On the eve of US President George W. Bush's visit to Israel, a member of Israel's parliament is trying to drum up support for a new peace initiative - granting Jordanian passports to all Palestinians, dismantling the Palestinian Authority and abandoning any notions of an independent Palestinian state."In his way, (Bush) is leading us to catastrophe," warned Elon, a resident of a West Bank settlement and a representative of Israel's religious settlers, who believe ceding land to the Palestinians is a violation of biblical commandments and puts Israel in danger.

"In his way, (Bush) is leading us to catastrophe," warned Elon, a resident of a West Bank settlement and a representative of Israel's religious settlers, who believe ceding land to the Palestinians is a violation of biblical commandments and puts Israel in danger. In an interview with The Associated Press, Elon said he respected Bush's stand against Islamic extremists, but criticized him for being "disconnected from the reality" in Israel.

Elon's plan calls to provide Palestinian refugees financial incentives to emigrate, grant Jordanian citizenship to those who remain, and allow Israel to retain full sovereignty over the West Bank. All settlements in the West Bank would remain in place, and PA President Mahmoud Abbas's government would be shut down. Elon is now seeking new followers from a younger audience.Using a professionally produced mock movie trailer titled The Last Fanatic, which Elon's representatives are posting on YouTube, Elon hopes to garner international awareness for his plan.

The plan, drafted by lawmaker Benny Elon of the National Union Party and touted on billboards, Internet ads and YouTube, directly clashes with Bush's agenda for his coming visit - promoting a peace agreement that would see the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Elon's plan calls for giving Palestinian refugees financial incentives to emigrate, granting Jordanian citizenship to the remaining Palestinians, and allowing Israel to retain full sovereignty over the West Bank. All Israeli settlements in the West Bank would remain in place, and the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' government would be shut down.
