Kamal Nawash presents his Google postings calling "Israel the only terrorist state in the Middle East" as FMAT policy paper

March 13, 2006

MIM: This uber hyped "policy paper" of Nawash is nothing more then a revamped version of his crude Google posting from 1997 : http://www.freemuslims.org/issues/israel-palestine.php

"...IT WOULD BE IN ISRAEL'S BEST INTERST TO NO
LONGER HOLD ON TO THE IDEA OF AN EXCLUSIVE JEWISH STATE. THE ONLY
SOLUTION IS THAT PALESTINE/ISRAEL BE SHARED AS A SECULAR DEMOCRATIC STATE.
ISAEL SHOULD DO THIS WHILE IT IS STILL STRONG. ONE DAY IT WILL NOT BE
SO STRONG, AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN. BECAUSE THE
PALESTININAS WILL NOT-WILL NOT-WILL NOT-FORGETTE ABOUT PALESTINE..."

Great idea. I agree we must have a final solution. However, I
think a better soluion would be for both the Palestininas and
Israelis to live together in a democratic secular state.
I think this is the only soluton that will work. The two
state solution will only delay war for another day and another
time. I don't think the Plaestininas will ever forgive the
Jews for steeling their homes, Killing their men and raping their
women.
At the least If original Palestine is shared, the Palestininas
will have the theoratical posibility of living anywhere from
Jerusalem to Telavive. This plan is the best plan outside
of returning Israel to its true owners which is the Palestininas

Free Muslim to Address Israeli & Palestinian Leaders in Israel &
Palestine

Several months ago, the Free Muslims Coalition produced a policy paper
on the Palestinian/Israeli Conflict in which the Free Muslims called for
a confederation between Palestine and Israel that resembles the European
Union. Since that time, the policy paper has circulated in the World
Wide Web and garnered substantial interest from some Israelis,
Palestinians and Americans.

Recently, Kamal Nawash of the Free Muslims was invited to Israel,
Palestine and Jordan to present the policy paper before audiences that
includes Israeli members of parliament, newly elected members of the
Palestinian parliament and Jordanian officials.

We have reproduced the policy paper below. Please read it and share
your comments on our Free Speech Zone (blog). Your opinions will be
summarized and shared with audiences
in the Middle East to illustrate the reaction to our proposed solution.

MIM:Prior to the much hyped Million Muslim (Invisible) March Against Terrorism Nawash proudly told a WPost reporter that :

'Some people see me as the Muslim Martin Luther". Indeed, Nawash's postings on a Google Internet forum about Israel "being the only terrorist state in the Middle East" echo Luther's hatred of the Jews.

"...The Palestininans are definitly not convinced. They will never forgett about Palestine. Even us
Americans are begining to wake up and see the truth. The only
terrorist in the Middle-East is the state of Israel..." Kamal Nawash 6/1/97

FlorentHi, my name is Kamal I am from Palestine but reside in the US. I am a

law student, who are you.

It is really discouriging to read false propaganda like yours
when so many paople are sincerely working hard to find a just
solution to the Palestinin/Israeli conflict. People like you who
have nothing to do but defame Islam and spread other false
information are useless and should drop out of futur discussions.

Your problem is not with Islam. it is with the Palestininas
who are made up of

Christians and Moslems. If the Christian
and Moslem Palestinians are angry it is not because they hate
Jews, it is because Jews stole their land, killed their men and
raped their women.
By defaming Islam and comparing it with Nazisim you are
avoiding the true issue that Palestine was stolen by the Jews.
Palestine includes all the land that is known as Israel today.
Your attempt to confuse the issues is not convincing
and will not work. The Palestininans are definitly not
convinced. They will never forgett about Palestine. Even us
Americans are begining to wake up and see the truth. The only
terrorist in the Middle-East is the state of Israel.
Rather than spread false info., you could come up with solutions such
as the one state solution where both Palestininas and jews can live
together in a secular democratic state.

