The Media Line Staff04/25/2024Maariv, Israel, April 12″ By basically complying with the demands we’ve laid out for you, your condition had greatly improve”. The US and other European nations are sending this information to us. The risks to reduce military aid and abstain from vetoing proposals against Israel in the Security Council did, it seems, been resisted. This includes preventing an activity in Rafah, putting an end to the Hamas fight, and allowing the Palestinian Authority to rule the Gaza Strip. Additionally, this approach has the added benefit of reducing anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli advertising in general. A significant number of individuals, both currently and generally, have chosen to think in such assurances. When these claims fall short of truth, especially in the eyes of Israel and its citizens, is a problem. Past cases of us giving in to American expectations at Camp David, recognizing the “legitimate rights of the Arab people” and imposing strict restrictions on IDF activities in Judea and Samaria, did not produce the desired relief regarding Palestinian issues; rather, the tension increased. Also, the signing of the Oslo peace accords did not result in the expected peace and serenity, on the contrary, it brought about more turmoil and trauma from Muslim adversaries, as well as continuous international coercion. Hope persisted that it would stop assaults on our defense forces and lessen external pressures even after the Gaza withdrawal, but the events of October 7 and the days following proved otherwise, effectively disproving any preconceived notions about Oslo. Numerous factors contribute to the persistence of Western countries, particularly the United States, in pressuring Israel to make concessions despite the terms being agreed upon. It comes not solely from the significant Arab voting bloc in Michigan but also from a progressive ideology that inherently disagrees with Western values and aligns with the Third World against the “white” oppressors. Further, it is not motivated by sincere moral principles, as demonstrated by the absence of condemnation following the horrifying violence that Gazans continued against their own citizens on October 7. Beyond progressive ideologies, internal political considerations, and false virtue signaling, lies a longstanding bias within the higher echelons of the American State Department and Western governments. According to these key policymakers, it seems that the demands of Israel’s adversaries hold more significance than Israel’s own interests, leading to unwavering support for those who oppose our nation. While tactic concessions may provide temporary relief from pressure, making genuine concessions in an effort to appease us could end up being disastrous in the long run. After Israel was established, David Ben-Gurion became aware of the dangers of repressing American demands regarding refugees. His unwavering support prevented the nation’s demise, a lesson that still applies today: A surrender to international pressures for peace and Palestinian statehood would embolden Hamas and put our very existence in jeopardy. In this complex political landscape, concessions are not the solution. —Ido Netanyahu, brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ( translated by Asaf Zilberfarb ) * * * *&# 13,
