIRPORT, about a bomber on a plane, starring every living star in Hollywood at the time; followed by  the sequels, AIRPORT 75, AIRPORT 77, AIRPORT 79- THE CONCORDE. All that melodramatic danger in the air was laughed to death by the films AIRPLANE in 1980, followed by AIRPLANE II in 1982. Everything in air flight had been covered, both the tragedy and the comedy  of air travel, until Air France Flight 447. Flight 447 was the Air France  Airbus Flight from Brazil to France, which,in 2009, crashed in the South Atlantic , killing all on board,228 passengers. Airbuses fly by wire, which means they fly by computers rather than the old mechanical ways.  Very up to date, except when something goes awry, then it seems it is very difficult to set right.

France- Bastille Day, July 14, 2024,....Waiting for the Generals

Bastille Day is the National Holiday of France, under Republican regimes. It celebrates the storming of a decaying prison during the French Revolution, by a frenzied mob. Emmanuel Macron is one of those specific French wunderkinds; who thinks he is more sophisticated than anyone; because, as a high school student, he attended a high school drama club and seduced the mother of a fellow student; who was supervising the club. They married in 2007. Macron is one of those specific French wunderkinds, who thinks he is smarter than History, Russian Cossacks, Prussian generals, Vietnamese guerillas and Algerian nationalists.  Smarter than History itself, smarter than historical determinism, smarter than ancient enmities.  He isn’t. Macron was a Socialist politician; but he broke ranks and broke the French  Socialist Party by  running for the Presidency, in 2017, as the candidate of a new party; which he had founded, centered around himself. He won 66% of the vote, defeating Marine Le Pen. The
