Uhmmm, how does your plan (which seems to be Israel promoting development in Palestine, a region who's borders are unclear at the moment) overcome the 60 years of hatred and mistrust on both sides? Your plan still ends up with the Palestinians believing they have the right to live in the land held by Israel, and denied that right by Israel, and thus probably results in more Palestinian violence against Israel. That violence will be generally supported by all the neighboring Arab governments that agree the Palestinian people have the right to live in Israeli land. You don't overcome the root cause of the objection to the state of Israel among the non-Jews in the region - the partitioning of land where many people lived for a long time into a land which became a homeland for a minority group in the region.
If Israel and the Palestinians worked to make Palestine a great place to live, then as time healed some of the anger of the last 60 years, the border would become blurred. As the border becomes blurred, the palestinians who want to live in Israel will move there, But as long as Palestine is a hovel who would want to live there? You haven't addressed where these palestinians will live, or what they will do, of course neither have they. How long have these people been out of israel? If they were removed 5 years ago that is one thing, if they have never lived in Israel that is another. For instance if their Grandfather lived in Israel, and they want his house back and there are 50 descendants, how will that work. 5 Families in one house might be an option. 50 families isn't. Who is supposed to support these people. It should not fall on the jews to feed them. How will that work? |
