THE “ ROAD MAP ” WILL NOT BRING PEACE INSTEAD IT WILL BRING MORE TERROR TO ISRAEL AND THE US SIX REASONS WHY THE “ROAD MAP” WON’T WORK: 1.“Road Map” represents a major reward for terrorism. It provides a proof that terrorism works. It gives encouragement to the terrorists of all kinds by giving them hope. Giving hope to terrorists only leads them to redouble their efforts. Thus, the result of the Road Map will be the rise of terrorism all over the world, and especially the Islamist terrorism (including Al-Qaida threat against America). 2. “Road Map” is based on Ethnic Cleansing of Jews from West Bank and Gaza. (So called “dismantlement of the Jewish settlements” to create a Jew-free zone in West Bank and Gaza). No real peace can be based on giving in to the racism and ethnic hatred. 3. “Road Map” repeats all mistakes of the failed Oslo process, but on a larger scale. Once again, no serious tangible demands are made on the Palestinian side to stop terrorism and incitement, and to promote peaceful coexistence with Israel. Yet, Israel is required to make dangerous and irreversible concessions. If Oslo supporters could blame naïveté and hope for their mistakes, repeating them again now – after the deadly Oslo results – is nothing short of criminal irresponsibility. 4. “Road Map” relies on the temporary ceasefire (“hudna”) with Islamist terrorist groups to end violence. The concept of “hudna” – ceasefire – is used in Islamic culture for a ceasefire to be broken as soon as the Muslim side achieves a stronger strategic position than their opponent. Clearly, “hunda” can only result in more violence, not less. 5.“Road Map” fits perfectly into the PLO’s 1974 “phases” plan for the destruction of Israel in stages. Thus “Road Map” endangers Israel and rekindles the Arab hope of her destruction. 6. “Road Map” leaves unresolved fundamental Palestinian-Arab problems : non-viability of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, and rehabilitations of the Palestinian Refuges. With 70% of Israelis living within katyusha range from the Palestinian territories, the “Road Map” is A ROAD TO DISASTER “ELON PEACE PLAN” IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE “ROAD MAP” VISIT TO LEARN MORE This message is brought to you by the Land of Israel Committee

“ ELON PEACE PLAN ” - THE RIGHT ROAD TO PEACE KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE “ELON PEACE PLAN” 1. Dissolution of the terrorist Palestinian Authority and eradication of terror infrastructure. Israel will uproot the Palestinian terror infrastructure. All arms will be collected, incitement will be stopped and all the refugee camps, which serve as incubators for terror, will be dismantled. Terrorists and their direct supporters will be deported. 2. Development of Jordan as the Palestinian State. Israel, the United States and the international community will recognize the Kingdom of Jordan as the only legitimate representative of the Palestinians. Jordan will once again recognize itself as the Palestinian nation-state. In the context of a regional economic development program, Israel, the United States and the international community will put forth a concerted effort for the long-term development of Jordan, to rehabilitate its economy and enable it to absorb a limited number of refugees within its borders. 3. Assertion of Israeli sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and Gaza (the West Bank). The Arab residents of these areas will become citizens of the Palestinian state in Jordan. The status of these citizens, their connection to the two states and the manner of administration of their communal lives will be decided in an agreement between the governments of Israel and Jordan (Palestine). 4. Rehabilitation of all Palestinian refugees and completion of population exchange. Israel, the United States and the international community will allocate resources for the full rehabilitation of the all Palestinian refugees and their absorption and naturalization in various countries. The “Road Map” is not a real “two-state” solution. Without the complete destruction of Israel, Palestinian Arabs can only be offered a state-like entity, unable to sign international agreements, without an army and made up of a number of small and overcrowded fragments of territory. This Palestinian quasi-state would not have natural borders. Rather, population centers on both sides will straddle the border, perpetuating continued friction between Israelis and Palestinians. The Palestinian economy will be permanently dependent on Israel, leading to an intensification of the sense of humiliation felt by Palestinian Arabs. The refugee problem will not be solved. The motivation for terror will remain high. From every aspect – geographic, economic and demographic – it is clear that it will be impossible to resolve the problem within the small, overcrowded area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Only with application of a regional solution that includes the entire territory of British Mandatory Palestine (Land of Israel) can the peace process be salvaged. A regional solution based on geopolitical and economic logic can provide the Middle East with long-term peace, prosperity and stability. “ELON PEACE PLAN” IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE “ROAD MAP” VISIT TO LEARN MORE This message is brought to you by the Land of Israel Committee
