"Know your enemy
, and know yourself. Even if you fight a hundred battles, you will never be defeated. If you do not know the enemy but you know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If you do not know your enemy and do not know yourself - no doubt To be defeated in all battles "(Sun Deja," The Art of War ").
Fortunately, Mansour Abbas did not lead the Arabs of the country in 1948.
Abbas would accept the partition plan and within a year the Jewish enclave would be wiped out.
Kaput goes.
Abbas is a definite disciple of Sheikh Nimer Darwish, who was a definite disciple of Hassan al-Banna, the father of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Make no mistake - even for the southern faction, Islam is the solution, Israel is "circumstantial" and its land is "Rabat", meaning a Muslim sanctuary.
Abbas the good policeman, Ibrahim Hajazi the bad policeman.
Mansour Abbas is probably the smartest Arab politician to ever step into the arena.
To paraphrase Abba Even, Abbas is the first Arab to miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
Ben-Gurion was right, in the Negev he will be tested.
In the Negev, the future of the Jewish state will be decided.
Yes, that much.
A real existential threat, no less than an Iranian nuclear issue.
The spreading Bedouin diaspora causes Israeli sovereignty to scream from the hole like a mouse with a madness of greatness.
A wild takeover from Yatir Forest on the slopes of the southern Hebron Mountains to the outskirts of the western Negev.
This map creates a huge stain in a direct line from Judea and Samaria to Gaza. Bedouin autonomy takes shape.
You understand the strategic significance.
Also in the Galilee the Arab majority.
The Jews gathered in the center.
At the time, the Green Patrolmen said of themselves that they were like the Dutch boy with his finger in the dam, only that they were standing with their finger and the dam had already fled.
Under the auspices of Social Security, the Bedouin in the Negev are reaching the highest polygamy rate in the world.
We pay Social Security for Bedouin bachelors.
Single mothers?
Real as pink unicorns.
And that's not to mention the rampant crime.
We are now in a state of emergency.
On Wednesday evening, Channel 13 reported that Abbas' pressure for the first time caused a complete cessation of tree planting in the Negev.
The Netanyahu-Gantz government had a temporary halt, but planting in large areas continued throughout that time.
This week, for the first time, because of Abbas' pressure, the plantings were completely stopped.
Let's be orderly and be fair.
The change government inherited a wild Negev.
Netanyahu is as responsible as his predecessors before him.
The land problem has been with us since the 1960s.
By the way, she also bothered the Ottomans.
But having said that, it should be honestly noted that over the years Netanyahu's governments have made three attempts (Prawer, Benny Begin, Amidror) to reach a settlement with the Bedouin diaspora that failed, and at the same time enforcement operations against illegal construction intensified.
And yes, also strategic plantings with huge investment to protect state lands.
This week it's over.
RAAM controls.
And now, at your disposal, a chronicle of ongoing folly.
In the 1970s, the state centralized all the "ownership claims" of the Negev, without permits and without proof, just for the purpose of registering all the claims.
The Bedouin, on the other hand, saw the registration of state recognition of their claims.
In 2007, a committee headed by Judge Eliezer Goldberg was established. By and large, Goldberg abandoned the old notion that sought to settle the Bedouin in existing and regulated localities in favor of whitewashing illegal construction in the diaspora (50,000 homes to be connected to infrastructure) and the state raised a white flag. According to the conclusions, the Bedouin were to receive in the Tabu 50 percent of the lands on which they claim ownership, as well as monetary compensation for the rest of the land in order to free up lands for the purpose of settling other Bedouins.
The country dropped to four, you would expect the Bedouin to jump on the generous offer. This is, no, the Bedouin belong to the George Bernard Shaw School. Once the principle has been decided upon it remains only to argue about the price. And the Bedouin wanted and want more. After all, to this day the country has folded and proved the flexibility of a rubber girl. If in the 1970s there was talk of 20 percent compensation for property claims (before the rule of law because most claims were rejected in the courts), since Goldberg there has been talk of 50 percent of the land and generous compensation. This is the starting point for negotiations.
And even if they agreed to the proposals, they are not applicable.
Even today, in dozens of Bedouin localities, there are empty plots just waiting to be populated.
Developed plots, 400 meters, half an acre, a dream of every young couple.
Why are they empty?
Because for the Bedouin the land "bronze" and the woman are one.
Honor to death.
There is no chance of seeing a Bedouin from one tribe sitting on the land of another Bedouin, even if it has been compromised and compensated by the state.
In the Bedouin towns there are thousands of plots of land after parcelling.
Empty.
But 45 percent of the territories are in a "claim of ownership."
In his testimony before the Goldberg Commission
, the head of the Unrecognized Villages Council - Hussein Abu Pia - explained the taboo: "If it belongs to a person who is in a claim of ownership, he will not approach. He will not dare. Even sitting in a cave he will not approach."
The surrender of the state only added to the territorial appetite.
Promiscuous agreements in which families were promised plots even to children who were still minors.
Plots stand empty, waiting for a child.
Understand?
Your cute kids, who made an army of glory, can not dare to fantasize about such a dream deal.
No series will happen.
For the Bedouin there is only one option.
Surrender of the state.
Over the past decade and a half, I have dealt with the Negev more than once, but not enough.
Much less than my friend Kalman Liebskind who became a real expert, a real secret pit and for that he should be greatly appreciated.
I remember how we came back together from the Negev in April 2011. That was after the publication of the Prawer outline.
It was like returning from a meeting to a community, a convening of a shtetl sewer committee.
His son is a magnificent outline but no Bedouin wanted to live in it.
On the way we talked about the words of the late Major General Benny Peled, who in July 2002, ten minutes before soaring into the great hangar in the sky, instructed his children: “Go out and ring the bell given to me by the Navy commander.
When they asked you why you were ringing, they replied that a crazy Jew had died here, who thought that the Jews were capable of establishing a state - and he was wrong. "
I understood then what I understand today and I probably suppressed
it.
It is either a total surrender of the state to the Bedouin and the establishment of a Bedouin autonomy between the southern Hebron Mountains and Gaza, or a bloody clash.
And sorry for the pessimism.
A pleasant omicron.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
