In his new Makor Rishon column, Hagai Segal wondered since Israel’s forced Evacuation/Compensation law for Jews was deliberate to be legitimate, though when we introduce that a same element – on a proffer basement – be practical for Arabs, it is derided as unrealistic.
I introduce that instead of a income Israel spends each decade per a terms of a Oslo Accords, we could deposit half a million dollars per Arab family meddlesome in emigration. Israel could deposit in an flight package that includes squeeze of property, assistance with anticipating work abroad, and income payouts. We could also offer reduction than half a million dollars and deposit a rest of a income that we are pouring into a Oslo Accords into improving a peculiarity of life for society’s many vulnerable, e.g. a elderly.
For a consequence of argument, we will stay with a offer to compensate half a million dollars. Polls uncover that some Arabs are really meddlesome in this option. We will not cruise factors that are formidable to calculate, such as a approaching diminution in a cost of land and housing inside a Green Line after this plan’s implementation. These factors strengthen my premise, though are formidable to calculate.
Another tiny introduction: My calculations will not use a loyal demographic information dynamic by Israel’s Yoram Ettinger and his consultant Israel-American team. Instead, we will use a arrogant information supposing by a Arabs of Yesha.
I asked my friend, Uri Noi, a meticulous, hi-tech veteran whose imagination is accurate calculation, to inspect this theme in depth. Noi presented a formula of his investigate in a 12-page document. Here are his conclusions:
Cost to Israel of a Oslo Accords:
1) Money transfers to a Palestinian Authority: 86 billion NIS (since Oslo) and 4.53 billion NIS annually.
2) General Security Service: 2.85 billion NIS and 1.5 billion NIS annually.
3) Border Police in Judea and Samaria: 13 billion NIS and 0.7 billion NIS annually.
4) IDF in Judea and Samaria: 57 billion NIS and 3 billion NIS annually.
5) Security guards everywhere: 68 billion NIS and 3.57 billion NIS annually.
6) Bypass roads: 20 billion NIS and 1 billion NIS annually.
7) Separation Wall: 4.7 billion NIS, a one-time expense.
8) Murder victims: 3.5 billion NIS for detriment of productivity.
9) Defensive Shield Operation: 14 billion NIS, a one-time expense.
10) Loss of income from tourism: 129 billion NIS and 1 billion NIS annually.
11) Decrease in cost of land for housing: 0 – for now.
In all, a Oslo Accords cost a Israeli open approximately 423 billion NIS for Judea and Samaria alone. In addition, they continue to cost a taxpayers 15.3 billion NIS annually – with no finish in sight.
The roughly 423 billion NIS that we have already paid is one and a half times some-more afterwards a 284 billion NIS that [Moshe] Feiglin proposes.
Since a Oslo Accords were signed, instead of spending $500,000 on each Arab family that could be assured to emigrate, we have spent $750,000. This sum is constantly increasing. It is a contrition that we didn’t listen to Feiglin earlier. He done this offer years ago, and this week he simply steady it.

If so, a doubt remains: Why is forced Evacuation/Compensation for Jews deliberate reasonable, while intentional Evacuation/Compensation for Arabs is deliberate unrealistic?
This is a genuine cost we have paid for a Oslo Accords. An whole era – people approximately 35 and underneath – has come of age after Oslo, noticing a Arab explain to a Land of Israel. These Israelis have grown adult desiring that a “salt of a earth” is a Arab, while a Jew is vital in a Jewish homeland on borrowed time. An whole era has grown adult meditative that they are guest in their possess land, and that they contingency compensate – and constantly cheat – a “true sons” of this land in sequence to clear their continued participation here.
This is since a offer to inspire flight is deliberate impractical today. Not since there is no income to order it, for it indeed saves money. Not since it is unethical, for there is no devise some-more ethical. Not since a Arabs are not interested, for many are really interested. Not since they have nowhere to go, for they have a far-reaching array of probable destinations.
