I am sure the vast majority of Freepers will say “NO WAY”, but the only way this will work is if we (USA, EU, GCC and Asian countries) all agree to put that $30 billion that Clinton promised them in 1999 back on the table.

That’s not the only thing required to make it work. The Palestinians have to get their own house in order. They have to organize behind and support 1 government, and that government has to have monopoly use of force and be willing and able to stop and punish any rogue elements that try to launch cross-border attacks.

To resettle the people living in refugee camps across the region, they will need 100,000s of new housing developments and infrastructure. Some of them will have to agree to resettle in Jordan and/or the Sinai, with some of the money going to those countries.

I don’t know all the details, but a well thought out plan will have to be made public and sold worldwide. It will require support from all corners. Of course it has to be demilitarized. What on earth are they going to need tanks, missiles, rockets for? They need only small arms for internal security reasons. Neither Israel nor Jordan will be a threat to them - in fact those are the only two countries that are vital to their survival, especially Israel. Poor countries can’t trade their way to prosperity with other poor countries. A Palestinian state needs to be best friends with Israel - it’s obvious. And given all the needs (infrastructure, health care, education, training, housing etc) they shouldn’t be spending money on tanks and planes and rockets.

This concept can be sold, but it has to be sold. And if the world agrees with the logic, then the Palestinians will be pressured to accept it. It may even have the effect of galvanizing the population into supporting 1 ruling authority instead of 2 or 3 or 4 like they are now.

you’re on a good track, imho, but all of these savages need to be repatriated, moved, relocated much further away and in isolation from (not bordering on) any other peoples or countries.

What you say could work, if normal, rational people were in charge. There are cultural, religious, ethnic, linguistic and historical bonds between Jews and Arabs going back to Biblical times. And I know from my own experience that friendships between Jews and Arabs are not only possible, but in fact exist to some extent. But normal, rational people are not in charge of the PA, Hizbollah or Hamas, and they have an Iranian sugar daddy that makes it worth their while to be insane. So peace will not happen in our time.

You want to sell.

They want to rent or perhaps lease
