The idea of "deportation" is back in fashion, and its fan list is growing by the minute, which means it's time to discuss it with an open mind willing to change old views, and with a slightly more contemporary vision of Israel and its future.
Deportation this time, as the mind usually goes to in Israel, does not mean the displacement of Arabs from their homes and sending them all to hell, because of the lawsuits and international monitoring, and the need for a level of immoderate physical pressure, but it means - according to an article by the writer B Michael in the newspaper - the use of a little creativity, to find human materials transferable and does not require anyone to leave his home, move from his place of residence, transfer his property, or perform any activity that includes Movement.
This deportation has advantages and no fault, will be greeted with loud applause, raise Israel's standing among nations, restore its former glory as a democracy, and lead to the appreciation of the shekel against major currencies.
In addition to all these virtues, this deportation is easy and can take place within days, hours or even minutes, because the candidates for transfer, all with their wives, children, sheep and guns, are already abroad, and it is enough to officially inform them that they are henceforth abroad, as well as to inform the border agents that the Green Line is the eastern border of the State of Israel.
Of course, any discerning reader will realize that what is meant is the settlers, and that this transfer is an important and useful work, because the sovereign and semi-rational state does not need to tolerate a false pagan racist sect that does not hide its ambition to undermine the foundations of the state and replace it with superstitious "sanctities" from the Middle Bronze Age, especially since this sect is a pernicious danger that threatens the existence, mental health and values of the state, much more than all its external enemies.
For Israel, according to Bei Mikael, these settlers are like extremist groups in some Middle Eastern countries and in Iran, and they are no different from what evangelical Christians will be for the United States soon: these settlers are gangs of violent fanatics convinced that their strange God speaks from their throats, that they are above all people and that anything is permissible in order to fulfill their whims.
"All these things must be stopped quickly and decisively, before the catastrophe they desire falls on all of us."
The author concludes sarcastically, "To the merciful Jews who will worry about the fate of the deported settlers, do not worry. Soon after their disappointment, they will convert to Islam or Christianity or recover."
