I only implied that the oil is one consideration. ***********3. Zionists always have their own strong reasons for "Greater Israel" agenda which, unfortunately, the International Law doesn't allow. An Analysis of the Camp David Peace Process Adapted from addresses by the Lubavitcher Rebbe I. The Halachah The Camp David accords, which so many Jews hoped would bring the peace so long awaited, are in reality the exact opposite. They constitute a grave danger to the security of Eretz Yisroel, and on the grounds of pikuach nefesh Halachah forbids the surrender of any territory necessary for security. II. The Folly The signing of the Camp David accords by Eretz Yisroel is the most senseless folly imaginable. We have ceded our security ā lands, oil, settlements and airfields ā for nothing but a piece of paper that can be torn up at any time. The "peace" we thought to gain is a bitter illusion, and the only result is that now we are infinitely weaker and the enemy infinitely more powerful. III. Fallacy and Truth The humiliating concessions made by Eretz Yisroel under the Camp David accords are a direct result of Jewish weakness. Instead of basing our claim to the land on G-dās promise to His people, we prefer to rely on the goodwill and generosity of the non-Jew. Instead of being proud and firm in our identity, we adopt non-Jewish attitudes and quail and cower before the gentile nations. ----------------------It is about Peace ------------------- peace-physical or mental tranquility; calm; serene; absence of war or hostilities;the state of harmony between people.
