Israel is fine with a two-state solution. Israel is also fine with Gaza and the West-Bank being part of Egypt and Jordan. Israel has been fine with those two solutions when they already came up. I think we can stop worrying about “Zionist extremists” who don’t exist.

I have seen east-Jerusalem. I don’t think Israel wants it. It’s the most holy site of Judaism that Arabs demand and that Israel wants to keep, not the entire city. Let’s divide Jerusalem, Israelis won’t mind. The Jewish parts and the Old City will be part of Israel and the Arab parts in the east can be a part of Invaderland/Palestine. The only problem is that the Arabs in Jerusalem might not want that. Whenever such an option comes up, thousands of them register for Israeli passports. Hm…

Most international proposals ignore the fact why Israel is fighting.The proposals don't even address how they would get all the Jews dead. In fact, the proposals seem to be built to allow them to survive. The world think that that is not a problem? Look at what the PLO and Hamas say about their wishes. They want a Jew-free Invaderland and they have said so often enough. Most peace plans don’t address that issue.

A two-state solution plan has already been implemented, before 1967. And it could have been implemented by treaty in 1968 when Israel offered to give Gaza and the West-Bank back in exchange for peace.

And what about the refugees? The Jewish refugees from Arab countries don’t want to go back, they have nothing to expect but death and torture. But the Arab refugees from Israel, despite all the things they say about Jews, don’t seem to be expecting such a fate and demand a “return” (to lands they have never lived on, given that it has been three generations).

If we accepted the Saudi plan (1967 borders and return of the “refugees”) we would be back in 1948, a situation which caused the Arabs to start the first war. I don’t see how that would be a good solution, unless the “solution” is about giving the Arabs another shot.

I guess the entire thing really depends on the Palestinian Arabs. Vote for a damn government whose priority is making the country viable and not to destroy Israel and it’s done. That’s all it takes.

Perhaps the PLO can do it now.

But do Palestinian Arabs even want this? Is a viable country of their own really important to women who teach their children that committing suicide while killing Jews is a good thing? Is a viable country of their own really important to sons who would rather kill themselves than not kill a Jew?

Here’s my take on a peace plan, and I realise most independent-minded Israelis will disagree with it, but I think it’s a good idea:

1. The King of Jordan is declared King of Israel and officially enters Jerusalem in that capacity.

2. Israel will remain an independent country with its own democratic government, the king will be a figurehead.

3. Israel will annex the West-Bank and Jordan and Israel will form a citizenship-federation in which all Jews born in either country will be Israeli citizens and all Arabs born in either country will be Arab citizens. (We can find solutions for the other nationalities. For example Druzim can become Israelis too. Bedouins can have their own citizenship system or whatever they wish.)

4. Both Jews and Arabs will be subjects of the descendant of the Sharif of Mecca, i.e. the King of Jordan.

5. The king will govern Transjordan directly and Cisjordan (Israel) only through the selected Israeli government. Israel won’t have a president any more, only a “Lieutenant Governour” elected by the Israeli people who represents the country towards the joint monarchy and, representing the king in right of Jerusalem, towards the international community.

6. During his inauguration ceremony the king will refer extensively to the Quran and celebrate the fact that Allah has helped his people return to their land. He will point out how modern Babylonians tried to prevent it and how another Muslim like Cyrus 2500 years wgo was Allah’s tool to make Allah’s will prevail, even when it was done in the most complicated, roundabout way.

7. Israel can keep the border fence until the attacks stop. Israel will keep all the power she currently has and give it up only voluntarily at her own time.

8. Gaza can be part of this union. Israeli and Transjordanian forces can keep the peace as needed.

9. The Golan Heights remain part of Israel. Syria had no part in the war, and deserves no reward for stopping the attacks once Syria knew she was too weak. Syria will be offered a chance to surrender to the united monarchy.

10. As will Lebanon, which if she decides to join, will become an independent duchy lead by three dukes (Shiite, Sunni, Druze) and an archduke (Christian) under the nominal authority of the king.

11. We will then wait for the Arab and Muslim world to condemn Israel for making the descendant of Muhammed king of Jerusalem.

12. At that point the king will make it clear that his ultimate goal is control over ALL THREE holy cities of Islam. We will then work from that starting point. (The point is not to invade “Saudi” Arabia, but to make it absolutely clear that Jerusalem is as negotiable as Mecca, given that it is the other place of worship.)

13. The new United Monarchy, with control over the advanced military technology of Israel's and the Israeli army as well as excellent ties to Europe, the US, and Russia and other important Arab monarchies (Morocco), will become the unquestioned regional superpower. Iran will not be able to compete with the new Arab Empire and the Gulf will become the energy source for the economic powerhouse at the Jordan river.
