Secrets
Today we'll take a trip back into politics, a trip triggered by the recent events of the Israeli army crossing back into the Ghaza strip.
The political backing of this move is obscure at best, probably ment to satisfy the bloodthirst of the messianic Gush Khatif movement. But one must wonder why a PM who has promissed unilateral disegagement and peace to his people would understake such a sharonian move.
The answer comes, surprisingly, from the Israel national radio station where one of its brighter commentators notices that in fact Israel has no interest in having peace. His explanation is that the danger of palestinian grenades is far less than the danger of the concessions that Israel would have to make in order to have peace. A peace process is very dangerous to Israel right now.
The withdrawal from Ghaza was a move that upset many people, but it was necessary to control palestinian violence. Now Ghaza has become a huge prison and there's even a wall being built around it. And to add to that, Olmert and Peretz are the proud owners of a Sharonian deception and opressive policy.
Does it serve israelian interests? No, not really. It does serve Gush Khatif interests however, whose extremist goals state that when Israel will own all the land between the Euphrates and the Nile, then the Messiah will return. But it hurts the common working man's desire for peace and stability.
Israel and Palestine each received a block of land to have a state in 1947. The partition act ensured that both countries have a place to leave in peace. Since then, the expansionist military actions backed back by western powers have brought it to be what it is today.
The danger is that the militaristic expansion heralds no pause, no break.
What is the reason behind this?
Is it simply that the israeli's still exploit the promises made to them by the western powers?
Is it that the West shares the Gush Khatif theory about Messia's return?
There are of course other theorys. My favorite, for example, is that without the Palestine conflict, the Israeli government (which, like I previously pointed out, is formed exclusively by former military) would have no reason to continue arms trade and military expenses.
