This is a good topic, what Israel can do, but do you really think that it is something the Palestinians can expect?I think that we all just take things a little far, my point is simple, what can encourage Palestinians to act for the sake of Palestinians only instead of acting on behalf of senseless ego, radical Islam, racial intolerance, and Historic wrongdoing?
Things often get taken a little too far... Yes, your point is simple...
How about encouraging the Palestinians to act for the sake of Palestinians by removing the Israeli settlements for a start? How about desist from considering all of Jerusalem the capital of Israel? Israel and ONLY Israel considers Jerusalem the 'united capital of Israel'!
Taking the line of 'Israeli innocence' and placing the blame at the door of the Palestinians is not accurate and certainly not the encouragement you speak of.
Do you really think Israel would ever leave Jerusalem? (Completely hand Jerusalem to the Palestinians? Like Temple Mount?)
Yes, it is a very good topic....
I'm not expecting Israel to "leave" Jerusalem... Why would ANYONE ever expect that?
I would never ask for, nor support, the Palestinians taking full 'control' of Jerusalem, in the same way that I do not think that Israel should have full 'control' of Jerusalem...
Jerusalem is a 'special' place for MANY more people than Jews and Muslims... And should be respected as a 'special' place, NOT an 'exclusive' place for one religion or another! In fact, many 'non religious', as in, non practicing religious people, believe that Jerusalem is a 'special' place... Which is why I believe Jerusalem would be better served as an 'international city of peace', controlled by an 'international organisation'... And, before people start jumping up and down, no, I don't necessarily believe that the UN would be the 'right' organisation to carry out that task!
Jerusalem is a 'divided city', unless you believe Israel's declaration of a 'united capital', which of course, it is not!
The mindless division of the middle east by the British and French, the double talk of the British, the lies told to both Arab and Jew alike has created a 'hornets nest' scenario that is near impossible to overcome without some serious rethinking by both Palestine and Israel AND without the intervention of the international community...
Israel cannot continue its belligerence, Palestine and Gaza cannot continue it's terrorism... Yet both sides think that this is a path to peace... It isn't!
The polarised opinions of both sides proves that neither side can find a peaceful solution alone...
The ONLY way to find peace is for neither side to 'lose face', but I fear that it is too late...
Humanity, have you ever been to Jerusalem?
Yes I have...
What's your point?
Because Jerusalem consists of East, West, and the tiny Old City. West Jerusalem houses the Knesset, Israel Museum, President's House, and will remain under Israel. The Old City is too small and too important to Jews to be divided. But there are many Arab parts of East Jerusalem that can be the capital of Palestine, so to speak.