-------------------====

I WILL START THIS DISCUSSION BY POSING THE QUESTION OF WHY WOULD THE
PALESTINIANS, AFTER 40 YEARS OF TRYING TO LIBERATE THEIR COUNTYRY, FINALLY
ACCEPT 25% OR LESS OF ORIGINAL PALESTINE (WESTBANK AND GAZA), WHEN THEY
WERE NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT 47%, JUST 40 YEARS AGO. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT
ALL THE PALESTINIANS WHO WERE KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND FORCED TO LIVE
IN REFUGEE CAMPS ARE FINALLY WILLING TO FORGIVE AND FORGET THE ISRAELIS
FOR "STEALIN" THEIR HOMES AND COUNTRY? WHAT ABOUT THE ISRAELIS? FOR YEARS
THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT RETURN ONE INCH OF PALESTINE TO THE PALESTININAS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO CHANGE ISRAELI OPINION, IF IT HAS CHANGED?
FOR THE PALESTINIANS THEY COMPROMISED BECAUSE THEY FELT THEY CAN NO
LONGER BEAR THE SUFFERING OF OCCUPATION BY ISRAEL AND BECAUSE THE ARAB
WORLD, DIVIDED BY THE GULF WAR, WAS TOO WEAK TO HELP THEM.
FOR ISRAEL, THEY WANTED TO END THE INTIFADA AND BY LIBERATING THE
PALESTINIANS IT STOOD TO REAP SUBSTANTIAL ECONOMIC BENEFITS.
IF THE PEACE PROCESS IS BASED ON ARAB WEAKNESS, THEN ISRAEL MUST
ALWAYS REMAIN STRONG AND THE ARABS MUST REMAIN WEAK IF ISREAL IS TO
SURVIVE. WHILE ISRAEL HAS EVERY INTENTION OF DOING SO, THIS WILL NOT
HAPPEN. NO COUNTRY, EMPIRE OR ANY SOVEREIGN ENTITY HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO
MAINMTAIN THEIR SUPERIORITY FOREVER. FOR EXAMPLE, CONSIDER THE UNITED
KINGDOM, IT WAS NOT SO LONG AGO THAT IT WAS SAID THAT "THE SUN NEVER SETS
ON THE BRITISH EMPIRE." TODAY, NOT ONLY DID THE SUN SET, BUT THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF BRITIAN IS DECREASING BY THE HOUR. AND WHAT ABOUT THE
SOVIET UNION, CONSIDER THE SPEED OF ITS DEMISE.
AS TO THE ARAB WORLD, THE ARAB MENTALITY BEGAN TO CHANGE AFTER THE
GULF WAR. IT WAS SOME WHAT OF A RENISSANCE. TODAY, MOST ARAB
COUNTRIES ARE DEVELOPING ECONOMICALLY AND INDUSTRILTY AT A VERY FAST
RATE. EXAMPLES, TUNISIA'S ECONOMY IS THE FASTEST GROWING IN ALL THE
REGION. EGYPT IS THE SECOND. IN FACT EGYPT IS DOING SO WELL THAT BOTH
MERCEDEZ AND BMW ARE PLANING ON BUILDING FACTORIES IN THAT COUNTRY. SAUDI
ARABIA HAS MADE PHENOMINAL PROGRESS SINCE THE GULF WAR. IT IS BUILDING A
NEW FACTORY ALMOST EVERY MONTH. SINCE 1995 THEY HAVE CREATED 263,000
JOBS. THE ABOVE THREE COUNTRIES ARE JUST EXAMPLES. MOST OTHER ARAB
COUNTRIES ARE DEVELOPING AT A FAST RATE. EVEN IRAQ HAS MADE INCREDIBLE
IMPROVEMENTS DESPITE THE SANCTIONS. IRAQ IS NOW PRODUCING MOST OF ITS OWN
CONSUMER GOODS. FURTHER, SINCE 1995, THEY BEGAN PRODUCING ALL THE SPARE
PARTS FOR THIR CIVIL AND MILITARY AVIATION. ISRAEL CAN'T EVEN DO THIS.
BASED ON THE ABOVE REASONING, IT WOULD BE IN ISRAEL'S BEST INTERST TO NO
LONGER HOLD ON TO THE IDEA OF AN EXCLUSIVE JEWISH STATE. THE ONLY
SOLUTION IS THAT PALESTINE/ISRAEL BE SHARED AS A SECULAR DEMOCRATIC STATE.
ISAEL SHOULD DO THIS WHILE IT IS STILL STRONG. ONE DAY IT WILL NOT BE
SO STRONG, AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN. BECAUSE THE
PALESTININAS WILL NOT-WILL NOT-WILL NOT-FORGETTE ABOUT PALESTINE.

