Jews Rally for What Hamas Resist For

Posted on

We ask you to stand with us as we call for:

* an immediate end to the massacre of the Palestinian people
* an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli troops
* an immediate end to the blockade of Gaza
* immediate steps taken to end the Israeli occupation.

These demands are exactly what resistance, Hamas, called for to stop firing its homemade rockets on Israel. These demands above reflect exactly the meaning of the word “solidarity” when it comes to Gaza, any demonstration or protest is meaningless if it does not call for ALL of these demands.

Notice that it does not call for the opening of Rafah border crossing, for when you end occupation and when you end the blockade of Gaza, you don’t need other people’s help. This is independence, this is self-determination.

This conflict is not between Muslims and Jews as some Westerners and Arabs say, this is a fight between an occupier and resistance. Israel would need to kill 250 million Arabs to kill resistance, Hamas is in all of us.

نداء إلى المدونين والقرّاء العرب: حملة من أجل رفع الحصار عن غزّة

Posted on

إنّ أيّة نداءات لوقف إطلاق النّار والحديث عن فتح المعابر وانسحاب لقوّات الاحتلال الصهيوني لا محلّ له من الإعراب دون الحديث عن رفع كليّ وأبديّ للحصار عن غزّة.

هذه مسألة أساسية لا يجب النزول عنها.

إنّ الحديث عن فتح المعابر والسماح بوصول المساعدات لغزّة يعني أوتوماتيكيّا باستمرار الحصار الصهيوني لأهالي وسكان غزّة.

لا ضرورة لفتح المعابر إن فكّ الحصار من أصله.

إنّ الحصار بحدّ ذاته جريمة حرب ترتكب بحق المدنيين وسكان غزّة.

إنّ المقاومة الفلسطينية الباسلة تستمدّ شرعيّتها في المقاومة في ظلّ وجود هذا الحصار.

إنّ هذا الحصار تماماً هو ما جعل المقاومة تشنّ صواريخها على الدولة الصهيونية والتي تقول الأخيرة أن حربها على المقاومة أتى من أجل وقف الصواريخ.

حماس لن توقف صواريخا إلا إن زال السبب الوحيد في إطلاقها أصلا, اذن لابد من فكّ الحصار أولا, لوقف الصواريخ ثانيا.

إنّ إطلاق الصواريخ على الكيان الصهيوني هو آلية دفاعيّة ضدّ هذا الحصار الإجرامي والخارج عن الشرعية الدوليّة ومعاهدات حقوق الأنسان.

إنّ دم الشهداء والشهيداء من مدنيّين عزّل ومقاومين باسلين سيذهب هدراً, اقول سيذهب هدراُ, إن لم يكن هناك صوت شعبيّ مدوّي من أجل المطالبة وبحزم لرفع الحصار عن أهالي غزة.

إنّ هذا هو التضامن الحقيقيّ والفعليّ لنا نحن شعوب هذه المنطقة بأسرها وعلينا بشنّ حملة قويّة وواسعة للضغط على الحكومات وإحراج ما يسمى بالأمم المتحدة والمجتمع الدوليّ.

إن صوتنا هو توثيق لموقف سياسي, لوجودنا, لما يشعر أهالي المنطقة في ظل لا مصداقية تمثيل الحكومات العربية لنا.

أدعو جميع المدونين والقرّاء بالمشاركة في هذه المسألة المهمّة للغاية لدعم صمود أهالي غزّة ومقاومتهم الباسلة.

لديّ بضع مقترحات:

كتابة بيان عن أهميّة رفع الحصار وأضراره وربطه بالحقّ الشرعي لمقاومته ولا وقف لإطلاق نار دون رفع الحصار كما تطالب المقاومة ذات الصمود التاريخيّ بذلك.

تشكيل موقع عربي احترافي لهذه الحملة.

أن يكون هناك فيديوهات تتضمّن ممثلين عن الدول العربية من مدون أو قارئ ليقرأ البيان.

كل دولة عربية أو أخرى يتمّ تخصيص لها فيديو خاص يتضمن قراءة البيان.

علينا تمثيل جميع الدول العربية عبر ممثلين وممثلات لها مطالبين برفع الحصار عن غزة وربطه كشرط لوقف أطلاق النار.

جمع الفيديوهات ووضعها في الموقع كتمثيل عن موقف الشعوب إزاء هذا الحصار.

