I think all of the Arab, Persian, Israeli (plus USA Russia etc) need to sign an agreement that says...We all agree that both Israel
and Palestine have a right to exist. Draw some borders etc, problem solved.
In fact I wonder why it has not been fixed already...I am suspicious of all sides. Including the USA
Read my previous post to you and the one after it. It hasn't been fixed because certain palestinians, israelis, and outsiders don't want it fixed the sensible way you suggest. Some for the reason I mentioned: getting it fixed the way you suggest is seen by them as a defeat. Others don't want it fixed because it would interfere with their agendas.
The US policy in the area has been hypnotized by the oil, vitiated by Washington's (especially Foggy Bottom's) gnat like attention span, poor scholarship, careerism, WASP recruiting policies, Monica, narrow legalism, naivte masquerading as realpolitik, wishful thinking, insularity, confusion about unilateralism and multilateralism, some sort of breakdown in the CIA, and a bunch of other stuff I can't think of right now. And it's as bad, if not worse, in Europe.
[Edit] US policy has improved a bit the last few months but it could improve a lot more. |
