OK, lock up the troublemakers.

What about the rest, those Palestinians that are willing to accept peace?

Make them citizens of Israel?

Remember, about 21% of current Israeli citizens are Arabs.

Dead wrong.
There is no “lock up.”
That is not a viable option and at no point have I ever suggested that it was.
citizenship for any Palestinians at all must (because of their past behavior) be provisional and only come after a probationary period of peace.

Of course, they have been offered a three state solution in the past and given it up because killing Jews is more important to them.

I think God might approve, knowing that ALL his children won’t grow up wanting to kill each other, muslims, jews, christians, hindus, amish, whomever.

I don't know about that.


Genesis 16:12
He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers."


Genesis 17:20 NIV
And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.

Provisional citizenship and probation.....Hmmm, well that is some progress.

Can they vote while on probation? Join the Israeli Defense Force? Run for the Knesset? Could they work as Israeli police officers? Teachers? Government employees?

One fifth of current Israeli citizens are Arab Palestinians already.....Put them on probation too? After all, you said killing Jews is more important to “them”. Gonna need a big prison, huh?

Why wouldn’t enforcement of Israeli laws be a viable option?

“All three of them?”

No, the 1,794,900 Palestinian Arabs that are already citizens of Israel, living within its borders, mostly peacefully.

Those that break Israeli laws, face the consequences like any other citizen.

The 4.6 million Arab Palestinians living in the occupied territories share culture, religion and tribal loyalty with the 1.8 million Arab Israeli’s.

Yes there would be troublemakers in both groups, but giving the disenfranchised the right of citizenship would result in more peace than they have right now.

How about annexing the occupied territories and creating a reservation system like we have here in the US?

That way anyone can choose to be on or off the reservation.
