The idea of Palestinian statehood has been dead for years. The questions what is the long term solution?
The solution is the Balfour Declaration, where England partitioned the Palestine Mandate into two parts, one Jewish, on Arab. Jordan is the Arab one. Time to move all the Philistini to Jordan or the Sinai.
BINGO! We have a winner!
There has never been an Arab State called Palestine.
Why would anyone want to form one now?
I don't think they want to go. And I don't think that Jordan or Egypt wants them.
Jordan did have them at one time, and then had to evict them with tanks.
The ‘Palestinians’ are not good neighbors.
Next rocket launched is a formal declaration of war.
Bounce the rubble, then bounce it again!
The Palestinian issue has changed because the threat of Iran getting a nuke has become more likely due to the negotiations in Lausanne.
This has galvanized the formation of the new Arab Coalition, now seeing the fight in Yemen as an existential one. The issues of the Arab Sunni states and Israel now align. It is realized by the Arabs that Israel’s help will be needed, thus the Palestinians are relegated to the back of the bus.
‘zackly.
Gaza used to be part of Egypt. Israel can come to some sort of arrangement with Egypt where they will pay Egypt to relocate all of Gaza into Egypt.
The preview of a Pali state has been Gaza, ever since the Israelis evac’d it in 2005.
Look at Gaza then picture it ten times its present size. Not a pretty sight.
Who needs five million splodydopes on their border?
Well then.
Not my circus. Not my monkeys.
Why would Egypt want to do that? And when you say "they will pay" don't you mean the U.S. will pay?
“The questions what is the long term solution? “
Turn Sinai into Palestine. It gives both Israel and Egypt defendable borders. The UN can summon their smartest to create a “green” country where fossil fuels are non existent.
Desalination can be built along the red sea to bring in fresh water which can be used for agriculture and the greening of the new Palestine. Because of this, CO2 will be extracted from the atmosphere, reducing global warming.
And the best part of it all, move the UN their.
Israel captured the circus and the monkeys that came with it almost 50 years ago. It is their problem, and a vexing one at that.
Palestinians represent the worst of what is wrong with the world. The haters of peace even hate these haters. It’s a hate problem.
Agree 100%.
I fully support “Palestinian” statehood.
The Arabs on the West Bank should be forcibly repatriated to their home state of Jordan and the Arabs on in the Gaza Strip should be forcibly repatriated to their home state of Egypt. Statehood achieved.
Never have seen this word before.
