Israels nya försvarsminister Moshe “Bogie” Ya’alon

Jerusalem Post skriver i sin ledare om Israels nya försvarsminister Moshe “Bogie” Ya’alon.
Ya'alon har åsikter om hur relationerna till de palestinska araberna skall byggas upp.
 
 "...Instead, argued Ya’alon, Israel must embark on a “bottom up” strategy. Before peace can be achieved with the Palestinians, Israel must first help them establish a stable society established on a solid economic, political and security basis. More important, Palestinians must reconcile themselves to Israel’s existence and recognize Israel’s right to exist as a uniquely Jewish state. It is not enough, noted Ya’alon, for the Palestinians to support two states between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, when one is Palestinian and the other is a bi-national state devoid of Jewish identity.

 ...At the same time, Ya’alon also supports in principle ending Israel’s control over the Palestinians and establishing a new, safer and more stable order west of the Jordan River. But only once the foundations of the establishment of this new order are in place. Only once Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas recognizes the Jewish people’s historic ties to the Land of Israel.

Only once schools stop teaching Palestinian children to hate Israel and the official Palestinian media stop inciting against Zionism and misrepresenting places such as Haifa, Acre and Jaffa as integral parts of Palestine. Only once corruption is eradicated and Palestinians’ basic rights – such as freedom of the press – are protected by the Palestinian Authority."
