August 30, 2011: Sheikh Abu Hader Jaabari, the Mukhtar of Hevron, stated in an interview with INR that Israel made a bad mistake when it chose dialogue with the foreign entity of the PLO instead of local tribal leadership.

He stated he misses the days that preceded the Oslo Accords. Speaking emotionally and with conviction, Jaabari stated that there is no way of establishing another “Palestinian” state.

Firstly, he stated, Islam forbids Arab leaders from ceding any part of the land, which is considered holy. Therefore, any kind of land compromise is not valid from a religious viewpoint. Secondly, he stated, Israel is present everywhere on the land, there are checkpoints everywhere and there is no way to create an independent Arab country, because there is not enough land to create it on.

“I wish we had remained in the pre-Oslo period,” Jaabari stated. “The situation was much better, at least economically. Today we have over 40% unemployment. Most of the factories have closed down, and drug trafficking within the populace has grown. People find themselves in a vacuum; they look for their path.”

“We are basically a conservative nation. Now there is no conservatism, no anything.” The solution, he stated, is not to divide the land between Jews and Arabs but to establish a single country in which Jews and Arabs will have equal rights.

Regarding the Jewish fear that Arabs would eventually gain a majority in such a country, he stated: “You have a fear of demography. But I think the Arabs are going down demographically and the Jews are only going up. Our women have begun to work and they are content with one or two children.”

Ayoub Kara floated the idea that Arabs would have full rights in Israel but would not be able to vote for the Knesset. Sheikh Jaabari stated he would agree to this arrangement as a temporary one, until trust was established between Jews and Arabs.

Kara suggested that Palestinians are in effect Jordanians, and do not need an additional state. Jaabari agreed that most Jordanians are Palestinians and that many of the Arabs in Judea and Samaria are Jordanian citizens. However, he stated that once Jordan announced its disengagement from Judea and Samaria in 1988, the option of “Jordan as Palestine” became difficult to implement.

Perhaps a confederation of some sort with Jordan or Israel is still possible, he stated, but this too is difficult after the Oslo process, because “everyone wants to be a part of the leadership and if there is no state there is no leadership.”

In any case, he stated, an independent Palestinian state is not an option.The interview with Jaabari was conducted at his home, in the presence of Deputy Minister Ayoub Kara.

Sixty-five years after the defeat of the Third Reich, a senior delegation of European right-wing politicians toured Samaria Monday, December 6, 2010 in support of the Jews who live there, whom they see as a bridgehead in the struggle against a common foe; Islamic jihadism and expansionism.

The delegation of senior European parliamentarians toured Samaria’s Jewish communities Monday as guests of the Samaria Liaison Office, which said the group was “unprecedented” in its political importance. The parliamentarians learned from up close about the strategic value of the region and visited sites of historic and biblical significance.

Euro MPs in Judea and Samaria: This is Jewish Land

The delegation included 35 senior European parliamentarians from Austria, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Britain and Sweden, including some who are believed likely to one day head their countries. Germany, Austria and Italy, under extreme right-wing parties, were at the heart of the Axis that fought a genocidal war against the Jewish nation and a war of conquest against the Allied Powers in the 1930′s and 40′s.

A spokesman for the Shomron (Samaria) local authority explained that most of the visitors were from what is known as the “New Right” in Europe. These are parties that support Israel, renounce anti-Semitism and see the Islamic takeover of Europe as a clear danger, the Samaria spokesman said. Most of the touring parliamentarians were Christians. The visitors agreed that Judea and Samaria constitute Jewish land.

The group included Heinz-Christian Strache, head of the German Freedom Party, who is seen as a likely candidate to become the next chancellor of Austria; Filip Dewinter of Belgium’s Vlaams Belang party; MP Frank Creyelman, who heads the Belgian Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee; René Stadtkewitz, Chairman of Germany’s Freedom Party; and Claus Pandi, editor-in-chief of Krone Zeitung, the biggest newspaper in Austria.

They visited secular and religious communities including Barkan, Elon Moreh and Har Bracha, in order to get a better understanding of Jewish residents’ motivation for living in the contested biblical land.
