So we need to have workable solutions to real problems. (If the Arabs and Jews all became disciples of Jesus, as some are doing, it would simplify.)īut I also think Christians need to be pragmatic -as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. There you go, Israel-Palestine problem solved! It involves a lot of compromise from all sides, but then so does mayhem.Īs a follower of Jesus, I’m convinced politics is very limited in what it can achieve. Palestinian State = (Gaza Strip + West Bank), capital: Gaza City. The 200,000+ Palestinians in East Jerusalem must choose to stay in a Jewish state, or move to Palestine. The 300,000+ Israeli settlers in West Bank must choose to stay in a Palestinian state, or move to Israel.
It all should be enforced by a teethy force of UN peacekeepers.
Palestinian refugees in neighbouring countries should be freely allowed to settle in either halves of Palestine. The Palestinian Constitution must recognise Israel’s right to exist, and vice versa. The idea of Jerusalem as a separate entity, an international city (a city-state like Vatican City?) is interesting, but unworkable permanently. The capital of Israel should be Jerusalem. The capital of Palestine should be Gaza City. I think in return, Jerusalem should be undivided and wholly controlled by Israel. They will allow a viable Palestine and a secure Israel.Ī Palestinian State comprising Gaza Strip and West Bank should be founded. I agree this is the best political solution.Ĭontrary to what Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says, the 1967 borders are not indefensible. President Obama & Hillary Clinton want a 2-state solution for Israel-Palestine, based on 1967 borders.
