Go ahead with the recognition of Israel [Archives:2006/962/Letters to the Editor]

Israeli Jews are still in a state of “exile”, which was decreed by their God, YHWH, to last until the coming of the Messiah. But the Messiah's time frame is unknown. Jews were not supposed to create a political and military entity in Israel, especially through violence and bloodshed. The creation of Israel, therefore, is both illegitimate and extremely vulnerable from within.
Palestinians have two options. First, to recognize the illegitimate Israel without any conditions. Thereafter suspend intransigency against Israelis unilaterally. This will tilt world opinion in their favor. The result in Israel will show in the Israelis splitting up in and against peace with Palestinians.
Israel is threatened with a piece of divine hammering for violating the decree of coming into the Holy Land ahead of the Messiah and that too by shedding blood. If that happens, Palestinians should rush to the rescue of bruised Israelis with a healing touch. The Jews that have now arrived in Israel are not supposed to go back in exile. They are quite likely to stay there but at the mercy of a divine hand as well as the will of the Palestinians. The Israelis will undo the statehood of Israel after a lashing from the heavens. Their power would be gone from them.
The second option is to allow the Israelis a “safe haven” in the West Bank and let the Jews from the Diaspora, as well as from America arrives in the West Bank's “safe haven”. The Jews have lived for the better part of their exile under Muslim regimes right from the time when the Caliph Umar restored them to live in Jerusalem. It is recorded that they were expelled from there by the Byzantine Christians. The last time it was the Ottomans who had opened their door to the expelled Jews from Spain and Portugal. The Jews turned out to be a “Golden Sparrow” to the Turks. They enjoyed full freedom of expression and religion in the Ottoman's Empire for four centuries.
Jews have no destiny. They don't trust Christians. The American Jewry is expecting a backlash against them and will migrate to Israel. Let the Jews live under the care of Palestinians in freedom. They will need to trade with Arabs in order to survive and there are no better traders than the Jews. The Jews behave best when they get peace. Let Palestinians give them peace. Most Jews would prefer to go back to Morocco, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Turkey, etc.
