This is my proposal to end the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it, but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.
The hell is that bullshit. Palestine should be it's own state
Under my proposal that will be up to Egypt. I think Egypt will prefer to make Palestine a state within Egypt.
It is up to palestinians not egypt
No, under my proposal Egypt would own the territory occupied by Palestinians.
How about abolishing the Apartheid instead
How do you propose doing that?
The world, including Europe and the US, needs to boycott, sanction, and isolate israel like the world did with South Africa in the 1970s and 1980s. They will soon realize that their ethnosupremacist state has made them a pariah that has cost them legitimacy and money.
Stop giving them weapons and money and it collapses
The US will never stop supporting Israel. Believing otherwise is a fantasy.
And israel will never accept your proposal. They want to exterminate palestinians from the land
Israel will accept my proposal because it will get a huge chunk of land in the Sinai. More land equates to a larger population and consequently, a more powerful country.
Did you forget that Israel want a greater israel that include Egypt?
That's what right wing Israelis might want, but under my proposal Israel will only get the Gaza Strip and a large chunk of land in the Sinai. Israel would have to give to Egypt the West Bank and land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. Right wing Israelis want land that Yahweh supposedly gave them, but not all Israelis are very religious.
Uh.. the West Bank doesn’t border Egypt. You’d be cresting an Egyptian enclave separated from the rest of Egypt by Israeli territory.
In the proposal, Israel would have to allow Egypt access by land to the West Bank. Alternately, Egypt could be given a land corridor through Israel. This land would count as part of the land given Egypt in exchange for Israel being given the Gaza Strip.
