There is no 'we' to work with, its only Israel - the stronger and winning side to determine their fate, the train for mutual solution passed a long time ago - Israel first is also the only agreed solution to satisfy Israel because taking third party/solution that won't fit Israel's needs would be disaster for Israel, and the region can easily collapse to radical Islam if not treated carefully which is why I also mentioned everything has to take time and there won't be any peace to dream on before ending the conflict, to think of overnight solution that would bring peace that's insanity, to give it time to make everything happen - when trust could be built in the meanwhile also by strengthening economic ties - that would be peace - when life would be peaceful, the key however is also in the hand of Palestinians but they never put it in the right keyhole - which is why I consider it irrelevant.No doubt both Israel and the Palestinians figured out its best to not involve any third party - something that was failed ever since the British Mandate.
It is something the Palestinian leadership recognized before but they simply incapable of leading, while Israel always been not only the main side of the conflict but also the good example of 'how to build a state' - the Palestinians have no enemies except themselves.
I would like to try and believe that Palestinians have no enemies except themselves. Unfortunately, the way the Israeli government is leaning further and further right I really cannot believe that.
Which means both solutions have to be acceptable for both sides but first of all to Israel - which is why the key is in the hand of Israel
The key to peace IS in the hands of Israel. It always has been. It's a shame successive governments have failed to work toward a solution.
1.Finding a place to establish a state for the Palestinians that will first of all answer Israel's security needs.
This is the 2nd 'Israel First' comment Daniyel. If peace is to be achieved there has to be less 'xxxx first' and more trying to find a mutually agreeable solution. Hence the need for a 3rd party... The place to establish a state has already been agreed. Israel needs to withdraw from the occupied territories as a sign of wanting peace.
2.Isolate the radical leadership - starting with Gaza - fully eradicate Hamas/PIJ and the rest of the militants - taking them out of the game.
I agree... Isolate the radical leadership. They are however, an elected body. Take them out of the game politically yes.
3.Create the state from the ground up - starting by creating a new government for the Palestinians, under Israel's supervision that will coordinate all issues with Israel - starting by building a strong economy based on constructing homes and public facilities - opening almost 700,000 jobs for the Palestinians and starting a Palestinian fully independent economy for the Palestinians - and providing the Palestinian government (this is one of the most important steps) some of Israel's technology for future economic development also possible with Israelis.
The state does need building from the ground up but it seems that you are simply suggesting that the Palestinian state will simply be a 'legally' annexed land of Israel. "Under Israel's supervision"? You know as well as I do that isn't acceptable and simply wouldn't work. Hence the need for a 3rd party.
4.Evaluate the situation and provide a date for fully independent rule for the Palestinians - when in the meanwhile they'll live under Israeli protection - and start by leading democratically the Palestinians core laws and basically live on their own - when the main issue would be economy and labors - not terrorist organization/radical Islam - but for once - something good for the Palestinians, when the Israeli supervision support the implementation of the laws.
Independant rule would have to be from day 1, not some future date to be specified by Israel!
5.Assist WB Palestinians to resettle in the Palestinian state.
Interesting... I'm unclear on what you are suggesting with this point and where that leaves East Jerusalem?
Those with Israeli ID in E.Jerusalem are Israelis - no point to argue about that, those without Israeli ID - not.
Now let me give you some examples of third party and what happened you probably know;
1.British Mandate.
2.Oslo Accords (1/2)
3.J.Kerry.
- No good came to both sides except harsh escalation on every ground.
It's becoming harder to pick out the 'positives' in your posts the further down the road we go with this....
Your OP sounded as though you wanted peace...
What is happening is a breakdown to "Israel First" and the belief that Israel is "Team Israel - Middle East Police"...
It's all unravelling Daniyel...
So, to put another, possible final, nail in the coffin....
Where, in your opinion, will be the State of Palestine? What of East Jerusalem and West Bank?
