以色列的困境
獨立戰爭後，1948年的以色列的意向很清楚。猶太人從祖流放後受到兩千年的歧視，以色列原本是一個會保護猶太民族的安全的所在，但每十年被入侵一次的結果是邊境變成很複雜。 現在以色列軍隊管的領土上，以色列國內的一百八十萬阿拉伯人加上加薩跟西岸的五百萬人口，總共包六百八十萬的阿拉伯人，相當於境內猶太人的總人口。。這下子以色列比較像中東多元新奧斯曼帝國不像猶太組國。 無論常說謊的右派Likud未來想不想併吞西岸，加薩都非常穩定，以色列最好的選擇是把加薩還給埃及。 以色列1979年還西奈半島給埃及時，把加薩留在以色列的管制是一個巨大的錯誤。加薩與世隔絕導致經濟崩潰、宗教狂熱、暴力民族主義爆發，這樣的加薩是全世界最大的難民營又沒有未來。 在以色列的管制下，Hamas黨2007年上任把反對黨者都殺掉後每五年都會有戰爭，平民傷亡如此普遍，以至於生命價值已被貶低，基礎設施跟生活水平糟糕透頂。這麼慘的情況下，以色列的政府還是不願意多留一點自治權給巴勒斯坦西岸Fatah或Hamas的政權。 很明顯目前的加薩無法獨立。認知到以色列的政策迄今削弱了整個地區的安全，最佳的途徑可能是把整個加薩領土還給文化上比較相似的埃及，為最終與埃及或未來的巴勒斯坦國合併做準備。 為了國家利益，如果以色列願意向埃及撥款以安置流離失所者、融入社會並穩定加薩的局勢，西岸會比較有未來，更有機會組成穩定的政府準備獨立。 Written by Ari B.
