Borders

The Likud Party has a very strong opinion on where the borders for Israel should be. They believe that the land that Israel controls is theirs and theirs alone, that the Palestinians should never be allowed back into their country, and that no land should be given up. This can be shown by several quotes from their platform, which clearly states their beliefs on the Israeli/ Palestine border problem. The first quote “the government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river.” Secondly “Jerusalem is the eternal, united capital of the Sate of Israel and only of Israel.” Thirdly “ the Jordan river will be the permanent eastern border of the State of Israel. Finally “ the Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values, and the Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting.”. After reading the Lukid parties ideas on the issue, it is clear, that as long as the Lukid party has a say in the politics of Israel that the Palestinians will never be willingly let back into their homelands.

2. Right of Return

The Likud Party has two very different views towards the two rights of return laws. The Israeli right of return law passed in 1950 says “ every Jew has the right to come to this country as an immigrant and be granted automatic Israeli citizenship.” The problem with this law is that there is no clear definition of a Jew. The Israeli government passed laws stating that everyone had to have identity cards showing two classifications; nationality and religion. To list Jew as your religion, you had to be accepted by an orthodox Rabbi. As a result if an Orthodox Rabbi does not accept you, then you cannot claim to be Jewish in your religion. You are still allowed to live in Israel, but you cannot marry a Jewish women and you cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetery. The Likud party is taking the side of the Orthodox Rabbis because that is where most of its support comes from. As a result as long as the Orthodox Jews keep voting for the Liqud party, the Likud party will back them up.

The other right of return applies to the Palestinians and says that they should be allowed to return to their homeland, which is now Israel. The Likud party is completely against this, in fact most of what it does is completely opposite of that.

3. the Green Wall

• The Green wall is also known as the Green Line.
• It is used to refer to an agreement called the 1949 Armistice Agreements, established between the Israel and its neighbors, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
• This agreement ended the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, or Israeli War of Independence.
• The agreement is signed by Israel with its Arab neighbors, though its affects the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Palestinians and Arabs did not agree to the agreement.
• The green line was used to differentiate the areas within the Israeli side of the line.
• It was also used to prevent unwanted people from entering the country.
• The line was mainly for the 1948 war, but then later it became clear that the line also separates many places it divided towns and villages and also separated farmers fro their fields.
• That now since the war is over, it is used to keep terrorists out from Israel.
• Most impacted were Jerusalem, which the line divided in half, into Eastern and Western Jerusalem. Back then the Israel had
• The wall has proved to be fairly affective, but some people say that it is unfair to the Arabs.
• The Likud party hates the Arabs and if therefore pro the wall more because of the reason, that it sends a message of supported than anything else.
• The Likud party is one of the strongest supporters of the green wall

4. Settlements

Likud thinks all settlements should be stay, as a part of the “Israeli unilateral disengagement plan”. This will demolish four settlements on the West Bank. Then $500,000 will be given to each family that was forced to relocate. That would be about 1,500 families that would be paid the relocation money. The U.S would likely be helping to cover these costs.

5. Jerusalem

Likud warns that Jerusalem is theirs and there should be no discussion or debate about it. A majority of both Israelis and Palestinians support the idea of having Jerusalem’s holy sites be under Israeli control and having the Christian and Muslim sites be under the Palestinian control.

6. Gaza

• There cannot be Peace in Gaza its not the Likud’s party. The only way to be peace is the Likud Party to kick them out, or take over because the Likud party believes that the land belongs to them and they’re willing to do anything to have it back.
• Israel occupied Gaza strip on June 1967 during the Six-Day War.
• The Israel controlled the population registry, entry of foreigners, imports and exports as well as the tax system.
