I especially like the part where anyone who disagrees with the plan goes to prison. Well, it's the spirit of the plan that I meant to lay out, not the details. We wouldn't really throw those who object to the plan but take no action against it into prison. The plan obviously would have numerous opponents in Israel. It would be implemented against some probably violent opposition. The spirit of throwing the plan's opponents in prison is just to be ready for resistance by people opposed to its implementation. Sort of like saying those opposed to a Democratic government should go to prison. That's a good way to start off establishing a democracy. Oh, wait. No, that's a good way to start a fascist state. Giving preferential treatment to wealthy Palestinians over "useless sacks" would also help. The idea of granting Pasreal citizenship to educated, productive Palestinians prior to less educated, less productive Pals is to motivate Palestinians to be the former, and discourage them from being the latter. Basically the carrot approach. Some of the ideas you propose are OK, but the devil is in the details. Of course, but do agree with the spirit of it? I seldom read anything even remotely close to it when reading various proposals to "solve" the Israel-Pal situation.