علينا العمل بسرعة وتوزيع المهام من خلق الموقع, كتابة البيان, البحث عن ممثلين, وترويج الحملة اعلاميا وامور تفصيلية اخرى.

بشارة: صمود غزة سيرغم إسرائيل على قبول معادلة سياسية

Posted on

بشارة قال إن “المجتمع الدولي” ضيع فرصة تاريخية مع حماس

عبد الجليل البخاري-الدوحة

أكد المفكر العربي عزمي بشارة أن صمود الفلسطينيين في غزة رغم الثمن الباهظ من الشهداء سيفرض على الاحتلال الإسرائيلي القبول بمعادلة سياسية، مشددا على أن تل أبيب تسعى أساسا بحربها لتحجيم حركة المقاومة الإسلامية (حماس) إلى حركة سياسية وتحييدها كحركة مقاومة.

وقال بشارة في محاضرة ألقاها بالدوحة مساء الخميس حول الوضع بغزة إن إسرائيل اختارت توقيت العدوان على غزة لأن ثلاث سنوات من الحصار على القطاع لم تحقق نتيجة.

وأشار بشارة -في هذا اللقاء الذي نظمته المؤسسة العربية للديمقراطية- إلى أن هناك عدة اعتبارات تقف وراء قرار الحرب ضد غزة من بينها الفترة الانتقالية في الرئاسة بالولايات المتحدة، وكذلك الانتخابات التشريعية المقبلة في إسرائيل في فبراير/شباط المقبل.

ولفت إلى أن اليسار الإسرائيلي هو الذي بادر دائما خلال العقود الماضية بشن الحروب لاستغلال ذلك في منافسة اليمين وكسب أصوات إضافية في الانتخابات.

وانتقد المفكر العربي من جهة أخرى دول “محور الاعتدال الديمقراطي” بالمنطقة لانضمامها إلى “معسكر معاداة حماس رغم أن الحركة لم تمنح الفرصة المطلوبة” بعد فوزها في الانتخابات التشريعية الفلسطينية في يناير/كانون الثاني 2006.

وأضاف أن “معسكر التسوية العربي لا يستوعب أن إسرائيل تعتبر أمنها الحدودي فوق أي اعتبار وأفضل لها من أي علاقات عربية”.

وانتقد في هذا الإطار موقف مصر من الاعتداءات الإسرائيلية وقضية معبر رفح قائلا “المفروض أن مصر هي عمق تاريخي للمقاومة الفلسطينية”.

فرصة تاريخية

وفي المقابل قال بشارة إن المجتمع الدولي ضيع فرصة تاريخية بعدم إعطاء حماس فرصة للتعامل معها باعتبار أنها “تمثل” الإسلام السياسي وجزءا من المقاومة الفلسطينية”.

ولاحظ في هذا الإطار أن لجوء إسرائيل إلى الأسلوب الاستعماري بفرض حصار مشدد على القطاع فرض على الفلسطينيين المقاومة بكافة الوسائل، متسائلا في هذا السياق عن جدوى الحديث عن “التهدئة في ظل ذلك الحصار”.

واعتبر أن الاعتداءات الإسرائيلية على القطاع خلقت شعورا عميقا بالظلم والغبن لدى العالم العربي من الخليج إلى المحيط، مضيفا أن المظاهرات العربية العارمة جددت التأكيد على أن “الهوية العربية والإسلام يتميزان بالتكامل”. كما أثارت مجددا مسألة “المصداقية بين الشعوب العربية والأنظمة”.

Daniel Day-Lewis on Gaza

Posted on

Amazing article written by Daniel Day-Lewis on the war crimes committed by the Israeli apartheid state via its occupation forces.

Here are extracts from his five pages article:

This is a state of apartheid. It’s taken me less than a week to lose impartiality. In doing so, I may as well be throwing stones at tanks.

In the Gaza Strip the Israeli army reacts to stone-throwing with bullets. It responds to the suicide bombs and attacks of Palestinian militants by bulldozing houses and olive groves in the search for the perpetrators, to punish their families, and to set up buffer zones to protect Israeli settlements. It bars access to villages, and multiplies checkpoints, cutting Gaza’s population off from the outside world. MSF’s psychologists are trying to help Palestinian families cope with the stress of living within these confines; visiting them, treating severe trauma and listening to their stories. Their visits are the only sign sometimes that they have not been abandoned.

