The world has suffered for decades from the
unsolvable "Middle East and Palestine issue". Why hasn't anyone managed to solve the problem yet?
The root of the problem: The Palestinians want back the land
that was robbed from them in 1948.The Israelis do not want
to return it, claiming that it was "lawfully granted
to them by the United Nations".
The existence of a "Jewish State" is a historical
mistake, and it is an injustice that increasing numbers of
people are no longer willing to accept. The Zionist "government" has
forfeited its right to exist.
There is actually no longer a state, but only a "problem". An unsolvable Middle East problem, which threatens the entire
world with destruction. The danger resulting from this problem
may lead to the greatest catastrophe in human history, if
we do not intervene.
The problem can only be solved peacefully and permanently,
in our opinion, through the following simple steps:
1) The State of "Israel" must be dissolved. The
UN decision of 1947 to partition Palestine and create the
State of Israel must be recognized as a mistake, and undone.
2) The Palestinian people must take full sovereignty over
the entire land of Palestine.
3) Jews who already live in Palestine may remain in the country
under Palestinian rule, and may request that the Palestinians
grant them equal citizenship.
4) Implementation: The UN should prepare laws that regulate
the execution of the above process so that it should be as
equitable, humane and painless as possible. A sufficiently
long time must be allotted for the process to take place.
We have reached the point at which Jews and Arabs seem to
have in common only their pent-up hatred against each other
and longing for revenge. But they must try from now on to
live together in mutual respect.

This solution seems, at first glance, revolutionary, sensational,
perhaps even utopian. But it is the only solution that affords
a real prospect of success and a way out of this otherwise
insolvable crisis. All other "plans" and "solutions" lead
nowhere.
Let's look at the exceptional advantages that will be achieved
by following the above plan:
1. The continuing threats posed to the world from the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, Iran's nuclear threat, Israel's nuclear threat,
Israel's threat to bomb Iran and more will be removed from
the world.
2. The oppression of the Palestinian people at the hands
of the "State of Israel" will come to an end. Human
dignity and livelihood will be restored to them once again.
3. The global threat of rising anti-Semitism, wanted and
coldly calculated by the Zionists from their inception, will
come to an end, since its main cause is the atrocities currently
perpetrated by the Zionists against their Arab "subjects".
4. The astronomical sums spent by the U.S. and other countries
each year to support and arm the Israeli state will become
available for use to implement peace in the region.
5. Many countries, most notably the U.S., will become free
from the powerful Zionist Lobby. These countries will be
free to make their own decisions as to what best serves their
interests, without having to depend on the goodwill and consent
of the lobby.

The political background and motivation of this plan is
simple, logical, and self-evident. But even from the religious
Jewish perspective, this plan is logical and compelling.
In fact, from this perspective no other solution is possible
or conceivable.
Consider the following remarks on religious Jewish thought:
Religious Judaism and the Land of Israel
Two thousand years ago, the Jews were sent into exile by
God's decree, where they must remain until they are redeemed
by God, as He has assured them through the prophets. The
idea of a return to the country prematurely, without divine
redemption, is wrong. In view of this, the Land of Israel
belongs to those who have lived there for hundreds of years:
the Palestinians.
The idea of a premature return was first conceived of by
the Zionists, who at the beginning were a small Godless group,
completely rejected by mainstream Jewry. They forced their
plan upon the Jewish world through years of political maneuvering.
Their slogan was that the Jewish people would finally stop
waiting for divine salvation. "It is now time to take
our destiny into our own hands," they said. "We
must forget our past; we must leave behind the Divine message
and the ancient role of the Jewish people in the world. Israel,
the people of the Bible, must be transformed into a secular
nation."
The majority of the Jewish people resisted this idea vehemently
and wanted to know nothing of the Zionists' solution and
their Zionist state. Thus Zionism went forward in the face
of the strong opposition of the vast majority of Jews.
Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust
The level of anti-Semitism in the world has now reached such
proportions as we have known only in the years immediately
before the outbreak of World War II. It is fueled by the
Zionist atrocities against the Palestinian population. Eighty
years ago, anti-Semitism was instigated and fanned by the
Zionists. They cleverly organized defamation campaigns against
the Jews of Europe, with the aim of causing the ground to
burn under their feet, so that they should feel the need
to flee and take refuge in the new "Jewish State ". It worked then, and it works again today.
We look at today's Zionist activity in consternation, yet
the Zionists tell the world that it is a duty and an honor
to support their movement in any way. Whoever is negligent
in this duty or, worse yet, exposes something about the Zionists,
is branded an 'anti-Semite'.
For this purpose, the Zionists have built a global lobby
which, especially armed with the Holocaust card, is able
to stifle any attempted criticism of Israel.
