I. DIPLOMATIC STRATEGY FOR THE DEFENSE OF JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATIONAL
VALUES
Gender apartheid and religious intolerance, are the two most
objectionable aspects of Islamic radicalism today. These issues should
become the target for assertive action by those who feel that their entire
system of values and world view are gravely imperiled by the spread of
Islamic extremism. For a concerted drive to abolish gender apartheid and
religious repression on the one hand, and to enhance the status of Moslem
women and install religious pluralism/tolerance in the Moslem world, on
the other, would do much to underpin Judeo-Christian values and undermine
the cause of Islamic radicalism across the international stage. Indeed,
an endeavor of this kind, if successful, could be a major force for promoting
positive and moderating change in the very fabric of Islamist regimes.
In implementing of such a drive, the major thrust of effort should be
focused on persuading governments to adopt the type legislation which
reflect the spirit of the Jackson/Vanik
amendment in the conduct of their foreign policy. It was this amendment,
which made benefits contingent on domestic reform and liberalization,
that eventually succeeded in applying pressure on the USSR to allow Jewish
emigration and induced greater tolerance in the Soviet's regime attitude
to minority groups.
Similarly, groups that hold Bible-based, Judeo-Christian values dear,
should marshal their resources to influence both incumbent politicians,
government officials and civil society elites and o pinion makers for
the incorporation of similar, morally sound principles in their country's
foreign policy.

strategy, its rationale and operational components see http://jerusalemsummit.org/eng/diplomatic_strategy.php
II. A 3-D VISION OF PEACE
De- politicization of the Problem;
De- militarization of PA;
De- jihadization of Palestinians
We continue working on an Alternative Plan to the Arab-Israeli
conflict which integrates plans and arguments of the best minds connected
to the Jerusalem Summit.
De-politicization implies a change of paradigm: from trying in vain to
placate historically, legally and morally unjustified political demands
of Palestinian leadership to caring for legitimate humanitarian needs
of Palestinian people.
Humanitarian Paradigm is described in the paper by Dr. Martin Sherman
and is supported by the
results of a poll conducted among Palestinians.
The urgency of a need for an intellectually honest and morally clear alternative
is based on assessments from the top Israeli military and political experts
that the Unilateral Disengagement from Gaza will lead to a major war,
constituting a mortal danger to Israel, Middle East security and the free
world.
Please, read some of these assessments:
IDF Chief of Staff Gen.
Moshe Yaalon, Maj. General (res.);
Gen.Yakov Amidror, VP, Lander Institute, Jerusalem & Former Commander
of the Israeli Military Colleges and
Yuval Stenitz, M.K, Chairman, Knesset Foreign Affairs & Defense
Committee; Chairman Subcommittee for Intelligence and Secret Services.
III. JERUSALEM ALTERNATIVE
Balfour Books (USA) has published Jerusalem
Alternative, a collection of best presentations from the first Jerusalem
Summit. The book lays intellectual foundation to the necessity and parameters
of the alternative to the failed Oslo process.
