Occupied Jerusalem - Uzi Cohen , a member of Ariel Sharon’s right-wing party, the Likud, has proposed the creation of a Palestinian state in northern Jordan in preparation for the expulsion of all non-Jews from Palestine.

Cohen told the Israeli-state run Sunday that there is widespread support in Israel for “the idea of ethnic cleansing.”

“ Many people support the idea (ethnic cleansing), but few are willing to speak about it publicly.”

Cohen, an influential figure in the Likud, proposed that Israel, the United States, the European Union as well as Oil-rich Arab states make concerted efforts to create a Palestinian state in northern Jordan.

He suggested that the Hashemite royal family in Amman “might view favorably this idea.”

Cohen, who is also deputy-mayor of the town of Ra’anana, said Palestinians should be given 20 years to “leave voluntarily.”

“In case the didn’t leave, then plans would have to be drawn to expel them by force.”

Cohen’s manifestly racist ideas have drawn strong reactions from Palestinian leaders in Israel.

Israeli Arab Knesset member Ahmed Teibi described Cohen as representing “Israel’s ugly face.”

“This man espouses Jewish fascism and he is trying to foster his venomous ideas, and I must say he is making remarkable success,” Teibi said.

“The idea of ethnic cleansing is no longer confined to the far-right parties in Israel; many in the Likud support ethnic cleansing.”

Teibi said tabling a racist proposal for discussion is in itself a grave development.

“It is not important what the result will be. The important thing is that they are going to dignify a fascist proposal like this by discussing it in a formal meeting.”

Demographic woes

Israeli leaders have been warning of late against the “encroaching Palestinian demographic threat.”

On Friday, a leading Jewish demographer warned that Jews were on the verge of becoming a minority in mandatory Palestine extending from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has so far been circumspect at the idea of banishing the Palestinians from their ancestral land.

Last year, when members of his Likud party approached him with the idea, Sharon reportedly told them that “the international situation wouldn’t be conducive to expelling the Palestinians.”

In 1948, the newly-born Jewish state expelled the bulk of the Palestinian population from what is now Israel and utterly destroyed more than 460 Arab towns and villages.

Israel has consistently refused to allow the repatriation of the refugees, arguing that allowing some or all of them back to their homes, many of which no longer exist, would undermine the “Jewish identity” of Israel.
