A PEACE SOLUTION

If one assumes that the Israelis are (or ever were) serious about a two-state solution in the Mideast, please dispense with that idea forever.

The two-state solution is dead.

There are roughly 600,000 Settlers in the contested areas. To move even a portion of the them would cost tens to hundreds of billions of dollars. It is not going to happen.

So it boils down to this:

Israel is not going to leave Judea and Samaria (what the world calls the West Bank).

Yet, there are roughly two million hostile Arabs in the contested area.

What should be done with these Palestinians.


Maybe the Palestinians could go
SOUTH AMERICAN WAY

A) Israel refuses to enfranchise the Palestinians.

B) Martial Law is not sustainable. One cannot expect a people to remain quiet under military rule, especially after decades.

C) The Muslim states refuse to absorb the Palestinians; they want the problem to fester and overwhelm Israel.

So what is to be done with the Palestinians?

No one wants them. Not the Israelis; not their fellow Muslims.

NOTHING IS WORKING.

LETS THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

I am going to suggest that South America might welcome them if they came in with enough cash.

I know it sounds crazy. But I will develop these ideas over a serious of posts.

PAY ATTENTION!

It should not be dismissed as crazy. Nothing else is working.