Israel’s tanks and armour-plated bulldozers can come with no warning, often at night. The noise alone, to a people who have been forced to suffer these violations year after year, is enough to freeze the soul. Israeli snipers position themselves on rooftops. Householders are ordered to leave; they haven’t even the time to collect pots and pans, papers and clothes before the bulldozers crush the unprotected buildings like dinosaurs trampling on eggs — sometimes first mashing one into another, then covering the remains with a scoop of earth. Those caught in the incursion zone will be fired on. Even those cowering inside their houses may be shot at or shelled through walls, windows and roofs. The white flag carried by humanitarian workers gives little protection; we’ll have warning shots fired at us twice before the week is out.

Sometimes a family will not leave an area that is being cleared, believing if they do leave they will lose everything. It is a huge risk to remain. Sometimes a house is left standing, singled out for occupation by Israeli troops. The family is forced to remain as protection for the soldiers. Last year an average of 120 houses were demolished each month, leaving 1,207 homeless every month. In the past four years 28,483 Gazans have been forcibly evicted; over half of Gaza’s usable land, mainly comprising citrus-fruit orchards, olive groves and strawberry beds, has been destroyed. Last year, 658 Palestinians were killed in the violence in Gaza, and dozens of Israelis. This ploughing under, house by house, orchard by orchard, reduces community to wasteland, strewn and embedded with a stunted crop of broken glass and nails, books, abandoned possessions. As we weave our way towards the home of Abu Saguer and his family — one of several families we will visit today — we are treading on shattered histories and aspirations.

[...]

The late Lieutenant-General Rafael Eitan, the former chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), once likened the Palestinian people to “drugged cockroaches scurrying in a bottle”. In 1980 he told his officers: “We have to do everything to make them so miserable they will leave.” He opposed all attempts to afford them autonomy in the occupied territories. Twenty- five years on, it seems to me that his attitude and policy have been applied with great gusto. Every movement here in any of the so-called sensitive areas, which account for a large, ever-increasing proportion of the Strip (borders, settlements, checkpoints), is surveyed and reacted to by a system of watchtowers.

These sinister structures cast the shadows of malign authority across the land. On our third day, as we stood at the tattered edge of the refugee camp at Rafah, the forbidding borderland between Gaza and Egypt, bullets bit into the sand a yard and a half from where we stood. It was in this place — was it from the same watchtower? — that Iman el-Hams, a defenceless 13-year-old schoolgirl, had been shot just weeks before. She ran and tried to hide from the pitiless death that came for her. I felt her presence; the sky vibrating with the shallow, fluttering breath of her final terror.

[...]

Soldier on guard: “We have identified someone on two legs 100 metres from the outpost.
Soldier in lookout: “A girl about 10.” (By now, soldiers in the outpost are shooting at the girl.)

Soldier in lookout: “She is behind the trench, half a metre away, scared to death. The hits were right next to her, a centimetre away.”

Captain R’s signalman: “We shot at her, yes, she is apparently hit.”

Captain R: “Roger, affirmative. She has just fallen. I and a few other soldiers are moving forward to confirm the kill.”

Soldier at lookout: “Hold her down, hold her down. There’s no need to kill her.”

Captain R (later): “…We carried out the shooting and killed her… I confirmed the kill… [later]… Commanding officer here, anyone moving in the area, even a three-year-old kid, should be killed, over.”

A military inquiry decided that the captain had “not acted unethically”. He still faces criminal charges. Two soldiers who swore they saw him deliberately shoot her in the head, empty his gun’s entire magazine into her inert body, now say they couldn’t see if he deliberately aimed or not; another is sticking to his damning testimony.

عزمي بشارة يكتب عن الأهداف الإسرائيلية من العدوان

Posted on

عزمي بشارة

من أغرب ما سمع من كلام السياسة حتى في أيام غرائبية كالتي نعيش ولا يُستغرَبُ فيها أمرٌ بسهولة، ما كرره المسؤولون الإسرائيليون كما تُنشَد لازمة في نشيد الموت.. هكذا تكلم أولمرت، ومن بعده ليفني حتى آخر القوم:
أ- “لسنا ضد الشعب الفلسطيني، نحن ضد حماس.. هذه ليست حربا ضد الفلسطينيين، بل حرب ضد حماس”.
ب- “نحن لسنا أعداء، بل لدينا نفس الأعداء: حماس وحزب الله وغيرهما”.

والحقيقة أن أهداف هذه الحرب العدوانية على قطاع غزة لا تختلف كثيرا عن سجالها العلني، فالقصف الجوي والقصف الإعلامي -صناعة الموت وصناعة الأجواء- ليسا مختلفين كثيرا كما يبدو.

