http://www.ilmondodiannibale.it Israeliani con Obama Leggete questo breve appello di israeliani favorevoli al ritorno ai confini del ’67. A forza di sentire Netanyahu e i suoi amici, anche nostrani, dire che i quei confini sono indifendibili uno può finire col crederci. Stranamente però tra i firmatari di questo appello ci sono tantissimi alti gradi militari israeliani, oltre ad accademici di ogni genere. Non a caso tutti questi cittadini israeliani apprezzano l’idea di un’imminente dichiarazione di indipendenza dello Stato di Palestina. Recognizing a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders is vital for Israel’s existence We, the citizens of Israel, call on the public to support the recognition of a democratic Palestinian state as a condition for ending the conflict, and reaching agreed borders on the basis of the 1967 borders. Recognition of such a Palestinian state is vital for Israel’s existence. It is the only way to guarantee the resolution of the conflict by negotiations, to prevent the eruption of another round of massive violence and end the risky isolation of Israel in the world. The successful implementation of the agreements requires two leaderships, Israeli and Palestinian, which recognize each other, choose peace and are fully committed to it. This is the only policy that leaves Israel’s fate and security in its own hands. Any other policy contradicts the promise of Zionism and the welfare of the Jewish people.
