Seven Existential Threats
Jerry Gordon comment: This opinion piece by Israeli Ambassador designate to the US, Dr. Michael Oren should be mandatory reading by Rham Emanuel, Gen. James Jones, NSC chief, Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton and every Member of Congress. His seven existential threats include: loss of Jerusalem; Arab demographic threat; delegitimization; terrorism; a nuclear armed Iran; and, the hemorrhaging of Sovereignty.

The State of Israel copes not only with one but with at least seven existential threats on a daily basis. These threats are extraordinary not only for their number but also for their diversity. In addition to external military dangers from hostile regimes and organizations, the Jewish State is endangered by domestic opposition, demographic trends, and the erosion of core values.

After reading this article, which nailed it, I was a bit despondent; however, when thinking about it, I knew that we can defeat all of these threats. Mr. Oren names the ways to do that, but he left ot one solution. Israel, instead of moving the settlers out of Judea and Samaria, we should move the Palis to Jordan or have Jordan annex only the area in which the Palis live. This would include only those that live in the area that is not Israel proper. Annex the territory.
The Arabs that actually live in Israel must swear allegience to Israel, serve the government and become law abiding citzens.
I can think of no one worse than Michael Oren for this position, really I cannot.
There then is at least two of us who think alike.
