...So ultimately kondor3 you are correct, it would be best if the arab muslims moved en masse on their own out of the west bank and gaza to jordan, syria, saudi arabia, iran or some other region that would be more suitable for them. They have no future in their current locations.
Agreed.
A one-state solution is impossible.
A two-state solution is impossible.
Leaving the removal of one side or the other as the only logical alternative.
Losers do not dictate terms.
And the Palestinians are the clear losers in this 66-year-long sporadic asymmetrical warfare.
At this very late juncture, it would probably be best, if the UN stepped-in, and committed to their relocation - with the logistics, funding and muscle, to make it happen.
It would require the UN to work with neighboring countries, to identify regions - not adjacent to Eretz Yisrael (
see the 1922 LoN partition-proposal map for details) - where they could begin new and far happier lives.
Israel itself could chip-in with a sizable percentage of the funding for this, as well as the US, the EU, and any Muslim country that wishes to help salvage those lost souls.
It represents thinking outside the box - and it requires the setting aside of much biased UN positioning over the past 66 years - but it's the only sane thing left to do.
Too much blood has been spilled - there is no going back - a permanent, negotiated peace is no longer possible.
We have a true Gordian Knot on our hands here - something which can no longer be untied.
Israel is the one-and-only side that possesses a sword capable of hacking through that Gordian Knot.
It seems that the time has come, for the world (the UN) to step-in and to relocate the Losers to safer environs, before the intransigent, foolhardy Palestinians bring a Final Disaster down upon their own heads, and force the Israelis to hack that Gordian Knot, after all.
The UN cannot destroy the State of Israel.
The UN can, however, relieve the long-standing plight of the Palestinians, by recognizing Reality, and re-locating the Palestinians, permanently.
If the UN is ever again to be seen as as a viable peacemaker in this part of the world, it is going to have to undertake this sad, long-overdue mission, in the not-too-distant future.
The sooner it gets underway, the more lives are saved - on the Israeli side, certainly, but, vastly and incomparably more so, on the Palestinian side.
