Keys to Open Closed Societies

Ladies and Gentlemen.

For years South Africa was a closed society because of the policy of apartheid. In some pats of the world we were called the scum of the world. But today South Africa stands as a shining example of a working successful democracy on the African continent.

There were five keys that were used to bring about the desired democratic change. These five keys we will be discussing today opened our country to the international community to the delight of those who saw our potential. The lifting of sanctions on a global basis started to happen fast. The opening of new markets, the reciprocal attention by other countries to the markets offered in South Africa, and the growing number of countries in which there was an official South African presence, began to increase by the day.

These keys, I believe, can also work in this part of the world to bring about necessary changes and open up closed societies, even though they might have to be adapted in some cases.

1. Participation of the People:

a) It must be based on knowledge and understanding.
b) Remember that those with hidden agendas exploit the ignorance of the public.
c) Student protests are led mainly by those fed propaganda, those part of the hidden agenda and those without understanding. They must be given information.
d) They must be challenged to debate real issues and encouraged to propose alternatives if they disagree with their government.
e) They must also be made to own up to the consequences of their decisions.

Questions they could be asked:

a) Should Israel be condemned for target killing?
b) What about destroying homes that are built on tunnels used to smuggle weapons for the terrorists and suicide bombers?
c) What about the security fence?
d) What is more important between security and convenience?

Members of the public must be reminded of the days when Jerusalem was surrounded by a wall.

Because of high crime levels in South Africa, many communities are closed in with high walls and fences, which inconveniences some.

2. Commitment:

There must be a genuine commitment among all role players to build peace in the Middle East. Among the many important things that all stakeholders in this region must commit themselves to, in order to build peace and democracy, should be the following:

a) All role players must accept the right of the sovereign Jewish state to exist.
b) They must accept the right of Israel to live within safe and secure borders.
c) They must have respect for the human rights of all.
d) They must commit themselves to end violence and all terrorist activities, and replace them with sporting and cultural activities and education for/about peace.
e) They must stop poisoning the minds of school children and teaching them to hate.
f) Incitement to violence must be stopped and everybody must commit themselves to establish a democracy in the region.
g) The rights of Israel to pursue terrorists wherever they might be hiding must be respected.

3. Negotiations Based on Well Defined Objectives, Truth and Trust:

Some of the objectives should be to establish peace, security, democracy and mutual respect for one another.

They should also aim to build strategic partnerships with countries and groups that share democratic values and common interests.

Important Things to Remember When Negotiating Peace in the Region Should Include the Following:

a) Negotiate from a position of strength and not weakness. Your enemies must not lose respect for you.
b) Do not allow threats of terrorist retaliation, if certain demands are not met. It is not helpful for anyone to make demands when negotiations are taking place.
c) The most important one to remember is that Jerusalem is not negotiable.

Calls by Palestinians to have East Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian State must be treated as a joke. The name Jerusalem is almost synonymous with Israel. You can’t have one without the other.

East Jerusalem must never be given to anyone who is not Jewish. If the Israeli government ever capitulates and succumbs to international pressure to give away East Jerusalem, not long thereafter, they will be told to give away South or North Jerusalem until the whole of Jerusalem is lost. If Israel loses Jerusalem, then Israel will lose everything. That is why Jerusalem must not be divided.

Thousands of Christians who visit the holy land climax their visit in Jerusalem. If Jerusalem is every lost or given away by a compromising government that shall have sold out God’s people to their enemies, then those thousands of Christians would also be lost to this wonderful country. Many Christians don’t visit Bethlehem anymore because it was given to people who do not appreciate its significance.

4. Compromise:

Negotiations will inevitably necessitate compromise, but you don’t have to compromise on everything. While you can compromise on issues such as agendas, programmes, dates, deadlines, venues, etc a self-respecting leadership should never compromise on matters of security.

The international community in general and the United Nations Security Council in particular do not care about the security of Israel. They want the building of the security wall to stop, but they do not give those needing that additional security any other alternative. They never offer to help track down terrorists and those training suicide bombers.

Why until today has the UN not passed a resolution against suicide bombers and those harbouring or training them?

What about terrorist leaders who surround themselves with innocent women and children? Have such terrorists who used defenseless people as human shields ever been condemned by the UN? No. Why? It is because they don’t care about Israelis losing their lives. When Israel hits back in defense, then they scream.

This Summit must encourage the Israeli government to do whatever is necessary to protect their citizens.

The most fundamental God given responsibility of any government is to ensure the safety and security of its people.

The Israeli government must be encouraged to hunt down the terrorists who attack and bomb their children, women and men until they find them.

Yes, compromise, but not on security.

4. Political Will and Risk:

The history of Israel has not been an easy and rosy one. Struggle is part of their daily lives, and it does not look like it is going to change in the near future.

In spite of the unfairness, animosity and hatred for Israel by many in the world, she is still standing strong today.

Surely the God of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. The God of heaven watches over her.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is not possible for a nation as small as Israel to successfully defend herself against millions of enemies for so many years, if there was no supernatural hand of God protecting her. With this evidence glaringly available for all to see, in conclusion, I want to say to the people of Israel, “BE BOLD, BE STRONG, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU.”

To the government of Israel, I want to say, “Have the courage and conviction to stand your ground, and do what is in the best interest of your nations. Fulfill your God-given responsibility and protect your people from danger, terrorists and suicide bombers, even if that means erecting the security wall wherever necessary to offer maximum security possible to people under your care.

The risk you will be taking by so doing will be further isolating yourselves and losing some of those you thought were your friends. Those who do not love your security do not love you. Think about safety and security of your own people before you think about the outside world or international community. You made it before without them, you will make it again.

Remember the words of the Apostle Paul who once said, “If God be for us, who can be against us?”

GOD BLESS JERUSALEM
GOD BLESS ISRAEL AND HER SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
