But V15 has not only relied on defensive statements. Last week it lodged a police complaint against Likud. The complaint claimed that a video circulated by Likud showed a masked terrorist making the “V” sign, with the number “15” next to the V. V15 alleged this constituted incitement.
There is another issue that has not yet garnered much attention. It should.
V15 FUNDER ONEVOICE SUPPORTS ARAB ‘RIGHT OF RETURN’ AND ‘GREEN LINE ONLY ISRAEL’
“We believe that it’s critical that the majority of Israelis who are concerned about the numerous security and socio-economic challenges we face have their voices heard in the next election,” OneVoice Israel’s Executive Director Polly Bronstein stated in a press release announcing its partnership with V15 and use of Jeremy Bird‘s consulting firm. “We need a prime minister and a government who will be responsive to the people.”
Even before publicly launching V15, in its 2014 Annual Report, OneVoice described its dedication to “peaceful solutions in the Middle East” as promoting “popular resistance, state-building, and the Arab Peace Initiative, while advocating for an end to the conflict and a two-state solution along the 1967 borders.”
But the majority of Israelis vehemently reject OneVoice’s understanding of what security means for Israel. Israelis don’t want “a two-state solution along the 1967″ lines. Even the Palestinian Authority concedes there will be land swaps to account for large population blocs ensconced in areas within or outside those Armistice lines. In other words, what OneVoice’s political “partner” (it’s spelled puppet) wants is to give away all of Judea, all of Samaria as well as East Jerusalem, including Har Habayit and the Kotel.
So the OneVoice plan for carving up Israel is even more extreme than what the Palestinian Authority demands. Hamas rejects the notion of any land swaps, it insists that the borders of a Palestinian State follow the so-called Green Line – the same position as OneVoice.
Similarly, the majority of Israelis reject a key component of the Arab Peace Initiative, which supports the so-called “right” of the now millions of Palestinian Arab so-called “refugees” to be given residency in the Jewish state of Israel. That would quickly end the Jewish majority within Green Line Israel, and be the end of the Jewish State.
Without waiting for the results of judicial or congressional findings or rejections of wrongdoing by V15, shouldn’t its opponents also be focused on a more problematic, even an existential issue?
That is: what V15 claims to want for Israel is not only not what Israelis want, it could mean the end of Israel as a Jewish state.
