(Israelnationalnews.com) MK Prof. Aryeh Eldad (National Union) is planning to hold a conference under the heading 'Jordan is Palestine' in the coming days. Dutch politician Geert Wilders will attend.
"The purpose of the conference is to present an alternative plan to the two-state solution,” Eldad told Arutz Sheva's Hebrew language service. “We are saying that there already is a Palestinian state, Jordan, 70% of whose residents are Palestinians,” he explained. “It already takes up three quarters of the territory of the British Mandate, so that the partition has already been carried out. We demand that Jordan be recognized as [the Palestinian state] formally, and not just de facto."
Eldad says that all Israel needs to do, in order to find a partner for the idea, is to raise the plan publicly. “The world does not pay attention to these statements because we still have a taboo on merely broaching the subject.”
Last year, Eldad added, he initiated a debate on this matter at the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, but MK Tzachi HaNegbi, Chairman of the Committee, was concerned it could “upset the Jordanians” and decided to bury it.
Eldad said that Wilders sees clearly the reality in Europe, which is gradually turning Muslim – and understands that Israel is the forward position in the West's struggle against Islam. “If Israel falls, the West will fall too,” he said.
Geert Wilders – the Next Dutch PM?

(Israelnationalnews.com) The Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) led by Geert Wilders is leading both of the nation's major opinion polls. While the party currently holds only nine seats of the 150 seats in the Dutch Lower House Parliament, both the Synovate Political Barometer and pollster Maurice de Hond say the party stands to be the largest in Parliament following the next national elections.
A Synovate poll released Wednesday shows PVV in a tight race with the Christian Democratic Alliance (CDA), which currently holds 41 seats. If elections were held this week, both parties would win 32 seats, Synovate pollsters found.
Maurice de Hond's polls show PVV winning roughly 32 seats as well. A third poll, the TNS NIPO, shows PVV winning 28 seats to 24 for the CDA. If PVV were to win the plurality of Parliament seats, Wilders would be called to assemble the Netherlands' next ruling coalition.
Wilders is known worldwide for his views on Islam. He created the short movie Fitna, which links Koranic verses to modern terrorism, and has called the Koran “fascist” and Islam a “totalitarian ideology.” He suggests that the right to religious freedom should not apply to Islam, and he has called for his country to ban the building of new mosques.
He is currently planning a sequel to Fitna that will document the effects of mass Muslim immigration to non-Muslim countries.
Backlash over Fitna and over Wilders' controversial statements on Islam appears to have boosted his popularity. PVV's popularity rose in polls after an Amsterdam court decided to press charges against Wilders over his statements regarding Islam, and rose again after Wilders was denied entrance to Britain, where he planned to show his movie.
PVV won a significant victory last month, when it received four out of the Netherlands' 25 seats in the European Union Parliament. PVV got 17 percent of the vote, putting it just three percent behind the leading CDA.
Anti-Islam and anti-immigration parties won elsewhere in the EU as well: the whites-only British National Party won two seats for the first time, Austria's Freedom Party gained seats, and the anti-immigration Jobbik party won three of 22 seats in Hungary.

Liveleak Publishes, Then Retracts
After his own site - FitnaTheMovie.com - was closed down by Network Solutions, Geert Wilders published Fitna on the video website Liveleak on Thursday evening, March 27, 2008. By March 29, Liveleak had removed Fitna from the site due to threats from Muslims. The movie was replaced by an announcement from Liveleak explaining their decision:
"Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers. "This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.
"Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture.
"We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high."
Condemnation
The movie has drawn condemnation from Arab countries around the world, as well as from Australia, Holland, the European Union and the United Nations. Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, for example, rejected the film's premise of equating Islam with acts of terror and violence and said it is an attempt to incite racial hatred. Even the Netherlands' Central Jewish Board called the film's focus on anti-Jewish preaching by Muslims "counterproductive" and "generalizing."
Content
The movie screens explicit texts from the Koran, as well as Moslem clerics calling for murder and violence towards all non-believers.
One frenzied Moslem cleric is seen calling for the murder of Jews; he unsheathes a sword and cries out, "By Allah, we shall cut off the Jew's head! Allah is great! Allah is great! Jihad for the sake of Allah!" The audience, in a similar frenzy, cheers him on.
One of the Koranic verses quoted in the movie reads, "Those who have disbelieved our signs, we shall roast them in fire. Whenever their skins are cooked to a turn, we shall substitute new skins for them, that they may feel the punishment. Verily, Allah is sublime and wise." This is followed by scenes of enemies of Islam being dragged through the streets, a bombed-out bus in London, an imam calling for death to all Jews, and signs at Moslem rallies reading, "Be prepared for the real Holocaust," "God bless Hitler," and "Islam will dominate the world."
Another quoted verse: "Therefore, when ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks, and when ye have caused a bloodbath among them, bind a bond firmly on them." Another Moslem preacher is then seen saying calmly, "Throats must be slit and skulls must be shattered - this is the path to victory."
Imams and Moslem leaders are shown preaching, "Islam is a religion that wants to rule the world. It has done so before, and eventually will rule it again... By Allah, the day will come when we will rule the entire world again! The day will come when we will rule America! The day will come when we will rule Britain! ... You will take over the USA! You will defeat them all! You will get victory!" %ad%
US Media Interest
The United States media has been relatively quiet on the story, compared to the amount of attention the movie continues to receive in the European press. The New York Times, for instance, last reported it on Thursday.
The Washington Post has an Associated Press story concentrating on the reactions to the movie, with nothing about its content; the report relates to the film as an "insult" to Islam, with quotes by many Islamic political leaders to this effect and comparing it to the Danish cartoons about Muhammed. An earlier Reuters story in the Washington Post followed the same line, though it included one and a half sentences describing the film's actual content.
