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.
“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.