SOLVING THE PALESTINIAN-ISRAELI CONFLICT

No issue has the same global impact as the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
During the cold war, the United States and the Soviet Union twice raised
their security alerts and aggressively challenged each other over this
conflict. The oil embargo of the 1970s was inspired by the
Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Numerous militants, terrorist groups and
governments around the world which seek legitimacy place the
Palestinian/Israeli conflict at the forefront of their agenda. And while
the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is not the cause of terrorism, solving
this conflict may transform the political landscape of the entire Middle
East and expose the various agendas of numerous violent groups who leach
on this conflict to win the hearts and minds of emotional and
unsuspecting people.

Because of the global impact of this conflict, the entire world must do
all it can to bring peace between the Palestinians and Israelis. Towards
that end the Free Muslims propose the following:

Today there are three solutions to this conflict. The Israelis and
Palestinians can kill each other; they can separate by creating two
separate nations; or they can create one nation made up of two people.
Presently, the only solution being discussed is a two state solution.
This solution is based on separating both people into two separate and
sovereign nations. While the Free Muslims support any solution that
brings final peace to both Israelis and Palestinians, we believe there
are serious problems with the two state solution that may not bring long
term peace to both people.

During the Clinton administration, the Palestinians and Israelis spent
nearly ten years trying to hammer out a deal based on the two state
solution. That peace process ended in total failure. Immediately after
the failure of that peace process, Israelis and Palestinians blamed each
other for the failure; and the rest of the world took side with either
the Palestinians or the Israelis.

However, neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis are to blame for the
failure of the Clinton era peace talks which were based on the "Oslo
agreement." What caused the failure of the peace talks maybe the
solution it self rather than the parties. The consequences of creating
two separate nations by dividing Israel and Palestine were and still are
difficult pills to swallow for both Israelis and Palestinians. It is a
fact that both Israelis and Palestinians have religious, historical and
emotional attachments to every square inch of the land that includes
Israel and Palestine. The sooner the Palestinians and Israelis
understand this reality the sooner they can solve their conflict.

From the point of view of many Israelis, the two state solution is
difficult because they would have to give up their religious and
historical attachments to the West Bank and Gaza which they call Judea
and Samaria. Many Israelis simply cannot fathom giving up the West Bank
and Gaza and maybe they should not have to. From the point of view of
the Palestinians, the two states solution is difficult because they have
historical, religious and emotional attachments not only to the West
Bank and Gaza but also to Israel which they call the lands of 1948 after
the year they lost it to present day Israel. These are the facts and
realities that the Palestinians and Israelis have to deal with to solve
their conflict.

In light of these facts some may think that a solution to this conflict
is impossible. Not true. The Palestinian/Israeli conflict can be solved
like any other conflict as long as the parties think outside the box and
as long as no one uses violence or terrorism to effect political change.

In light of the attachments that both parties have for the same
territory, the solution is not in separating but in coming closer
together. Many Israelis and Palestinians seem to agree that the land
they call Israel/Palestine is indivisible. Thus, the solution lies in
keeping the land that Israelis and Palestinians call home as one nation
while at the same time providing each side with the security and the
individuality the parties would have if they had their own separate
nations.

What is being proposed here is a Two State-One Nation solution based on
equality, freedom and civil rights for both Israelis and Palestinians.
The idea behind this solution is that there will be two sovereign states
similar to New York and New Jersey that together make one nation similar
to the United States of America. However, rather than being a federation
it would be a confederation. The main difference between a federation
and a confederation is that the states in a confederacy have much more
sovereignty than in a federation.

What is being proposed here is not entirely new. What is new about the
two state-one nation solution is that it achieves the benefits of being
one united nation while reserving for both Israelis and Palestinians the
security and independence of being two separate nations.

To illustrate this point further, note that after occupying the West
Bank and Gaza in 1967, Israel could have annexed and integrated those
territories into Israel by providing the Palestinians with Israeli
citizenship. However, Israel did not do this and instead chose to treat
the West Bank and Gaza as if they were part of Israel physically without
providing the Palestinians in those territories with citizenship,
political rights or civilian rule. Among the reasons Israel did not
integrate the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza into Israel is
because Israelis were afraid of a demographic problem. The Israelis
feared that if they gave the Palestinians equality, political and civil
rights that the Palestinians may one day out number the Israelis and
vote Israel out of existence. While we understand this concern by
Israelis, those Israelis who fear giving the Palestinians equality and
civil rights assume that they cannot give the Palestinians equality and
at the same time have a Jewish state. This is a false assumption. The
territory that includes Israel and Palestine can be one nation where the
Palestinians have equality, political and civil rights and at the same
time be a safe heaven for Jews from all over the world.

