The Day After israel

On December 27, 2008, when the Israeli society began its savage attack on Gaza, it died. On October 16, 2009, the UN Human Rights commission placed the tombstone over Israel when it defined that state as a terrorist entity. The details of what will happen now are unclear, but the path is well defined. The UN General Assembly may accept the Goldstone Report and place war crimes charges against Israeli political and military figures at the International Court of Justice. In order to add an historical dimension to the event, the trials should take place in Nuremberg. Moreover, the UN gave conditioned sovereignty to Israel; since the last failed to fulfill the imposed conditions, the sovereignty should be taken back. I described – in very broad lines – a possible scenario of the coming events in a series of articles named: Defeating Israel.

What will happen the day after? Probably the Palestinians would declare independence; their right to do so was established by the UN on the same day it did so for Israel. The new state would include all the territories west of the Jordan River. After all, Palestinians built most of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, Beer Sheva and the Jewish settlements.

What will happen to the Jewish population? I believe the Palestinians would offer citizenship to those former Israeli citizens who didn’t take part in war crimes. Those who did would be judged; a proper punishment would be sentencing them to forced works building the institutions of the new state. I also believe most Jews would decide to leave the Middle East. Is the international community ready to deal with several million refugees? Should this community allow former Israeli citizens to apply for refugee status considering the antecedent that the state of Israel actively persecuted and attacked those of its citizens that got refuge elsewhere? Let’s say the international community decides to behave properly and deny refugee status to those former citizens of the State of Israel that didn’t actively oppose the criminal regime. These unrecognized refugees would settle down on camps along borderline zones; I can imagine a few in the Sinai Desert.

That’s not all. There would be a problem with the many Israeli citizens enjoying double citizenship. Let me expand on a typical and important example. Benjamin Netanyahu apparently has an American citizenship. He claims to have renounced it before its first round a Prime Minister, but he never provided any proofs of that. At the same time, Yedihot Aharonot (the largest Hebrew newspaper) claimed he was a CIA agent, trained in his long years in the US. He claims he was a furniture dealer during that period, but considering his position as a heir to the Mishpaha Lohemet, also this claim is dubious – to say the least. Tsahi Hanegbi was said, by the same newspaper, to have a “black box” of data proving Netanyahu’s anomalous affiliations. Being Hanegbi another member of the Mishpaha Lohemet – and thus beyond the reach of the Mossad assassination teams – he became a minister in Netanyahu’s government, giving credibility to the unproven claims. In any case, this group would pose a new threat. More
