Brownback endorses call for Israeli annexation of West Bank

The Associated Press Published: October 10, 2007

JERUSALEM: U.S. Republican presidential hopeful Sam Brownback on Wednesday endorsed a new Mideast peace plan floated by an ultranationalist Israeli politician that calls for Israeli annexation of the West Bank and encourages Palestinian refugees to move elsewhere.




The plan was drafted by lawmaker Benny Elon of the National Union party, which is affiliated with the religious settler movement and one of the most hardline parties in Israel's parliament.

It calls for giving Palestinian refugees financial incentives to emigrate, granting Jordanian citizenship to the remaining Palestinians, and allowing Israel to retain full sovereignty over the West Bank. Israeli settlements in the West Bank would remain in place, and the Palestinian Authority would be dismantled.

Such an arrangement would essentially allow Israel to keep the entire West Bank while taking little responsibility for its Arab residents. In the past, Israeli hard-liners have made similar proposals suggesting that a Palestinian state be established in neighboring Jordan while Israel remains in control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

More?

Hmmm..this should work wonders for the peace process!

Numero Uno: Any "emigrants" are sure to become the United States' next wave of "immigrants"
Next: Haven't they tried this before?
And finally: By cooperating with Israel on this we would be breeding the next batch of Musowis and Ladeneers.
But, hey, what are we going to do? Tell the truth? It might go something like this:
"We can't really come to the bargaining table as unbiased negotiators, because, well, you see, we just owe Israel too much damned money! You see how it is. Now run along like good little Arabs and stay where we put you."

There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.

Does that make sense to you?
