The annexation of the West Bank
that they are speaking about now
Wow, political
Mai and Tal Tel Aviv and Modiin
What do you think?
Specifically?
If Israel should
No, not to annex in any way, shape or form, no
Why?
Me? No, for sure not
We need to find a solution
Two countries for two peoples
Two countries for two peoples
We live here, they live here so...
So then why not take them in?
We cannot take responsibility for so many people
Explain to people outside who don't understand
Think of the situation as 2.5 million Palestinians come into Israel
will they have equal rights to us or not?
If they don't, it will be an apartheid state which is not what we want
and if they do have equal rights
then it won't be a Jewish state It will be a state for all it's citizens
and that is something we have to arrive to if everyone wants that
and I don't think that is what we want
so in my view, it won't work
Something to add?
There are already too many different opinions
between us
clashes
from our side and their side
I see no chance that we can live together
the fact is that we can't find solutions even to the simplest issues
We are two different nations
and each has to start working on itself
uniting is impossible
It's not the same culture
Is annexing the West Bank a good idea?
Saar (he is a soldier in uniform) Southern Israel
Yes, it is an excellent idea
Does that mean also the Palestinian areas?
Yes, also the Palestinian areas, the Palestinian cities
What's important is that there be peace
and live together
How will that create peace?
Because maybe that will satisfy the Arab side
All the Arabs that live there maybe it will satisfy what they want
the conditions and services that they need to receive
and it could really improve
the lives of the people there
As a soldier, do you serve in the West Bank?
I don't serve there I serve elsewhere
I never really was in the West Bank
at least lately
and I don't think I will be there
but I think it will help
So that means that if this is all one country
and they have the same rights
then someone from Jenin and Ramallah
can move and buy a house here (in Akko)
without any issue
That is a different problem
because it depends where they will live
and which places
But if one country, everyone is equal, anyone can live where they want
We can't have that situation
because Israel won't allow
the people won't allow that to happen
and they will receive bad treatment
whether they (Palestinians) are good people or not good people
Why?
Explain to someone outside
why Arabs and Jews don't get along
Because
there are many prejudices and stigmas about Arabs
Things that have happened to us
where Muslims did things to us
that we remember
and no one forgets
and in the end, it gets to all of us
The government is talking about annexing the West Bank
are you for or against?
For what?
The annexation of the West Bank
What does that mean?
That Jenin, Ramallah will be part of Israel
and they will get Israeli citizenship
No, I don't think so
Why?
Saar Akko
I don't think it is relevant or that it should happen
So what should happen?
I don't think they should receive Israeli citizenship
Mordechai Nahariya
Do you think the annexation of the West Bank is a good idea?
Let's put it this way I have two opinions
I don't want them with me
Palestinians? - Yes
and I don't want me to be with them
but I am for the Land of Israel...
For example, I am willing to give Akko (where we filmed)
but then give me what I was raised on in my home
my parents in Morocco
What is the phrase?
"Next year in Jerusalem. Next year in the Land of Israel"
Israel according to Jewish law
if the Messiah will come
the Messiah
He passes over Akko Akko is not part of the Land
Really? -No, it isn't
Even the RaMCHal died in Akko (Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto)
he was buried just outside Akko
in a place that is within the Land of Israel
but Akko is not part of the Land
Where does it start?
Outside Akko
But where?
Near Kfar Makr
Where is that?
Five minutes from Akko
That is according to Jewish law
So I am willing to give Akko then give me Hebron
I am just saying
I am not religious but I believe in the Land of Israel
But I don't want to annex the Palestinians
No? - No
What?
Then who does Akko belong to?
It doesn't belong to the Nation of Israel
In Jewish law, this does not belong to the Nation of Israel
So who does it belong to? Lebanon?
No
It doesn't belong to the Nation but today it is ours
because we are here
But according to Jewish law
But according to Jewish law, no
It doesn't belong to us

Lately they are talking about the annexation of the West Bank
Did you hear about this?
No
There are a few politicians talking about
annexing, that the Palestinians part will be part of
the state of Israel
No
They won't
They won't be part of Israel
No, for sure not
Do you know what I am talking about?
Lauren Kfar Yona
I don't agree with it
Because it is a Jewish country
It is our country
But there are alreay a lot of Arab here (Israeli citizens)- 20%
Ok
I actually do agree (with annexing)
Why?
I agree because it is also their country
in the end
Also here, where we are now, in Haifa?
All of the Land of Israel
So it is also the Land of Palestine
But there are those (Palestinians) who do all the nonsense, right?
"nonsense" you mean terrorism?
Yes, it shouldn't be like that
We should be equal
For everything, we should use our minds
They should be in their areas we should be in our areas
But if it will be one country
someone from Jenin or Ramallah can move to live in Haifa, why not?
It's their country too
I think the opposite of him They should't be here
It's our country
It's our country and we...
we (Jews) need to be there (in Palestinian areas)
We need our own state for us
And what do you say?
I stay with what I said
they need to receive rights
like any of us
But there are some Palestinians who are crazy who think
who use violence
I am translating from your word "crazy"
like their religious (Islamic) issues
that shouldn't happen
we need peace between the nations and then all will be good
(and yes, they are a couple)
Is the annexation of the West Bank a good idea?
Dima Tel Aviv
Annexation is not a good idea
Why?
Because
the whole issue of the demographic threat
The demographic threat
of 2 million Palestinians becoming part of the country
but we do need to get to some sort of arrangement
where first we take into consideration the security needs of the state
Do you think the right wing- this is coming from the right
that they are doing it in order to solve the problem?
That is the reason?
The reason for the annexation?
The annexation seems to be a solution
to the Palestinian question
is that what they are saying?
It is one solution but we don't know the effects it will have
It is a solution
but there are other solutions that we need to think of
The question is what solution is better for us, the Israelis
So why is this not good you are explaining to people outside
that don't understand
Why is it not good? - Yes, why is it a demographic issue
I see that we now have 1.5 million Arabs in the country
and then add another 2.5 million
We'll have 4 million
And it is a population that is mostly poor
so we will use up a lot of our social services
it will take a lot of money from the country
They likely won't serve in the army
or do national service
It won't contribute anything to us
that population
It's not like they are coming from the high tech sector
who will help with economic development
Economically it is not a good idea
Is annexing the West Bank
Shira Kfar Saba
a good idea?
Yes - Why?
So there will be peace
How will it create peace?
We give, we give up some things
and there will be peace
That means that Palestinians 2 million Palestinians
will have the same rights as you
Terrific
They will be Israeli citizens
and that means they can also move to be your neighbour
They are already my neighbour
Do you have Palestinian neighbours in Kfar Saba?
My cleaning lady is Arab
I am a pre-school teacher
and I have an Arab employee there
And if she ends up being your neighbour?
She is my neighbour
So you don't see anything negative there - No
Do you think they want it? (annexation)
Yes
They want to have rights
They are now talking about the annexation of the West Bank
Amit Raanana
No, we don't need them - Why?
They should stay there
The Palestinians? - Yes
They should stay there in their villages
from the Jews (settlers) if it is not good, they can come back here
So you are saying...
We shouldn't annex
the entire West Bank
should go to the Palestinians? - Exactly, they deserve it
Oh they even deserve it? - Yes
