■SUBTOPIC: Why wasn’t Olmert’s offer even considered?
These are different carrots from the same packet of seeds and grown in the patch.
So ANY deal Israel would make with the Palestinians would be a waste of time. Why bother?
What has Netanyahu actually done to indicate he's interested in "peace"? Without talking about the Palestinian
What has Netanyahu done or said that indicates an interest in peace?
What are Netanyahu’s plans for the future of the Palestinians?
(COMMENT)
From the perspective of the Prime Minister of Israel → looking into the future:
✪ What are the risks that peace brings now to Israel?
✪ What advantages to does the status quo bring Israel?
If, for example, that the "Olmert Peace Package"
(from the 'Olmert ⇔ Abbas' Negotiations - or some variation) were considered
(supported by more than half the Israeli population), and then the very same issues were to reemerge again, what advantage would Israel have in the protection of its citizenry, territorial integrity, political independence, and sovereignty? (RHETORICAL) Answer: Absolutely none. In fact, in terms of the previous behaviors of the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP), the current risk assessment says that Israel will only encourage a growth in dangers by the HoAP - but that the Israeli Disengagement Plan was accepted with the expectation that Israel proper would realize a marked improvement in the security of citizenry of Israel, and result in a marked decrease in the necessity for Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). With the reduction of the IDF, the withdrawal of the Occupation Forces there was every expectation on the part of the Israelis and the Quartet of a noticeable reduction in confrontations between Israelis and Arab Palestinians. In 2005, the unilateral disengagement was completed. The exact opposite of the expectation occurred. In fact, every aspect angle from the Israeli perspective showed a very accelerated increase in threats to Israel's citizenry, territorial integrity, political independence, and sovereignty.
Evidence to date that the HoAP, like any blackmailer (for peace) will keep coming back to the trough for more. And, the increase in confrontations has a meaningful and steady rise in hostile events since that time.
THUS: There is no reasonable expectation that the offer and acceptance of the "Olmert Peace Package" would result in any meaningful reduction in violent confrontations.
The
"status quo" might actually bring some advantage to the Israelis. As we can see from the staged riotous advances on the Gaza - Border perimeter, Great March of Return, it is extremely hard to identify anyone that would fit the age group:
Persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine
during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who
lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the
1948 conflict.
If you were born in Israel on the last day of eligibility, then you would have to be ≈ 70 years old. The age group of 65 years and over: 2.54% (male 23,729/female 21,936) (
• 2017 est. CIA Fact Book Gaza Strip •); with a life expectancy of fewer than 76 years old. We are talking about a group of less than 50 thousand people. Have you seen any pictures of the Great March of Return where the preponderance of the marchers are 70 years old or older? (RHETORICAL) So, if Israel can maintain the status quo for another five - to - ten years, how many Arab Palestinians will be alive and fit that profile? (RHETORICAL) near zero.
Most Respectfully,
R
