Hi Chaim,
No time to say much before Yom Tov but please check out
http://forum.kahane.org/index.php?topic=716.0Someone there told me to pass this on.
Below is the text pasted by Yacov Menashe, the one who told Ben Plonie to post this idea here.
Here is an idea I have tried shopping around. If you want to call me a crackpot, go ahead, but first give it a chance.
I used to be in favor of the Two-State Solution. That is, a State of Israel and a State of Judea in the East Bank of Western Israel, plus the Gaza District of Judah in the absence of any other legitimate claiming authority. But honestly, the time of the Two Kingdoms realy sucked. Why go back to that? Why not go back to the Golden Age of our people?
So now I favor the re-establishment of Twelve semi-autonomous States corresponding to the original Israelite tribal lands, with a Federal entity to be known as the United States of Israel (USI) responsible for common legal, criminal and security administration issues. In fact, I would extend the re-districting for the sake of discussion from the Nile to the Euphrates. The Arabs think that is what the lines on the flag are for, so why waste our energy denying it? It is a Golden Opportunity to move in the direction outlined in Devarim and Yehoshua? That is the spirit of Zionism,isn't it? And where are we going to put the thirty million Israelites who will be coming home?
It is understood that some portions of the Twelve States will be inaccessable until the geopolitical adjustments to be made by Hashem at the conclusion of Galus, but the maps can certainly be drawn up now. In the way of Rav Meir David we should be unafraid to take a cue from the enemy. That's right, the enemy has a fantastic advantage in moral and oral clarity, as long as they don't mind lying. We can take great lessons from the statements of Hamas. We can use the salami technique, we can divide and conquer, we can eat the Medinah in administrative chunks and launch new administrative assaults from any land we conquer.
Why is the State of Judea having such a hard time getting off the ground? Because Israel wants to be the only Jewish State, and as we know its internal enemies want not even that, just a modern 'Palestine'. But if Israel is one state, (and there is an attraction to that), then theoretically it doesn't matter how big or small it is, or whether it has a relationship to Eretz Yisroel.
But is Israel is Eretz Yiroel, then the "West Bank' and Gaza to the Nile are in the great State of Yehudah, the East Bank to the Euphrates is comprised of the great States of Reuven, Gad, and half of Menashe, Golan is the great State of Dan, Lebanon to the Litani is comprised of the great States of Asher and Naphtali. This puts into perspective the unfinished business we have with these places. With this attitude we would have said to Hizbollah - 'Go ahead - make our day! We're taking our football and going home, and we'll start by renaming Bint Jebail to Bint Goldwasser and the Ltani to the Regev. With that attitude we would move our fence ten kilometers further for every missile, mortar, bullet, rock or spitball that comes our way. You piss us off, we confiscate the land. Because the Arabs don't care about losing missiles, people, babies or houses. All replacable. They only care about land, and we are dicking around if we deal in anything else.
This infrastructure will enable a smooth transition to the return of the Ten lost Tribes to their proper original aboriginal native traditional indigenous ancient sacred eternal inheritance in the end times of which these are a beginning.
This will also provide an increased outlet for the political energy and talent of the Jewish people, with expanded opportunities for industrial and land development. It will provide for clearer democratic expression for a diverse population.
And best of all, the name United States of Israel will be unbearably annoying to the Smolanim and other anti-semites.
But what about the democratic state of its citizens? No problemo. All of this democracy is just for internal use, as an interim measure until Moshiach. But the model for Israel even now cannot be a pure Western Democracy. The model for Israel as a whole is that of a Jewish reservationas for the Indians. Now we know very well that a bunch of white people could not move onto an Indian reservation, become citizens and outvote the Indians! The nature of a reservation is that it is out of the game, off the table, non-nnegotialble and not for sale, protected by host law, in this case international. In fact, that was the whole point of the League of Nations mandate that was universally recognized in its day even by the Arabs until England through its Jewish poodle hired the Osama bin Ladin of his day, the poisonous Mufti to destroy the Jewish impediment to the Iraq-Haifa oil pipeline and concocted the first Judenrein spot on Earth, Ever HaYarden to us.
