Walid Shoebat seems like a good man, but his solutions can't work. As smart as he is, he should know that!
I've heard him say that the Palestinians should not have a state of their own. And they they should be ruled by Israel. He basis everything from that perspective.
I had a chance to see him speak in person, but I don't want to support his solutions, I wouldn't attend. His solutions mean that more Jews will die, because he doesn't support a program of the deportation of Arabs from Israel.
The Arabs need to be out of Israel! Period!!
He is an exceptionally clever intellectual, and a brilliant debator.. His understanding is second to none.
There used to be a whole load of multimedia of him on his website. Now it's just some things on youtube.
Most of the interviews he has done have been very shallow. This happens to many brilliant people getting a message out. They go around the media and get asked the same stupid questions.
If he has any solution, then it deserves proper analysis.
The fact is though, that even if it were possible to occupy the west bank and disarm them and deal with them somehow.. I can't see it myself. But even if it was possible. The Israeli Government could -never- pull it off. Maybe somebody as clever and insightful as Walid could. I don't really know what his solution is. But he would have thought deeply about this, and thought up solutions that deserve a hearing, and he would have thought up answers to obvious objections and unobvious ones . And I haven't heard him asked properly.
Whereas transfer would work. It doesn't take somebody as clever as Walid to do that
I like Tovia Singer's solution of transfer - not based on race - but based on ideology. They wnat to destroy israel, they're out. Put aside for a moment how one would test for that. But if you could test for it. And transfer all those
Then 90%+ would be transferred. And the Israeli population won't feel so guilty. The world won't have so much ammunition to feed jewish guilt. They won't be able to call it ethnic cleansing. Or if they did it could be most easily countered. Even Trying that solution would throw the arabs into disarray.
