The Blogs: Oasis 1: A New Zionism for Israel’s Future

“Congratulations, you, too, have just won a plot from the Zionist government!” This simple phrase encapsulates a transformative vision—Oasis 1—a new approach to Zionism where vetted Gazans become stakeholders in Israel’s future.

On March 21, 2025, el-Sisi offered to temporarily host 500,000 Gazans in North Sinai, a significant gesture. Yet, Israel need not rely on this external support—Oasis 1 can flourish independently within our borders.

This initiative proposes a Negev-based pilot Integrated Kibbutz model that could start small by welcoming 6,000-15,000 vetted Gazans by early 2026, granting them plots through a lottery system.

Using existing skills, such as olive farming, they could produce “Oasis Olive Oil,” fostering economic growth and goodwill. As these partnerships strengthen, kibbutzim could extend to the Green Line, Judea and Samaria’s borders, and the Golan Heights—all under Israel’s sovereign direction.

My 30 years of anthropological research affirms that providing a stake in Israel’s future encourages participation—el-Sisi’s move validates the approach’s potential, but Israel can forge this path alone.

Gantz’s call for “restoration, not destruction” on March 21 aligns with this vision, offering National Unity a framework to explore a self-reliant Zionism that secures our future by 2045.

A New Framework: Investing in Israel’s Survival

Traditional Zionism established Israel through resilience—securing land and defending borders. Oasis 1 envisions a complementary evolution: integrating vetted Gazans as investors rather than viewing them solely as outsiders. A lottery system would award plots in Negev kibbutzim—land vetted by IDF and Unit 8200—transforming recipients into active contributors with a vested interest in Israel’s prosperity.

While el-Sisi’s offer to host 500,000 Gazans temporarily is a commendable step, it is an optional complement to Oasis 1, not its foundation. My February 2023 outreach and correspondence to el-Sisi highlighted North Sinai’s potential—$25-45 billion for Egypt—but Israel’s Negev can independently sustain this initiative. Gazans could cultivate olive oil—“Oasis Olive Oil”—generating jobs and goodwill, reducing tension by 60-80% as former adversaries become partners. This echoes Abraham’s hospitality to strangers (Genesis 23), secured by rigorous vetting processes.

The potential extends further—kibbutzim could emerge along the Green Line, Judea and Samaria’s borders, and Golan Heights, all driven by Israel’s initiative. Without integration, Israel risks collapse by 2045—civil war and global isolation loom, as my “unify or die” thesis cautions. Gantz’s emphasis on “hope in people” resonates here—National Unity could champion this Zionism of investment, achieving a 10-20% GDP boost without external dependence.

How It Could Function: Negev as the Cornerstone

Envision a Negev pilot launching by early 2026—6,000-15,000 vetted Gazans integrated into 85 kibbutzim with a $1.8-3.6 billion investment. Lottery winners would receive plots—“You’ve won!”—and leverage skills like olive farming to produce “Oasis Olive Oil,” a symbol of peace and productivity. This could generate $500 million to $1 billion annually in agriculture, industry, and tourism jobs. A light rail from Ashdod could attract visitors, with Bedouin hospitality enhancing appeal, potentially yielding $1-2 billion yearly by 2032—all within Israel’s borders.

This approach addresses Gaza’s dire realities—40-60% unemployment and 97% unfit water-fuel unrest—but Oasis 1 reframes Gazans as contributors. Investors with a stake don’t undermine the state; they bolster it—Grok 3 projects a 90-95% terror drop by 2045. My March 20 analysis confirms this can operate independently of el-Sisi’s North Sinai offer, though his 500,000 aligns with my retention goals. Israel could expel threats, integrate the rest, and manage returns to Gaza by 2026-2027 via the MAX Caravan Line—all under IDF oversight.

Success could expand kibbutzim to the Green Line, Judea and Samaria’s borders, and Golan Heights—Israel’s sovereign choice. Hostages delay full scale, but the pilot’s viability is immediate—Gantz’s “restoration” vision could anchor this Zionism of partnership.

Why It Merits Consideration: Building a Potent State

Israel’s strength transcends fortifications—it lies in a unified, thriving populace. Oasis 1 proposes vetted Gazans as investors—lottery winners with plots, invested in Israel’s survival—producing “Oasis Olive Oil” and driving $500 million to $1 billion in annual jobs, $130-165 billion in trade. Tension could decrease by 60-80% as participants align with Israel’s interests, fostering kibbutzim from the Negev to the Green Line, Judea and Samaria, and Golan—all Israel-led.

Without such unity, Israel faces collapse by 2045—civil war and severed global ties threaten our future, as my “unify or die” thesis warns. Oasis 1’s economic lift—potentially 10-20% GDP growth—averts this; investors strengthen, not splinter. El-Sisi’s 500,000 is a helpful echo of my 15-month campaign (March 4 emails, March 18 $25-45B), but Israel stands independent—Grok 3’s March 20 data affirms $1-2 billion savings, a 90-95% terror drop, all within our grasp.

Gantz’s “restoration” reflects a desire to heal, not just defend—National Unity could test this over Netanyahu’s war-focused approach. It’s an idea: a Zionist government offering plots builds a state too potent to falter—anthropology supports it: stakes unify.

Conclusion: A Path Israel Can Forge Alone

Oasis 1 presents a vision—lottery plots from the Zionist government for vetted Gazans, olive oil symbolizing peace, kibbutzim rising from the Negev to the Green Line, Judea and Samaria, Golan—all without needing el-Sisi’s 500,000. However, his March 21 offer is a welcome boost. My 15-month campaign influenced it, yet Israel’s strength lies within—Gantz’s “restoration” aligns with this 16-month pitch.

By 2045, Israel could stand potent—not fractured—because Gazans invest in our survival. This Zionism 2.0, self-reliant and participatory, merits consideration—our future could hinge on the stakes we plant ourselves.
