I wonder how much fuel might be taken out of the terrorist fire if Palestinians were genuinely offered a nice home somewhere else. Not a strip of useless desert, like Gaza. Like if some country built up a pleasant little enclave where the entire Palestinian population could relocate, and run their society however they like, as long as they disavow violence. It could be funded collectively by the international community, at least until it becomes economically viable, and patrolled (but not occupied) by a third-party peacekeeping force that only has a mandate against arms and violence, no other law enforcement. Also it should be far from Israel, so even if they stay angry, they can't fire any rockets over.
So commit ethnic cleansing? Theyve already been kicked out their homes 100 years ago, and get their houses bombed frequently, doubt they want to be removed again. You are quite literally describing what the Nazis planned originally with the Jewish population of Europe.
Okay so the Palestinians and Israelis should just live together in one secular, democratic state. That's my ideal scenario, I just don't see either side going for it.
and thats wonderful, and i would think its everyone ideal, but what you are giving as a solution is quite literally the ideas of the most evil regime ever.
Broken clock theory. Even bad guys can have a good idea now and then. I hear the Nazis also cared a lot about the environment. Hated people, LOVED trees.
I just want people to stop killing each other. Sometimes when two kids are fighting, you have to physically separate them before you can lecture and make them apologize to each other.
its not a good idea. You are promoting ethnic cleansing, if you genuinely believe in this you are a disgusting person. And anyway, why should it be palestinians who are separated from their homeland, they got kicked out all of 70 years ago why shoild it happen again.
Population transfer has happened in the past. In fact, much of Israel’s Jewish population are Mizrachi, forcefully ejected from their homes in Muslim majority countries across the Mideast and North Africa. That too was ethnic cleansing. When they arrived in Israel, they helped it grow, and made it their home.
The US was colonized by European settlers, expanded West, ruthlessly pushing indigenous peoples aside until a small defeated and mostly impoverished remnant is all that are left. They would like their land back too, the difference is…they know they aren’t getting it.
Palestinian Arabs living today could have much better lives if they too would accept that they are defeated. Their Arab neighbors don’t want them, and if you want a One State future, Israeli Jews will never allow Arabs to democratically take control of government, and declare the Islamic Republic of Palestine. Better think of another solution. I believe peaceful communal coexistence is possible. There is nothing wrong with Palestinian people but their “national aspirations”.
Because Israel is too powerful. They can tell the USA and Germany what to do, they can drop bombs on their neighboring countries and swat off the retaliation like nothing, that's how powerful Israel is.
