Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon Zaki Makes Bibi’s Case With Obama

.
Commentary:

IMRA’s (Independent Media Review Analysis) Dr. Aaron Lerner cites this MEMRI report in which Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon Abbas Zaki is cited; If Israel leaves Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria it will collapse. The full direct quote from Zaki states:

“With the two-state solution, in my opinion, Israel will collapse, because if they get out of Jerusalem, what will become of all the talk about the Promised Land and the Chosen People? What will become of all the sacrifices they made – just to be told to leave? They consider Jerusalem to have a spiritual status. The Jews consider Judea and Samaria to be their historic dream. If the Jews leave those places, the Zionist idea will begin to collapse. It will regress of its own accord. Then we will move forward.”

There is also a MEMRI video of Zaki uttering these words and more.

Over the past few months, since Operation Cast Lead began, this author has been doing double-duty posting news to the IRIS (Information Regarding Israel’s Security) blog. During the month of May, we have come across these reports, analyses and commentaries which this author didn’t deem applicable for this blog at the time as they could be construed as depending on avodah zora America. Nevertheless, as these IRIS blog posts are lead-in to this author’s comments below, they are listed here:

When prime minister Netanyahu meets president Barack Hussein Obama, it seems self evident that he could have major problems driving home Israel’s case of for protecting her security and sovereignty, as well as emphasizing Israel as a Jewish sovereignty, the Divine Mandate of a unified Jerusalem and retention of Yehuda and the Shomron (Judea and Samaria) even being the master of English articulation that he is.

THE major reason for what may be is the hypocrisy of his government, as well as that of successive previous governments on the very points that Palestinian Ambassador Zaki makes:

  • Two-State Solution
  • Promised Land and the Chosen People
  • The Sacrifices They (the Jewish people) Made
  • Judea and Samaria and the Zionist Idea

And so this author harkens back to a post made during Chol HaMo’ed Pesach — Israel’s Imperatives: Confident Leadership, Cohesion of National Purpose and a dialogue between a possibly ham-struck secular Benyamin Netanyahu and a Harvard grad president of the United States. What Bibi faces when he meets Obama magnifies his cataclysmic blunder of dumping true-blue Jews like Moshe Feiglin from the viable spots won in Likud’s primary.

It is against the backdrop of Palestinian Ambassador Zaki’s comments as well as the duplicity of the United States, particularly the Obama administration that drive home the compelling and telling point that Israel must return to what it once was; a Nation, a Jewish people united, with its sectorial differences subserviant to a Unity of national purpose and subordinate to a restoration of independence of action on all levels. In short, Israel must return to a credo of fighting it’s own wars, on it’s own terms and not on the terms of third party or so-called “superpower” dictates. Israel must return to a credo of taking care of her own — a prisoner captured is a prisoner liberated by sweat of battle and not by freeing hundreds or thousands of terrorists to attack again. The steps toward regaining and retaining these qualities begins with emunah and begins at the top.

Bibi had better do some massive soul-searching between now and when he meets Obama in Washington D.C. MB
