Professor: Israel must annex Judea and Samaria
Former professor, current writer and journalist Moshe Dann says that Israel should annex Judea and Samaria, as that would be the only viable road map to peace and stability.
Dann says in his article on Ynet that Judea and Samaria rightfully belong to the Jewish people and this is “not a matter to be decided by the US, EU, or UN”.
“Sacrificing some communities in order to save others, amputating hilltops and settlements to assuage Arabs and the international community only encourages more radical demands and undermines Israel’s raison d’être,” former professor says.
He adds that Israel should change its archaic and ambiguous position and extend full sovereignty to all Jewish communities throughout Judea and Samaria, including State Land and areas necessary for defence and security.
“Such a step is consistent with binding international law incorporated in League of Nations, British Mandate, US Congressional and United Nations Resolutions; it fulfils the historic role of the State of Israel, and legal and moral obligations to its citizens and the Jewish People,” Dann argues.
Abandoning parts of Eretz Yisrael has only produced more terrorism and suffering on all sides, he says.
“Extending Israeli sovereignty to Judea and Samaria affirms Jewish claims to the land, not as “occupier”, but as rightful inheritor, not as “oppressor”, but to establish justice and the rule of law, not to deprive Arabs of civil and humanitarian rights, but to ensure them,” the professor writes.
“Extending Israeli sovereignty affirms the historical truth that Israel’s right to exist does not come from the Holocaust, but from Scripture and history, millennia of Jewish civilization, documented by myriad ancient sources, universally acknowledged.”
“Israeli sovereignty, therefore, is not a matter of international acceptance, but of Jewish self-respect, self-determination and self-affirmation,” Dann argues. “The State of Israel represents the Jewish return to history and its homeland. Protecting its citizens, the raison d’être of every nation, requires extending Israeli sovereignty to Judea and Samaria; that is not only necessary, but intrinsic and compelling, the essence of authenticity.”
