2 State Plan looks Gush-Katify

Labor MK Omer Barlev (first term), son of the Illustrious Israeli general Chaim Barlev, has told the NY Times about a plan he dubbed “It’s in Our Hands,” calling for Israel to unilaterally define its own borders to ensure its security. That doesn’t sound so bad, now, does it? The new Barlev Line (the old one collapsed under the attack of the Egyptian army in 1973, but who can remember all that history) keeps control of all of Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley and hands over 60 percent of Judea and Samaria to the Palestinians, “evacuating 35,000 Jewish settlers — less than 10 percent of the total.” A bargain, right? What’s 35K Jews? About 7,000 families? We can do it in our sleep. “The basic idea is taking our future in our hands,” explains Barlev. That’s sounds good. Of course, we’re also taking the future of some 35 thousand loser settlers in our hands, but not to worry, they’ll thank us in the end. “There are things we can do today,” he says. “There are things we can lead today and not be led. I’m saying, in order to keep Zionism and to keep the Jewish state, we don’t need a partner.”
