On Saturday 20 March 2010, The Middle East Studies Centre held a seminar in its headquarters in Amman, entitled "Alternative Homeland: Scenarios of Implementation and Ways of Confrontation". The significance of the seminar springs from the Israeli extreme right taking over power in Israel as well as the Israeli's re-proposing the Alternative Homeland project to get out of the political crisis of both Israel and the peace process. The seminar aims at demonstrating the danger of going back to the Alternative Homeland project and its consequences to Jordan and the Palestinian issue; discussing the scenarios of its implantation along with the mechanisms of confrontation; and presenting the determiners of a joint strategic vision in this regard. The project is referred to by the seminar to represent one of the strategic foundations of the Zionist project based on the possession of "land without a people for a people without land". The possible mechanisms and attempts of implementing the Israeli vision are addressed, some of which may be carried out by Israel and some Arab, regional and international parties to realize the Israeli vision. Such parties may help in compensation instead of return or hold peace agreements with Israel in a bid to both support its existence and maintain its security. The seminar also discussed the possible confrontation to the Alternative Homeland until clear attitudes are taken. The seminar has called for the setting of a straightforward strategy of confrontation that maintains Jordan with its coherent society, guarantees the rights of the Palestinian people and issue - on top of which is supporting the resistance in face of the Zionist project - and emphasizes the importance of the Jordanian society unity. Finally, it has to be emphasized that the Israeli threat to Palestine and Jordan should be a factor of unifying, rather than a cause for raising disputes or creating suffering for the Palestinians.
