This is my first post here! Any way, I'm very frustrated by the lack of progress being made in the peace process. As an American Jew and someone who has been to Israel on numerous visits, I am very familiar with the situation. Despite the actions of current politicians, I believe peace is possible. Not only is it possible, but the gap in differences is much narrower than we are led to believe. Additionally, some of it is the bickering of pure semantics, definition of words, lack of empathy of the other side, broken promises, impossible expectations, arbitrary starting points, etc.
I seriously believe that peace-minded people of both sides serious about peace can work out a detailed "People's Peace Treaty" and show the World that peace is possible, and that the politicians have failed us thus far in getting it done!
I've thought of answers to all the known sticking points. The solutions are not that complicated. I believe they should be agreeable to both sides. I'm also sure some of you have thought up some solutions of your own, as well. All these solutions could be discussed, debated on, improved, substituted, thrown out, added to, etc. over forums like these until an actual document is edited together and meshed out that could be proposed.
The first step is to get feedback - especially Palestinian feedback - on my ideas. Please, if you're Palestinian, introduce yourself. I'll start discussion and explain some ideas I have after that...
