Alexis Keller defends racist ideas?

Alexis Keller, the Swiss promoter of Geneva initiative, was, January 14, invited by the Association Mosaïque in the University of Lausanne to speak about this initiative. He thinks that this initiative represents the maximum that the Israelis can give up, and the minimum that the Palestinians can accept. He explained that both parties have red lines that they cannot cross. One of theses lines is the right of the Palestinian refugees to return home. According to him, Israel cannot admit their return because it must remain a "Jewish State" (with Jewish majority).

Someone in the room indicated to him that the concept "Jewish State" is racist. Indeed, one should know that this Jewish State is built on 385 Palestinian villages destroyed by Israel. The inhabitants of these villages have been expelled for the only crime of being non-Jews. One of these villages is Emmaus destroyed by the bulldozers and transformed in a picnic place called Canada Park. So, the Russian Sharon and the Pole Peres, because they are Jews, have the right to go to Palestine and to destroy its villages to create a "Jewish State". On the other hand, the Palestinian refugees don't have the right to return home for the simple reason that they are not Jews. If this is not racism, one should explain to us what is racism.

To achieve peace, according to the Geneva initiative, one should then sacrifice the Palestinian refugees… in flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions and of the International Law!! We have here to mention that the Geneva initiative, distributed in Israel and the Occupied territories, was not distributed to refugees who live in camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. But would the refugees accept to be sacrificed as sheep in slaughter-house? Are they not pushed in this way to more despair acts?

What other alternative for peace? In the debate that followed the conference, someone proposed to Alexis Keller the idea of the creation of one democratic state in Palestine/Israel with equal rights for all, whatever is their religion… Alexis Keller refused this idea… … because it is necessary to maintain a "Jewish State" with a Jewish majority!!! Palestinian refugees go to hell!!!

Alexis Keller défend des idées racistes?

Alexis Keller, promoteur suisse de l'initiative de Genève, était le 14 janvier l'invité de l'Association Mosaïque à l'Université de Lausanne pour parler de cette initiative. Il estime que cette initiative représente le maximum de ce que les Israéliens peuvent concéder et le minimum de ce que les Palestiniens peuvent accepter. Pour les deux parties, explique-t-il, il y a des lignes rouges qu'elles ne peuvent traverser. Parmi ces lignes: le droit au retour des réfugiés palestiniens chez eux. Selon lui, Israël ne peut admettre ce retour parce qu'il doit rester un "État juif" (avec majorité juive).

Quelqu'un dans la salle lui a signalé que le concept "État juif" est raciste. En effet, il faut savoir que cet État juif est construit sur 385 villages palestiniens détruits par Israël. Les habitants de ces villages ont été expulsés pour le seul crime de ne pas être juifs. Un de ces villages est le fameux village d'Emmaüs rasé aux bulldozers et transformé en place de pique-nique appelé Parc Canada. Ainsi Sharon le russe, et Pérès le polonais, parce qu'ils sont juifs, ont le droit de venir en Palestine et de détruire ses villages pour créer un "État juif". De l'autre côté, les réfugiés palestiniens n'ont pas le droit de revenir chez eux pour le simple fait qu'ils ne sont pas juifs. Si cela n'est pas du racisme, il faut nous expliquer ce qu'est le racisme.

Pour faire la paix, selon l'initiative de Genève, il faut donc sacrifier les réfugiés palestiniens …. en violation flagrante des conventions de Genève et du droit international! D'ailleurs l'initiative de Genève distribuée en Israël et dans les territoires occupés, ne fut pas distribuée aux réfugiés qui se trouvent dans les camps en Jordanie, au Liban et en Syrie. Mais est-ce que les réfugiés vont accepter de se laisser sacrifier comme des moutons qu'on mène à l'abattoir? Ne les pousse-t-on pas de cette manière à plus d'actes de désespoir?

Quelle autre alternative pour la paix? Dans le débat qui a suivi la conférence, on a proposé à Alexis Keller l'idée de la création d'un seul état démocratique en Palestine/Israël avec des droits égaux pour tous, quelle que soit leur religion…. Alexis Keller a refusé cette idée … parce qu'il faut maintenir un "État juif" à majorité juive!!! Et tant pis pour les réfugiés palestiniens!!!
