The Israelis would never have put themselves in a situation to build such long and controversial barrier just to enjoy peace in their towns if they would accepted the twofold solution on the table. A tangible and sustainable solution can only be reached if the situation is dealt with sincerity and fairness.
The twofold solution on the table is the one proposed by many that says Israel and Palestine should be two independent states that coexist in peace. Obviously, there are some flaws related to this very proposal. We saw the isolated island-like map that Israel proposes as a Palestinian country. The map shows Palestinian to-be villages and towns that are inter dispersed in giant Israeli land. Some honesty is missing in the brains and minds that plotted this kind of map.
Solutions should include the removal of barriers to peace aiming for a final peaceful resolution and future co-existence based upon the root causes of conflict. This must involve recognition and respect for BOTH the Jewish state AND a future Palestinian state. Of course, geography is a big matter when coming up solutions to the Middle East and geographic disputes should resolved with consideration to the international law.

What is the two-fold solution? You can't assume your classmates know what this means. WHY was/is this particular solution the best?
ReplyDeleteIt could also be argued that all of the fighting could have been avoided if the Arabs had just accepted the partition boundaries in 1948.... Now there were very good reasons for NOT accepting that solution, what are the good reasons for not accepting the solution you are proposing?