تفضح اللازمة “ب” الحساب الإسرائيلي المعلن بوجود حلف موضوعي على الأقل، أو وجود محور إقليمي يضم دولا عربية وإسرائيل يشترك في نفس الأعداء، وهذا منطق المحاور على أية حال. ولكن ما يرشح قبل التصريحات العلنية وبعدها، أن المحور ليس موضوعيا فحسب، ولا لقاء مصالح فقط. بهذا ننتهي من هذه الفكرة التي سبق أن تطرقنا لها.

ولكن ماذا تعني مقولة إسرائيل: ليست (أو كما سُمِعَت: نحن لسنا) ضد الفلسطينيين؟ بحسب هذا المنطق لا يوجد استعمار ضد شعب من الشعوب، فهو فقط يريد بلد هذا الشعب، ويريد سلبه ثروته وإرادته، وإذا خضع لهذا المصير “المقدَّر” له، فلا أحد ضده.

تبرز “المشكلة” إذا قاوم الشعب هذا المصير الذي يراد له. ولكن حتى عندها يدعي المستعمِر أنه ضد المقاومة والمتطرفين الذين يحملون الفكرة ويمارسونها، وليس ضد الشعب نفسه. وعندما يقوم بمحاربة المقاومة ويقصف المدنيين والناس دون تمييز، فذلك ليس لأنه ضدهم بل لأن المقاومة تعيش وتسكن بينهم، وعلى الشعب أن يتحمل القصف صامتا، فهو ليس موجها ضده، ولا ضد أطفاله الذين سقطوا، بل ضد المقاومة التي أنجبها.

المقاومون هم من أبناء الشعب، وليسوا جيشا منفصلا عنه في معسكرات، وطبيعي أن يعيشوا بين صفوفه. وإذا كان هذا صحيحا في كل مكان فإنه في غزة أمر مسلمٌ به، لأن غزة عبارة عن معسكر اعتقال مكتظ ومزدحم ومغلق، يعيش فيه الناس دونما تمييز بين غني وفقير، ومقاوم وغير مقاوم، ومنتم لحماس وغير منتم لها. لا غابة ولا جبل ولا نهر، ولا مناطق محيَّدة يلجأ إليها الناس كما في لبنان. وحتى عندما يكون القصف غير عشوائي في غزة، فإنه يكون عشوائيا بالنتيجة.. لا يمكن للحرب على غزة إلا أن تكون جريمة حرب.

هذه حرب على معسكر اعتقال، تتواصل فيها غارات على “غيتو” ضخم، تستخدم فيها طائرات “أف15″ و”أف16″. كان هذا الفعل بحد ذاته غير ممكن التصور قبل عشر سنوات، كان بحد ذاته غير ممكن التنفيذ دوليا.. لقد صنع باراك هذه السابقة في بداية الانتفاضة الثانية.

إنها أجبن حرب في التاريخ الإسرائيلي، وربما في التاريخ الحديث. لا توجد دولة استعمارية تستخدم هذا النوع من السلاح ضد هذا النوع من الأهداف. وعلى وقع الانفجارات تطلع علينا وزيرة خارجية إسرائيل الطموحة لتخاطب الفلسطينيين كمشاهدين وفي فمها كلام من نوع “لسنا ضدكم”.. يا للهول!!

سلبت إسرائيل وطن الشعب الفلسطيني، وقد شردته في كافة أصقاع الأرض ليس لأنها ضده، بل فقط لأنها تريد وطنه، وهو لا يريد أن يتنازل بطيبة خاطر.. هذا كل شيء، ولكنها ليست ضده. ولو خضع وقبل بأن يمنح وطنه عن طيبة خاطر، فلن يصيبه منها حربٌ ولا قتال.

ولو قبلت المقاومة بمضاعفة الاستيطان بعد أوسلو، وباستمرار تهويد القدس، وبالانسحاب من طرف واحد من غزة مع بقائها مطوقة كالسجن، لما كانت هناك مشكلة إسرائيلية مع غزة. ولو انتخب الشعب الفلسطيني من أرادته إسرائيل أن يُنتخب عام 2006 لما نشأت مشكلة.

