Jewish survival strategy should have three main goals: First, to break up the unholy alliance between "globalism" and Islam. Like Israel, the West has not yet understood that Islam glorifies territorial expanion and war. Islam has no long-term interest in any hegemonic structure it does not control. Globalism played into its hands by causing the West to abandon sensible immigration policies, thus greatly increasing the Moslem populations of Europe and North America. Wherever these are there is unrest. The writing on the wall is there, but the greed of Western business tycoons blinds them to everything but their profits. Today, the West's most serious problem is that the Moslem states are aware of Western greed and its political repercussions. They have very good reason to believe they will not be punished for increasing their military, political and economic capacity to a point at which they can blackmail the West into accepting their political, economic or cultural demands.
Instead of fawning on Moslem states trying to destroy it, Israel should concentrate most of its information efforts on the dangers of the above situation to the West and on urging it NOT to aid these states militarily or economically, explaining why in detail. The risks of doing so are less than the risks of ignoring reality.
Israel's second strategic goal should be to retain the territory it controls today and prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. The PLO is terrorist, corrupt and unfit for sovereignty. No other Palestinian body is likely to be better. And all will insist on the "right of return." Begin should have made the signing of a peace treaty with Egypt conditional on Egypt repudiating this Palestinian "right". When Egypt rejected this, he should have accepted Sadat's "no more war" (i.e. non-belligerency) but not made "peace". Today, the Egyptians openly back the "right of return" knowing well it will destroy Israel. The "peace treaty" with them is no more than a shaky non-belligerency agreement likely to collapse the moment the United States ceases to subsidize the regime in Cairo. Begin's mistake was compounded by Rabin, Beilin and Peres when they agreed to discuss the "right of return" within the framework of the Oslo agreement. A self-respecting state does not agree to discuss its suicide. Ehud Barak and Israel paid the price.
Finally, Israel's third and most important strategic goal should be to reduce the Arab population of Palestine — on both sides of the green line. Given the present attitudes of Israeli Moslem Arabs, the concept of separation makes security sense only if Israel is separated from them too. They have carried out terrorist acts and participated in terrorism initiated by the Palestinian Authority. At least 70% of them identify with the goal of the PLO and Syria to destroy Israel. Their Knesset Members travel to Syria and Gaza to say so in public to Syrian and PLO leaders. The Druze of pre-1967 Israel should stay because most of them are still loyal. So should the Christian Arabs, whose hostility in the majority of cases is due to their fear of the Moslems and may well disappear when most of the Moslems leave. However, the Moslem Arabs of Palestine should be given every incentive to emigrate.
Since Israel cannot afford to die by demography and must do something about this quickly, this matter should be seriously discussed with the West, which saw nothing wrong with moving populations en masse in Europe (Germans and Serbs in particular) — when this suited its interests. The US and the Europeans fear the Moslems yet have done everything possible to strengthen them — not only by preventing Israel from reaping political and territorial benefits from victories in wars the Arabs started, but also by permitting the expropriation of oil and gas resources discovered by Western business interests in Moslem states and by irresponsible immigration policies creating centers of ethno-religious tensions in their own countries. Islam is a religion bent on expansion and has been gaining adherents rapidly. It will continue to do so because it thrives on violence. And Israel's most important strategic goal should be to promote cooperation among non-Moslem states to check and reverse the territorial and demographical growth of Islam.
