The former responded quickly to the Ameican initiative: neo-fascist National Union politician Benny Elon is on a tour of the United States, promoting his own ghastly program of ethnic cleansing as the only solution – one might even say the final solution – to Israel's Palestinian problem. Final in the sense that the Elon plan, entitled "In the Wake of the War in Iraq - A Historic Opportunity for a Regional Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict," calls for the uprooting and mass transfer of the Palestinians to "neighboring countries," principally Jordan:
"The international community will recognize the Hashemite Kingdom as the sole representative of the Palestinians, and will help it economically as it absorbs a limited number of refugees;
"Israel will become sovereign over Judea, Samaria and Gaza, and the Arabs living there will be Jordanian citizens living under a form of autonomy to-be-determined;
"The exchange of Jewish and Arab populations begun in 1948 will be completed …"
This isn't some marginal figure in Israeli politics, but the Minister of Tourism speaking. That's how far the Israeli political landscape has shifted toward the Twilight Zone: it's as if President Bush had appointed Amiri Baraka the national poet laureate, or Dr. Peter Duesberg the AIDS czar. "Come to Israel, the land of ethnic cleansing" – how's that for a marketing angle?