This can be done by creating a confederation of two states united by a
federal type government with limited powers. The country can be called
the United States of Israel and Palestine. While both states should have
the right to limit immigration and migration within their borders, the
principles of the nation should be based on the free movement of labor
and people. To the extent that Israelis move to Palestine and
Palestinians to Israel, we can avoid the demographic consequences of the
migration by having their votes count in their respective state
regardless of where they live. This approach will totally avoid the
demographic fear that Israelis have by making certain that migration of
people does not dilute the political power of Jews or Palestinians in
their local and state politics.

As to the national government, Israel and Palestine shall each
contribute 50% to the national parliament regardless of their
populations. With this solution, the Israelis do not have to fear
political dilution from potential demographic changes and the
Palestinians do not have to fear political dilution from the Israelis.

As to the President or Prime Minister of the national government of the
United States of Israel and Palestine, they should be elected by the
national parliament. Being that the parliament is divided 50/50 no
Palestinian or Israeli can win without support from parliamentarians of
the other side. This will guarantee that no Palestinian or Israeli
extremist can become president of the United States of Israel and
Palestine.

Initially, the national government should have limited powers similar to
the United States government in the early days of the Union. As time
progresses and both Israelis and Palestinians feel more comfortable with
each other, they may chose to give the confederation more authority. In
essence the early days of the national government of the United States
of Israel and Palestine should resemble an entity more like the European
Union than the U.S. federal government.

On economic matters, Israel and Palestine shall act as one nation with
no exception. They shall have the same currency, no tariffs and complete
free trade. The early days of the national government or confederation
shall be to bring jobs and economic prosperity to both Israelis and
Palestinians. This should be an easy task. A peaceful Israel and
Palestine acting as one nation would be a gold mine the likes of which
the world has never seen. A nation that is the birth place of western
civilization and immensely revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims,
religious tourism alone will guarantee a healthy economy in perpetuity.

However, the economy will have more than tourism to secure its
prosperity. A nation of Palestinians and Israelis at peace with their
neighbors shall have unlimited opportunities. The technical know-how of
Israel, the available capital in the Arab world and a geography that is
at the intersection of three continents can produce an economic power
house that is second to none on a per capita basis. Moreover, a peaceful
nation made up of Palestine and Israel at peace with their neighbors
will not only bring economic prosperity to that nation but also to the
entire Middle East.

This solution may not be perfect. However, this proposed solution may be
the only solution that will give the Palestinians and Israelis most of
what they want while at the same time allows both people to keep their
individual identity and live as one nation. Moreover, with this
solution, Jerusalem becomes a non-issue and borders become less
relevant. This solution will basically take Israelis and Palestinians
back to the time before the first intifada (uprising) began in 1987 with
the only difference being that the Palestinians will have rights and
equality that they never had under the occupation. As proof that this
solution can work is the fact that Israel has one million Palestinians
with Israeli citizenship and they are not demonstrating, throwing rocks
or blowing themselves up. Why is this? The only difference between
Palestinians who are citizens of Israel and Palestinians in the West
Bank and Gaza is that one group has freedom, political and civil rights
while the other has nothing. Israel did not recognize the Palestinians
of the West Bank and Gaza as citizens. They were put under military
rule, and they were segregated in everyway.

To summarize, the Free Muslims are asking the Palestinians to reach out
to their Israeli and Jewish partners and say the following:

"We understand why the state of Israel is important to you. We are fully
aware of the persecution that Jews suffered throughout history and the
necessity of having a safe heaven for Jews. We also understand that Jews
have historical and religious ties to Israel/Palestine. We believe that
every Jew shall have the right to move to Israel and become a citizen
immediately. We also welcome Jews to visit and to reside in the West
Bank and Gaza. We want the Palestinians and Israelis to live together as
neighbors, friends and countrymen. In return, what we want is freedom,
liberty and equality for the Palestinians. Will you meet us half way?"

The Free Muslims are also asking Israelis and Jews to reach out to their
Palestinians Partners and say the following:

"We understand why Palestine is important to you. We are fully aware of
the suffering the Palestinians have experience over the last 100 years
and the necessity of having a safe heaven for Palestinians. We also
understand that Palestinians have historical and religious ties to
Israel/Palestine. We believe that every Palestinian shall have the right
to move to Palestine and become a citizen immediately. We also welcome
the Palestinians to visit and to reside in Israel. We want the
Palestinians and Israelis to live together as neighbors, friends and
countrymen. In return, what we want is permanent security, liberty,
equality and the total freedom to be Jews. Will you meet us half way?"
