A new Zionist effort to protect the land
by Arlene Kushner, ISRAEL UNWIRED
In ideological terms, the difference between the center-left vision for Israel and that of the right is hardly new. It has been the same for decades. The left envisions a Palestinian state beyond the 1949 armistice lines. The right, which sees the land as Jewish by virtue of international law and heritage, embraces sovereignty to the Jordan River; or, at minimum, Israel’s incorporation of Area C of Judea and Samaria, which remains under full Israeli control. Yet something significant has shifted. This is no longer simply a matter of ideological debate because for years there has been a creeping de facto seizure of parts of Area C by Palestinian Arabs.
