Am I dreaming, or can Israel be the catalyst that leads the M-E to a new era of prosperity? This idea came to me right in the middle of the recent war with Hezbollah. Its sometimes very hard to visualize given the animosity that exists between the Palestinians and Israel and also Hezbollah and Israel. Yet I believe a real peace deal is not too far away. The key of course is for Israel to be accepted as a state. The Arab world needs to understand that Israel is NOT going anywhere. It cannot be defeated militarily and the nuclear option is not on the table as any country that launches a first strike would itself be wiped out (Iran and Syria included). So recognise Israel and immediately the following things will happen: Palestine will become a state, probably with its capital in Jerusalem, Israel will release all Arab prisoners, Israel will start to invest in Palestine and Lebanon, Israels technology sector will start collaborating with all neigbouring states etc etc...see below
