The Solution of Transfer
Moledet Pushes Transfer
The Moledet Party, whose leader Rabbi Benny Elon
succeeded Gen. (res). Rechavam Ze'evi upon the latter's
assassination last October, is engaged in a public relations
campaign to promote its idea of "transfer" as the solution to
the Israeli-Arab problem. The proposal calls for the transfer
of Arabs out of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza and into Jordan, the
"original" Palestine. A pamphlet distributed with this past
weekend's Ma'ariv newspaper notes that Dr. Fridtjof Nansen
of Norway won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922 for his idea to
exchange populations between Greece and Turkey. The
populations transferred in this manner numbered no less than
1.3 million Greeks and 400,000 Turks, each of whom returned
to their respective homelands. For his work with refugees and
helping successfully implement this idea, Dr. Nansen won the
Nobel Peace Prize. For more information, see
"http://www.mnc.net/norway/Nansen.htm".
The Moledet Party also quotes the late Prime Minister
Yitzchak Rabin, in the book "Chiefs of Staff Talk," on the
topic of transfer:
"Problems of this natures [the refugees] have been solved by
moving populations... The Soviet Union brought about border
changes in Eastern Europe, leading to the movement of
population in the 30-millions [of people]... One of the
examples of this was in Sudetenland, from which three million
Germans were evacuated... Certainly we need not use force
the way the Soviet Union did, but in my opinion we can bring
about the movement of population in other ways."
