Republikud: Complementary Politics of the Conservative U.S and Israeli States Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Nima Shirali, Canada May 23, 2003
Peace & Conflict   Opinions

  


It is abundantly clear that land concessions form the elemental aspect of reconciliation, and that no intentions in making land concessions is parallel to no intentions in reconciling. Yet, as I mentioned in my article in December last year, the collaboration between the U.S and Israeli states can create leeway for great potential in reconciling the Israelis and Palestinians. However, it seems as if conservative assertions aimed at attaining, and retaining a state of ‘peace and security’, have suppressed this potential.

Therefore, the relations between the U.S and Israeli states serve to effectuate each other’s policies. On the one hand, U.S assistance to Israel is essential to that country’s survival. On the other hand, this assistance perpetuates an alliance, which is gainful for the U.S. It has become starkly evident that the Republican agenda prioritizes military and economic aid to Israel, yet without significant persuasions to make land concessions; a condition precedent to reconciliation.

Unfortunately, the reality that the conservative Israeli administration is disinclined to make land concessions is an unconcealed fact, and would impede any reconciliation process. This impediment is exacerbated by the Republican agenda, as it advocates assistance to Israel, without an indication of pressure on the Israeli State to engage in a reconciliation process.