How the "Israeli state" was Founded
After the great destruction of the Jews in Europe, the Jews
were rootless and bleeding. For the most part, they succumbed
to the thoughts and plans of the Zionists and willingly followed
them into their so-called Promised Land. Only a small part,
in particular the faithfully religious affiliated Jews, did
not follow and have remained to this day bitter enemies of
their idea and their state.
The international community, out of compassion and a sense
of duty, perhaps even a sense of guilt, agreed to the idea
of a refuge and permanent homeland for the broken and uprooted
Jewish people. For this the international community deserves
recognition, praise and gratitude.
The idea to use Palestine for this homeland seemed right
and logical at the time, and was implemented in the historic
UN decision of 1947. But this decision brought with it an
equally historic injustice: the country was simply robbed
from the Palestinian residents, who had been there over a
thousand years. They abandoned their homes, and Jews settled
there instead. The "State of Israel" was born!
Wrongly. And wrongly, it is still standing today, after over
60 years.
The Turning Point
The time has come when the "Zionist redemption" has
suffered shipwreck, and the historical error of the Jewish
people and the world community must be reversed. The former
global enthusiasm about the creation of the "Jewish
State" is no longer there. It has dissolved into thin
air. The dream has become a nightmare.
More and more people feel unease and opposition to the continued
atrocities of the Zionist movement, today "the State
of Israel." The truth - that "anti-Zionism" does
not equal "anti-Semitism" - is beginning to surface.
Zionism is not Judaism, and Judaism is not Zionism.
On the contrary, the two concepts stand in stark contrast
to each other! The Zionists, now in the dress of the "State
of Israel", are not entitled to represent the Jewish
people. Nobody has assigned them to this role; they have
taken it on their own. Today, fewer and fewer people believe
in this fiction. More and more people understand that the
whole Middle East, thanks to the existence of the State of
Israel, has become one big explosive powder keg, which can
ignite at any time and plunge the entire world into the abyss.
At the same time people are also beginning to understand,
that by dissolving this State that does not belong in this
region at all, the situation in the Middle East will finally
stabilize.
This solution should actually be undertaken by the Jews
who live there themselves, once they understand that it is
a sin to break loose from a divinely-imposed exile, and that
the way to repent of that sin is to go back to living in
exile. However, the Israeli population is far from coming
to such a recognition. The majority of the population is
firmly rooted in fanatically-held beliefs that they live
in the utopia of "redemption", and that they have
returned to the land of their fathers.
Meanwhile, however, their state represents a quickly growing
threat in its region of the world, threatening to plunge
the world into an inferno.
* * *
That our solution is, for the most part, "religiously
motivated" is not surprising: Whether we want to admit
it or not, the people of Israel since time immemorial have
been the people of God and nothing else. We are not "a
nation like all nations"; we have received our laws
and life goals from God on Mount Sinai, and we have faithfully
adhered to and always upheld them. That is, until about one
hundred years, when the great catastrophe, the Zionist movement,
arose with the aim of transforming the Jewish people into
a nation like all nations. They said: "We have no connection
with God, no connection with Sinai. But by staying strong,
together, we will solve our problems ourselves! We will have
one country, one state, one army, one language, and everything
a country needs. " And that is unfortunately what they
did.
Today, after a hundred years of Zionism, we are facing a
big mess. God has begun to show us that there is no escape
from Him. The Zionists may have raised an insurrection against
Him, but He will never accept it. He has been watching on
the side for a long time, but it seems obvious that now He
is manipulating world events to lead His people back to where
He has always wanted it, and still wants it. Therefore, the
solution to this problem is not only politically motivated,
but also religiously motivated. Either it will be implemented
by man, or by God himself.
This solution can only come about if there is pressure from
the outside. The world, especially the UN, the U.S. and the
EU, have the duty and the power to carry it out.
It is a political solution, but also a divine duty. Because,
again, it is God who declares that the Zionist redemption
of His people is not acceptable, and that His people must
continue to live uninterrupted in exile, waiting for divine
salvation. Redemption can only be left in the hands of the
one God, and He will carry it out justly, according to His
will. There is no other way to redeem the Jewish people.
God will do exactly what He intends to do with His world.
Israel will be redeemed by Him (not by the "State of
Israel"), and the whole world will recognize God's kingdom.
The "redemption" is not reserved only for the people
of Israel. God will redeem all of mankind. Peace will prevail
all over the world. Every nation, every country and everyone
will recognize God's regime and live in everlasting peace
and satisfaction.
Now we are being given a unique, perhaps last chance to end
the Zionist state on our own initiative, because if we do
not, God will do it - the same God who sent His people into
exile. He wants His people redeemed not by the Zionists but
by Him alone, as He has repeatedly announced through the
prophets. There is no getting around God's plan. Therefore,
let us have the insight to put the solution into action under
all circumstances. There is no time to lose!
