In The Smear Campaign Against the Right on the Rabin Assassination and the Mass Killing at Deir Yassin a number of the illegal and anti-democratic tactics used to promote the Oslo Accords, were discussed.
What was not discussed was the motivation behind the left-wing masterminds that were pushing such an extremely risky deal between Israel and pro-terrorist Arabs.
According to Ron Pundak, a leading architect of the accords, its real goal was a desire to abandon particularistic Jewish identity. “[i]Peace is not an end in itself. It is a means for moving Israel from one era to another, to an era of what I consider a normal country [emphasis added]. The Israelization of society instead of its Judaization.”
A variation of this same theme appears in the writings of Left-wing Yair Lapid (who briefly served as Prime Minister) in his Explanation of the Expulsion of the Jews from Settlements in Gaza – Ariel Sharon’s so-called “Disengagement”.
Fourteen months after the disengagement, leading journalist (and current member of Knesset) Yair Lapid, a prominent member of the secular elite substantiated this claim in his column:
Why was it so urgent and important for Israel to evacuate Gaza..? I want to propose a theory: it was not despite the settlers, but because of them. It was never about the Palestinians, demography, the striving for a peace agreement, the relative weakness of the IDF or any of the explanations we were given (and that were contradicted again and again). The motive was entirely different: it had to do with upsetting the delicate balance that existed between the settler society and Israeli society… Over the previous twenty years national-religious people had made extensive use of the secular people to achieve a set of political and, particularly, religious goals… But Israelis do not like to be donkeys, whoever it is that is riding them: “the pendulum stays where it is” is a well-known political tenet in Israel… The farther the pendulum is pushed, the greater the force with which it returns.
Just as the Israeli Left sees the Jewish settlement movement as an ideological adversary that threatens their control over Israel, the International Left views Israel in general and the settlement movement in particular as an ideological adversary. An adversary in their view that gives strength not only to Judaism, but also to Christian-Zionism and traditional nationalism. This helps to explain the real reason why Soros Funds the Protests and the Protested