ثم.. وبعد هذه الانتخابات، لو قبل الشعب الفلسطيني بالحصار التجويعي راضيًا باعتباره نتيجة منطقية للانتخابات، ولو استنتج من هذا الحصار النتائج المرجوة منها وأطاح بمن انتخب، ولو اعتبر حماس هي سبب الحصار وليس من يفرض الحصار.. لما كانت هناك مشكلة بين إسرائيل والقطاع.. هذا هو منطق القصف الإعلامي الإسرائيلي الذي يرافق القصف الوحشي على قطاع غزة، (وربما اجتياحها مع نشر هذه السطور).

وهو -على فظاعته- يحظى أن يكرره البعض بالعربية بين السطور، وهو منطق يتضمن هدف العدوان. والهدف هو قبول الشعب الفلسطيني بالشروط الإسرائيلية في حال التوصل إلى تسوية، وبالاستكانة والهدوء في حال عدم وجود تسوية.

لا مشكلة مع “شريك عربي” في تسوية يقبل فيها بشروط إسرائيل التاريخية، ولا مع خصم هادئ يرضى على الأقل بموازين القوى، فيعيش ويترك الناس تعيش في ظل الاحتلال والظلم، ويرفض التسوية نظريا فقط، أما عمليا فينشغل عن الصراع مع إسرائيل بقضايا “أكثر أهمية” مثل الحفاظ على سلطته.

لا يهم إسرائيل كثيرا من يحكم القطاع داخليا بعدما انسحبت منه، ما دام يقبل بالشروط الإسرائيلية في حالة تسوية، أو بالهدوء في حالة عدم التوصل إلى التسوية.

لقد فُرِض الحصار التجويعي فعلا، وكان على حماس -من وجهة نظر المطالبين بعودة “التهدئة” حاليا- أن تقبل بالهدوء ليس فقط دون زوال الاحتلال، وليس فقط مع استمرار الاغتيالات في الضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة، بل حتى دون فك الحصار.

انتقلت إسرائيل إلى استخدام السلاح وهي تهدف من ذلك إلى تقويض قوة حماس أو إجبارها على القبول بالشروط الإسرائيلية. ولا يهم إسرائيل أي الهدفين يتحقق قبل الآخر، فإذا قبلت حماس بشروط إسرائيل تكون جحافل باراك قد عادت بإنجاز، وإذا أصرت على عدم القبول فسيتابع الجيش الإسرائيلي مهمته حتى يعود بإنجاز ملموس، ولو على شكل عملية “كوماندوز” برية كما يحب باراك بموجب سيرته العسكرية.. المهم أن تعود بصور اغتيالات واعتقالات ناجحة لقيادات.

>إذا توقفت إسرائيل رغم استمرار القدرة لدى حماس على إطلاق الصواريخ، فهذا يعني أن حربها الجبانة فشلت.

ولكن لا يمكن “للترويكا” الإسرائيلية الحالية وقف القتال والعودة دون أنجاز، إلا إذا فرض عليها ذلك بالقتال والخسائر أو بغيرها.

وإذا لم يتحقق أحد الهدفين أعلاه دون عملية برية فسيدخلون ولو على شكل إنزالات واجتياحات انتقائية.. يريدون صور انتصار على شكل استسلام علني أو اعتقال وانهيار علني، وهذا ليس بالأمر السهل التحقيق، وإذا لم تأت هذه الصور فسيكونون في وضع حرج.

بغض النظر عن الأهداف التي وضعت إسرائيليا، فإن وضاعة الحرب ونوع الخصم لا يبشر بخير لإسرائيل، فجلد الماء لا يوقف النهر، ولن تحقق إسرائيل هدفا ملموسا من هذه الحرب. وما أنجز حتى الآن هو خسارة “محور الاعتدال” عربيا.

ترغب إسرائيل في استعادة هيبة الردع أيضا، لكن الهدف سهل من الجو، وأي قنبلة تلقى على حي مكتظ تقتل وتدمر.. الثمن رخيص والحرب جبانة، ليس فيها بطولة، ولا يستعيد فيها أي جيش هيبته.

وحتى المديح الذي تكيله وسائل الإعلام الإسرائيلية لإيهود باراك على المكر والدهاء ما هو إلا خداع للذات، فقد كان الجميع يعلم أن إسرائيل تستعد لشن عملية عسكرية ضد غزة، بل وكتبت الصحف الإسرائيلية عن عملية قادمة خلال أيام. ولكن ماذا تفعل غزة حتى لو علمت؟ هل تعلن عن حالة تأهب في صفوف جيشها الجرار، أم تموه قواتها الجوية طائراتها في المطارات؟ نحن نتحدث عن حي فقير، عن مخيم لاجئين كبير ليس فيه حتى ملاجئ.

