…proposal for peace: the US stops funding the genocide in Gaza.
Proposal for peace: Israel complies with the International Court of Justice directives that “has stated that Israel must take all necessary and effective measures to ensure, without delay, and in full cooperation with the United Nations, “the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance” to Palestinians throughout the Gaza Strip.”
Proposal for peace: instead of giving every single Israeli and Palestinian $5000, invest that money in rebuilding the Gazan healthcare system that has been obliterated over the last six months. Because an extra $5000 a year isn’t going to help much when there aren’t any hospitals to even get basic care.
You can’t even start thinking about the “peace process” when hundreds of thousands of people on one side of that process will die in the next few months from famine. A process that treats both sides as “equals” when one side completely controls what goes into and comes out of the other, when one side restricts how much food goes in and out, controls the airspace, controls the borders.
This wouldn’t give anyone an incentive to make peace. The Palestinians wouldn’t “restrain Hamas.” Israel would not “restrain their settlers and other extremists.” It wouldn’t have any chance of success.
Do you know how hard it is for Palestinians to even access money now?
Somebody mentioned the other day that there were literally only a handful of ATM’s working in Gaza. There is no money, no jobs, no work, no houses, no shelter, no food. The doctors in Gaza are almost all working for free right now.
But both Israelis and Palestinians would get paid identical amounts. How does that make any sense, and how would that promote peace?
Are you imagining that everything goes back to normal?
What does the “end of the war” look like to you?
Because it looks like Palestinians either driven by Gaza, or kept in a large concentration camp in Rafah.
Are you imagining anything different?
