When Opposites Attract

   I. We are neo-Nazis who strive for the complete destruction of Israel and of the Jewish people. We think this destruction can be achieved in total, even if it is implemented in stages. Accordingly, we have prepared a master plan for achieving our goal of Israel’s annihilation:
 
      1. Israel must withdraw as a first step to its pre-1967 border and it must set up an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
 
      2. Hamas must then be the party in control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
 
      3. Israel must refrain from all retaliation against Palestinians, no matter what.
 
      4. Israel must conduct negotiations even while under fire.
 
      5. Israel must never retaliate for rockets being fired into the Negev.
 
      6. Israel must end all attempts at assassinating Palestinian leaders or militia commanders.
 
      7. Israel must institute affirmative action preferences to ensure that Arabs hold positions of power in all areas.
 
      8. Israel must release all imprisoned Arab terrorists and murderers without any conditions.
 
      9. Israel must turn the Golan Heights over to Syria and allow the Syrian military to take up positions there.
 
      10. Israel must never attack Hizbullah under any circumstances.
 
      11. Israel must unilaterally foreswear development and use of nuclear weapons.
 
      12. Israel must refrain from using any weapons that are controversial, such as cluster bombs.
 
      13. Israel must remove all Jewish symbols from its flag and national anthem.
 
      14. Israel must agree to an unrestricted “right of return” for Arabs wishing to return to pre-1967 Israel.
 
      15. Israel must set up an Arab-language university for its Arab student population, in which Arab nationalism will be the focus of instruction.
 
 
      II. We are Israeli professors committed to a compassionate peace. We want an end to the Middle East conflict. We believe in peace, justice and equality. We are patriots who just want a fair and peaceful resolution to the Middle East’s problems. Accordingly, we have prepared a master plan for achieving our goal:
 
      1. Israel must withdraw as a first step to its pre-1967 border and it must set up an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
 
      2. Hamas must then be the party in control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
 
      3. Israel must refrain from all retaliation against Palestinians, no matter what.
 
      4. Israel must conduct negotiations even while under fire.
 
      5. Israel must never retaliate for rockets being fired into the Negev.
 
      6. Israel must end all attempts at assassinating Palestinian leaders or militia commanders.
 
      7. Israel must institute affirmative action preferences to ensure that Arabs hold positions of power in all areas.
 
      8. Israel must release all imprisoned Arab terrorists and murderers without any conditions.
 
      9. Israel must turn the Golan Heights over to Syria and allow the Syrian military to take up positions there.
 
      10. Israel must never attack Hizbullah under any circumstances.
 
      11. Israel must unilaterally foreswear development and use of nuclear weapons.
 
      12. Israel must refrain from using any weapons that are controversial, such as cluster bombs.
 
      13. Israel must remove all Jewish symbols from its flag and national anthem.
 
      14. Israel must agree to an unrestricted “right of return” for Arabs wishing to return to pre-1967 Israel.
 
      15. Israel must set up an Arab-language university for its Arab student population, in which Arab nationalism will be the focus of instruction.

Israel is a country that understands security concerns. Many civil rights have been sacrificed in the name of security and Israelis are used to being checked every time they enter a shopping center, a large store or any public building. Americans recently learned that they, too, are subject to many checks on their most private activities.

Without a clear worldview, it is impossible to coherently deal with the challenge of the strategic changes taking place throughout the world – and particularly in the Middle East.

No one can envy President Obama’s current dilemma over Syria.

His decision to begin arming the Syrian rebels challenging Bashar Assad’s regime drew charges that the rebel forces are driven by jihad movements, particularly al Qaeda. Further, many rebel spokesmen have regularly denounced Israel and suggested that once in power they will end Mr. Assad’s policy of not rocking the boat with Israel. How, then, critics ask, could the president align the U.S. with the rebels?

In a gushing report on the election of Hassan Rohani as Iran’s new president, The New York Times began with this: “In a striking repudiation of the ultraconservatives who wield power in Iran, voters…overwhelmingly elected a mild-mannered cleric who advocates greater personal freedoms and a more conciliatory approach to the world.”

Last month in this space we noted that the New York State Assembly was considering legislation that would prohibit domestic insurers from including on their financial statements investments in companies that engage in investment activities in Iran. These financial statements are relied upon by the state to determine whether the company is solvent and able to pay claims. That bill has since passed the Assembly, but the New York State Senate is balking at passing it as well.

There is a widespread misconception that the Middle East conflict is complicated. In fact, it is really rather simple.

Indeed, one can basically summarize and explain the entire conflict in the context of the words “occupation” or “occupied territories” and people’s beliefs about the effects of such “occupation.”