وسائل الإعلام الإسرائيلية التي تكيل المديح لدهاء باراك هي نفسها التي تتحول إلى جوقة تطبيل وتزمير في بداية كل حرب، ثم تنقلب على المسؤول فقط إذا فشل في تحقيق الأهداف. أما إذا ارتكب جرائم ونجح فلا بأس، المهم ألا يفشل، وألا يسقط الكثير من الإسرائيليين بحيث يتحول النجاح إلى فشل. ولا ينقلب الإعلام الإسرائيلي على حكومة تشن حربا إلا إذا فشلت الحرب في تحقيق أهدافها، أو إذا كانت الخسائر بالجنود مرتفعة.. عدد الضحايا من الفلسطينيين لا يهم هؤلاء.

جاء رد الفعل الشعبي العربي على الحرب سريعا، وفاق التصورات، فهو غاضب ناقم لا يعتبر الحرب شطارة أو بطولة إسرائيلية كما اعتبر حروبا سابقة، بل يعتبرها جريمة ضد المدنيين. كما لا يأبه بإدانات جزء كبير من النظام الرسمي العربي لهذه الحرب، ويصر على مقولة التواطؤ.

لقد صاحب بعض الإدانات العربية العلنية جملا علنية أخرى تتضمن تعبيرا عن رغبة في البناء على انتصار إسرائيلي، مثل قبول الشروط الإسرائيلية لفتح معبر رفح، أو رهن فتحه بالاعتراف بانتصار إسرائيلي، ومثل التمني العلني غير المفهوم بأن تكون هذه الحرب “خيرا” إذا استنتج منها من يتعرض للحرب ضرورة توحيد الصفوف.. ولماذا لا يستنتج البعض الذي لا يتعرض للحرب توحيد الصفوف مع من يتعرض لها في مقاومة المعتدي؟! لماذا يجب أن يكون الاستنتاج توحيد الصفوف في الاستسلام؟! ولما يجب أن يستنتج منها المعتدى عليه وليس من يبني على التسوية مع هذا المعتدي الذي لم يعطه شيئا؟!

حتى لو صدقت تمنيات المعتدين المستعمرين وصدقت أحلام حلفائهم، فإن كل ما يمكن أن تفرضه إسرائيل بعد هذه الحرب لا يحظى بشرعية، ولذلك لا يمكن أن يعمِّر.

وبالعكس، فبعض القوى التي أسست موقفها على واقعية الشارع وبراغماتية القبول بموازين القوى إزاء مشاهد القصف فقدت شرعيتها في ظل القصف الإسرائيلي.. أقول: فقدت شرعيتها بصيغة الفعل الماضي، وليس ستفقد هذه الشرعية.

وبقي أن تدرك هذه القوى أن الحسابات القصيرة النفس في إسرائيل والمسماة “توفير الأمن للمستوطنات”، أو “أمن حدودنا الشمالية”، أو “ضمان أمن القرى الحدودية”، هي أكثر أهمية وإستراتيجية لها من قوة وشرعية ما يسمى معسكر الاعتدال عربيا.. وأن هذه ليست مزايدة انتخابية لكسب بضعة مقاعد في انتخابات الكنيست.

(ملاحظة: من باب الرمزية الغرائبية الفاقعة أن المقاعد التي أضافها حزب العمل على دم الفلسطينيين مع ازدياد شعبيته قليلا بعد العدوان بموجب الاستطلاعات، يشغلها عربيان من الداخل، فالعرب المستفيدون من العدوان من المنتمين لمعسكر الاعتدال موجودون في كل مكان).

حساب المقاعد البرلمانية وارد في حسابات وزراء العمل وكاديما عند شن الحرب بالطبع، ولكنه ليس الحساب الأساسي.. هذه مسألة أمن قومي إسرائيلي تجمع عليه القوى السياسية الإسرائيلية يسارها ويمينها. وقوة الردع والجدار الحديدي العسكري يأتي في إسرائيل قبل التسوية وقبل التفاهم مع “قوى الاعتدال”.

وهذا ليس موقف اليمين الإسرائيلي كما يعتقد البعض، بل هو موقف إجماع قومي تختلف إسرائيل على أساسه (وليس عليه)، وتنقسم حول ضرورة إجراء بعض التنازلات الإقليمية في ظله من عدمها، كما تنقسم حول واقعية التسوية السياسية.
