Should the world split the land of Canaan in half?

Question

The land of Canaan should be split in half. The northern half would be Palestine and the southern half Israel.

Both side would be disarmed, by force if necessary.

In the middle occupying Jerusalem would be the new U.N. HQ with a corridor that divides these lands from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.

Stationed there should be 300,000 man multi-national Rapid Reaction Force capable of delivering a serious smack down to ANYONE in the region that acts out of line.

This new corridor could be a new World Heritage Site, accessible to everyone in the world.

The Bible and the Torah have no relevance here.

Foreign policy should not be made using simple religious fiction.

Beside I think I heard the King Solomon character made a similar decision.

Palestinians need a conterminous homeland plain and simple!

Answer 1

This is the best idea for promoting peace in the Middle East that I have heard yet!

Answer 2

That's creating a false boundary which will only make it worse. Israel's boundaries are defined in the Torah and the Bible. If you want to make a false boundary to appease the Palestinians, that's fine but it will not solve the problem.

Having the UN, a secular-humanist organization, headquartered in the heart of the most religious area in the world is crazy. There will be more problems caused by that than moving it to someplace like Baghdad (Babylon), which is more secular.

Next, you will not EVER get countries to send 300,000 soldiers to support a UN mission. They have never fielded anything of that magnitude and lack the ability to control such a force.

Answer 3

First, I disagree that Israel should be divided. That would just mean there were two nations fighting instead of a large insurgency fighting Israel.
Disarm Israel? Do you think the US would stand for that?
Where would the 300,000 man Rapid Reaction Force come from? The UN? Very unlikely. The US wouldn't contribute, and without US backing, most security actions in the UN are moot. Look at the peacekeeping forces in Iraq and Iran before the first Gulf War - fat lot of good that did.

Answer 4

It's already been split in half. Actually 1/3 and 2/3.

1/3 went to Israel, 2/3 became Jordan.

So, you want to split the remaining 1/3 even further?

Answer 5

I have no idea what Canaan is, never having caught on to organized religion, but some kind of accomodation and painful compromise needs to happen.

Answer 6

I agree

Answer 7

Are you living on a different Planet!!!!
