My rough outline for the end times:

Israel will stand- and the most of the godless nations and people that oppose her will be annihilated by God- There will be no peace between israel and muslims except for an uneasy brief 3/12 year cease fire on all sides which will be broken by the godless when they move against what they think is a now defenseless Israel

Wonderful thoughtful effort but it will never happen. For one, no rational Israeli leader, despite what they say to placate the US, the EU and others, will never again agree to an adjacent, independent, militarized Palestinian state. They better than anyone have learned from the Gaza experience. Also no Palestinian would survive putting his signature on an agreement that concedes the loss of “Palestinian land and rights”. Simply put there is no real basis for permanent peace between Israel and Palestine. Peace will only come when one or the other ceases to be a definable political entity. It is a harsh reality.

Muslims only are allowed to keep agreements with non Muslims until they have the upper hand. It’s explicitly in the Quran. There is no point in negotiations.

My solution:

Get 50 of the biggest CAT bulldozers that are made. D-20??

Set the blade to 1 inch below grade level and PUSH EVERYTHING
in Gaza into the Mediterranean.

Plant crops and patrol with armed drones.

Here’s my proposal:

1. Israel shall be sovereign in all areas in which it currently exercises jurisdiction, including all of the Temple Mount area in Jerusalem. This area is lesser in area than that which was stolen from the Jewish people by the Romans, but they have to settle for what they’ve got right now.

2. Any person who complies with Israeli law and who wants to live there, may do so. That means complying with Israeli law before being admitted to live there and after obtaining such permission. Failure to do so once admitted is grounds for deportation.

3. Anyone who doesn’t like #1 and #2 can take it up with the IDF and Israel’s not-so-secret, invincible weapon - the Mark 1 Lord of Hosts. Either that, or they can go piss up a rope.

“no rational Israeli leader, despite what they say to placate the US, the EU and others, will never again agree to an adjacent, independent, militarized Palestinian state”

Any Palestinian with a brain ought to know the Israeli military can’t be beat by now. Unfortunately, too many Palestinians seem to like thugs with guns.

My proposal would not allow the State of Arab Palestine to have military forces or weapons suitable only for military use.

My proposal allows a Commission to cut the cash flow. Arabs like guns, but they probably love money.

“no Palestinian would survive putting his signature on an agreement that concedes the loss of ‘Palestinian land and rights’”

My proposal limits the losses to less than existing amounts.

My proposal allows for near maximal practical recovery along with lots of new shekels.

My proposal requires ratification by popular referendum by both Palestinians and Israelis. It goes nowhere unless both ordinary Palestinians and Israelis say it does.

“Peace will only come when one or the other ceases to be a definable political entity.”

The Arab World is remarkably skilled at creating new groups of thugs.

“’The State of Arab Palestine and its people accept that the State of Israel has the right to exist...’

“That’s funny right there.”

It’s not funny, it’s an essential part of any Palestinian-Israeli peace deal worthy of the name.

Refusal to accept it means that the Palestinian Arabs aren’t ready for peace.

“Refusal to accept it means that the Palestinian Arabs aren’t ready for peace.”

There’s no such thing as a palestinian. It’s a fiction. There are Jordanian Arabs in the West Bank, there are Syrian Arabs in the Golan and there are Egyptian Arabs in Gaza.

There is not nor has there ever been a “palestinian”. It’s a made up word which means nothing.

Never happen. Hating Israel is as institutionalized and DNA ingrained as abortion is to the leftist.

The problem is not a lack of ingenuity in peace plans but that the Palestinians are determined to destroy Israel. In other words, there can be no peace not for lack of the right plan but because the Palestinians do not want peace until Israel is destroyed.

“According to Walid Khalidi, in Ottoman times ‘the Palestinians considered themselves to be descended not only from Arab conquerors of the seventh century but also from indigenous peoples who had lived in the country since time immemorial.’”

People in a geographical crossroads tend to be quite a mixed lot.

“The problem is not a lack of ingenuity in peace plans but that the Palestinians are determined to destroy Israel. In other words, there can be no peace not for lack of the right plan but because the Palestinians do not want peace until Israel is destroyed.”

That last bit isn’t going to happen and we all know it - and so does any Palestinian with reasoning ability.

Israel will be around long after every Palestinian now living is dead.

One goal of my plan is to reduce the conflicts and hence the hatreds.

Please remember the crazy people tend to make the most noise and fill the airwaves.

The craziness and hatred is inherent in Islam and its culture. The Palestinians do not want to reduce the conflicts with Israel — they want to increase them.
