What do you think would solve the palestinean and Israeli conflict?

Answer 1

The the Pals were to lay down their weapons, there would be peace.

If the Israelis were to law down their weapons, there would be no more Jews.

The answer is easy. The Pals need to end the violence. That would be the one thing that could spur Israel into talks. Until then, it's going to be tit-for-tat forever.

Answer 2

Clear everyone out of Jerusalem. Take some nice pictures of it for posterity. Nuke it. Nuke it again and again. Then, send in earthmovers to dig it down to a depth of 50 feet. Then, start mixing concrete with all of the world's nuclear waste and pour it over the site of Jerusalem to a depth of about 30 feet, or so. Then bury it under soil loaded with landmines, PCBs, heavy metals, and Yoko Ono albums.

Once nobody can have Jerusalem, peace should come about pretty easily.

Answer 3

When the Palestinians get over themselves and decide they want to work for a stable nation within the auspices of the world community. They have to get over the cowardly bombings and killings and grow up to be something other than the stepchildren of the Arab community which doesn’t want them in its backyard. They need to work with Israel for a solution to the work issues and the governments of the world need to stop giving them money – no matter how many pictures they show on TV.

Answer 4

Make sure the palestinians get no money from US or EU- it only gets used to pay for more violence.

After that- time. and a bigger wall.

What has been done so far seems to work. Sure it is not nice, but it works. So be it. So long as the palestinians (and the arabs in general) do not change, nothing more can be done.

Answer 9

Every wise head on both sides, and all objective observers, point to the Two State Solution, which, essentially, is required under international law. The UN resolution of 1947, partitioning the League of Nations Palestine Mandate, provides for creation of a Jewish State and an Arab State within the Mandate boundaries. Since all the nations of the Mideast between Egypt and Iran are legally in existence either by League of Nations or UN authority, Israel and the Palestine Arab State are as legal as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, no less, no more.

The present problem arose because the Jewish State was declared when authorized, in 1947, but the Arab State was not. The nations of the Arab League all declared war on Israel, for its very existence, and the four front-line states - Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, invaded the Mandate and occupied some of the ground. For the next twenty years, the Arab League failed to either defeat Israel or set up the Arab State in the territory they occupied. Some of the territory was annexed, but its inhabitants not granted citizenship in or passports from the annexing Arab state. In 1967, Israel defeated the allied Arab belligerents (again), this time occupying the Palestinian Arab territories out to the Mandate boundaries. Israel has been unable or unwilling to simply declare the Arab State and withdraw, but withdraw they must, eventually, taking any settlements on Arab territory with them.

In 1947, some large numbers of Arabs from villages inside the Jewish State boundaries fled the conflict, into the Arab territories, where they found themselves stuck in 1948 at the cease fire. While the UN provided some basic services to these people, establishing camps for them to live in, delivering food, supplying water, etc., these refugees, then their children, and now their grandchildren have been held hostage to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Israel granted citizenship to the Arabs who did not flee, but will not even recognize any property rights or right to compensation on the part of those who did. To settle this issue, Israel must determine who actually fled residence from what is legally Israel, what property those people owned before they fled, and who the heirs are if the original refugees have since died. All refugees, and heirs of refugees, who lost property in Israel must be fairly compensated for their losses. However, repatriation is not a viable option - they will have to stay in the occupied territories and become citizens of Arab Palestine when it is formally created.

There is some concern that the populations in the camps include some numbers who had not resided in Israel, who came for the free UN food, and who have no right to compensation since they suffered no involuntary wartime losses. Reliable censuses, to the extent that they exist, indicate that 240,000 refugees, more or less, were dispossessed by the 1947-48 war. There are now close to 2 million people in the camps, in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. The details of settlement must include determining who is entitled to compensation and who is not.

Present refusal to pass tax revenues to the Palestine Authority because Hamas won its last election are neither legal nor helpful. The tax money belongs to the Authority, no matter who is elected to run it. The previous bunch, Arafat and his cronies, did a lousy job of delivering services to the people. and a great job of filling up Swiss bank accounts in their own names. Hamas won the election because they actually help people, not because they also commit terrorist bombings against Israel. Once there are no Zionist settlements inside the 1948 Arab occupied territories, there will be great difficulty in recruiting suicide bombers.

Three elements, then - mutual recognition of statehood, compensation for provably dispossessed Arabs, removal of Zionist settlements from inside the Palestinian occupation boundaries.

There is an issue over Jerusalem, taken by King David from the Jebusites, taken by the Romans from the Judeans, taken from the Byzantines by the Arabs, taken back by the Crusaders, taken back again by Salah-a-Din the Kurd, taken by the British from the Ottomans, divided by the 1947-8 war, reunited by the 1967 war. Scene of much Jewish, most Christian, and some Muslim history, full of religious sites and ruins, claimed by all. It is the historic capitol of the Jewish State, and is declared capitol by Israel. The site of the Jewish Temple bears two major mosques, the Mosque of Omar and the Dome of the Rock. This site is holy to all three Abrahamic faiths. No one of them can take sovereignty over it completely away from the other two. I propose that the holy sites be administered by an international (Jew and Arab) commission, that part of the city be the Jewish capitol, another part be the Arab capitol, the rest to be jointly administered by the commission.

The "religious" conflict aspect is a red herring. The Qur'an provides that the Jews get their country back when they recognize Jesus and Mohammed as Prophets of God, which the State of Israel does by providing tax monies through its Department of Religious Affairs to mosques and churches. The Torah provides that Jews must allow the descendants of Esau and Ishmael (i.e., Arabs) and Egyptians to live amongst them in peace, the former because they are relatives, the latter because they were once the Jews' owners. Anything else is just crap, some fanatic cleric pulling selected quotes from somewhere to justify hatred or a land grab.

There you have it.

Answer 10

If we sent more soldiers to those countries or if other countries helped out we could get rid of the bad people and help out the good.
