Why on earth Israel does not accept the new Arab initiative and exchange land for peace?

Question

The initiative will provide Israel with security, recognition and normal relations, and on top of all that a huge market for their superior products in the area with 100% of consumers who do not produce anything except talking

Let us not forget that this land has been occupied by force, and there are so many UN Security Counsil resolutions that Israel has refused to pull back from those occupied teritories. And why Israel has the right to refuse such resolution and the others do not have such right? And who says that Israel neighbors threatening the existence of the Jewish state? on the contrary if look into history, we will find that most of the Arab Leaders in the 20's and 30 helped the Jewish poeple to settle in Palestine.

Answer 1

Without conflict, they can't take more land.

Most Israelis don't support a perpetual war agenda, but apparently the ones in the driver's seat do, just like here in the US.

The other thing is they've developed a blind spot toward Palestinian humanity just as Americans did with Indians. We saw them as the equivalent of gophers wrecking our yard instead of equal human beings with human rights and a legitimate historical claim to the land.

Answer 2

Do you realize how small Israel is?
The north of Israel is higher than Haifa, a perfect spot to drop bombs on the city. That was WON in a war to defeat the enemy that wanted to "push all the Jews into the sea".
The Gaza strip was WON in a war for the same reason.
Israel has always wanted peace with the Arabs that live in Israel. The Arabs are the ones who want seperation and to kill the Jews.
Israels mistake was giving any land to the Palastinians at all.
Also, FYI. There was NEVER a country called Palastine. The region, before WW11 was primarily run by the British and there were a few villages and nomadic tribes. There was NOT a Palastine....only a region.
Israel wants peace, the Palastinians are the aggressors.
PERIOD.
Does that solve the problem....NO, but neither would giving away more land, that would be suicide. Egypt should give the Sinai to the Palastinians, or Jordan should give land to them.

Answer 3

Apparently you have not received a good answer hopefully mine will be better.


The main problem with the Arab initiative or Saudi peace plan is not that territory will have to be given up, but that the plan demands for over 4 million Palestinian refugees from Arab nations will go back to Israel instead of staying in their host nations or the new Palestinian state.

The problem with that is that it will not only destabilize the Israeli economy, but will also quickly result in a Muslim majority and thus the end to the Jewish state.

So from an Israeli perspective to accept the Arab initiative as it currently is would be the equivalent of surrendering and giving up their sovereignty.


I hope this helps you understand the situation a bit better.

Answer 4

lack of help among the Israeli inhabitants who've oftentimes gotten burned every time Israel has with-drawn from Gaza or the West economic employer. it really is extremely real once you comprehend that Hamas, Hizballah & Tehran have persevered with a coverage of ambiguity concerning the Arab Peace Initiative (and they heavily gained't honor it). So what's ultimately the point in giving a terrorist team Gaza & the West economic employer even as they plan on continuing to kill you? regardless of if Arab us of a's "understand" Israel, the straightforward reality is it does not something to provide up Hamas, Hizballah & Tehran from continuing there cutting-edge unfavourable direction and also you do not definitely imagine the Arab's will provide up them (Hamas, Tehran) do you? Israel also has some issue's on the topic of Jerusalem & the opportunity of three hundred,000 - a million,000,000 Arab's returning into Israel itself (not merely the West economic employer / Gaza). they think about it a probability to a Jewish State as a wide inflow might want to / might want to change the social dynamics of their State that it's not a "Jewish" State anymore (it really is fairly the kicker for Israel, because given time Jews will finally go back to minority status..even in Israel itself. Arab's out breed them heavily).

Answer 5

Well how many peace plans has Israel refused so far? Why?Because the Arabs ask for withdraw from the territories occupied in 1967,that means giving back the land they illegaly took from the Palestinians...and it seems that returning land is out of the question for Israel...Sure they say that they will eventually agree to a Palestinian state,but they keep enlarging and building settelments in West Bank...And yet they want us to believe that in the near future they are going to leave those settelments and give the land back to the Palestinians...Israel refuses the peace plan because they don't want to end the occupation on Palestinians land,although that occupation it's illegal...

Answer 6

It will do no good. Israel has already given up so much of it's tiny land and where is the peace? The whole point is that the Arab nations don't want the Jews among them. Too bad!

Answer 7

The Arab Initiative is an Israeli initiative both Israeli leaders and the Arab leaders are American subjects. Israeli leaders are making a living out of conflict and so do the Arab leaders. Its really up to the Americans to make peace in the Middle East.

Answer 8

I think you were born yesterday, Israel has tried that policy a few times. The results increase aggression from the Arabs who unfortunately sees acquiescence and negotiations as a form of weakness. Personally my solution is total victory over your enemy if you study history peace only come from total victory tit for tat only prolongs the agony.

Answer 9

Think about it this way for a minute, Let's say Canada starts fighting us for Alaska. Many people die while we Americans are fighting Canada for OUR land and OUR fellow American citizens. Then Canada says, OK US we'll stop bombing you if you give us Alaska. Would we do it? I think not. Besides, if it worked there, what would we do if Canada decided they also wanted Washington, or Maine, or any of our other states that border Canada?

Answer 10

Because Israelis know that it will not bring peace. The promise of peace is a lie. It will be throwing land away to gain nothing.
