What's your solution to the middle east crisis other than the old cliche' "nuke 'em from orbit", or the real cool one "Turn mecca into glass"........LOL!
Thanks for saving me the time to ask that myself.
Some folks on FR still see continious war as a fun game to be entertained with from their desk chairs. Anything that MAY ramp this thing down is worth exploring. And this doesnt put some absurd conditions on Israel to have borders that simply will not work.
If this idea works then great. If they dont accept it, then their loss.
Here’s the solution that works best. Provide the financial incentives and go on a 20-year plan to relocate all Muslims from Israel, including the West Bank and Gaza, elsewhere in the Middle East.
Had they done this back in 1948, when Israel became a nation, most of the conflict of the last 70 years would have been avoided.
20 million Europeans were relocated at the conclusion of WW2 in the interests of future peace. Time to do it again. 1 million Mexicans enter the USA every year illegally. Surely we can relocate 4 million Palestinians over a period of 10-20 years to other Muslim countries, if the relocation is accompanied by training and capital for moving and setting up in their new homes.
Israel is trying to make this happen, in a sense. There are 2.8 million Palestinians in the West Bank but there are now 800,000 Israelis living there too, in new settlements. I’d guess that the hope is that there will be population parity in 10-20 years; after which, Palestinians will eventually emigrate on their own once they see that the West Bank is now essentially Jewish, not Muslim.
See my post 111 in this thread, then read my others. There is a long ball solution that will work and the Israelis are already playing it I think. They just can’t be open about it.
