Since the area is important for all three religions... christians, muslims, and jews... I propose that the entire fucking area be sectioned off and now no one is allowed to live there except God himself.. since it's such Holy Land, then let God live there.. everybody else can go visit but they're not allowed to fucking stay there anymore.. if people can't agree, then no one gets it, and it's God's land now. How's that for a damn solution.

With the Settler Colonialism that has turned the west bank into hundreds of isolated enclaves and the hundreds of thousands of settlers that can't realistically be relocated, I'd say no.

I like the Saif al-Islam Gaddafi Isratin proposal:

The Gaddafi Isratin proposal intended to permanently resolve the Israeliā€“Palestinian conflict through a secular, federalist, republican one-state solution, which was first articulated by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, at the Chatham House in London and later adopted by Muammar Gaddafi himself.

Its main points are:

  • Creation of a binational Jewish-Palestinian state called the "Federal Republic of the Holy Land";

  • Partition of the state into five administrative regions, with Jerusalem as a city-state;

  • Return of all Palestinian refugees;

  • Supervision by the United Nations of free and fair elections on the first and second occasions;

  • Removal of weapons of mass destruction from the state;

  • Recognition of the state by the Arab League.

Similar to the Binational State Solution advocated by the Palestinian leadership and some others prior to the Nakba.

Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion

The sole purpose of this community is to discuss Israeli and Palestinian issues. It is not the place for hurling insults, rehashing grudges, or making up history. Any conversation that veers into the "if only your people had" realm will be deleted or locked right away. I started this community in the potentially fruitless hope that we may have a civil conversation about this issue.

Rules:

  1. References to historical events must include a reputable source. The definition of reputable is up to the mods. Keep that in mind.
  2. Articles from reputable sources only.
  3. No name-calling. That's what DMs are for. /s
  4. Keep it in English. If I don't understand the word, it gets removed. Obvious exceptions would be the use of proper names and references. For example, "wadi" when used to refer to a place is acceptable.
  5. Discussions that are heading into the probability of becoming a flame war will be locked.
  6. Repeat offenders will be forced to find another community.
  7. Anti-Zionism is ok. Anti-Semitism is not.
  8. Whataboutism is for toddlers. Try to grow up.
  9. Posting articles about current events is encouraged. Posting the same story from 20 different sources is not.
  10. Posting an article purely for the purpose of saying "Look what monsters they are" is discouraged unless it can generate an honest discussion. This is probably the most difficult rule to follow.
  11. No calling anyone a terrorist.
  12. No YouTube links. Some of us can read.
