Travel Info If the israelis pulled back to the UN areas in 47 and stop taking PAL land would help.? Travel Tips there is a big mess there that needs to be cleaned up, many dead, many hurt fellings, many betrayals, they need a serious intervention. Others if your Neighbour said i want six feet of your back garden would you give it to him?i think not.......... Probably not. The Palestinians initiated the fighting, trying to take land from the newly created Israel, shortly after it's creation in 1947. Most of the other Arabic countries in the area joined in on Palestine's side. If Israel were to pull back - which would be logistically very difficult due to the amount of Israelis who would have to be relocated - the chances are that Palestine would take this as a victory and a sign of weakness and go in for the kill, putting the peace process all the way back to square one. The only peaceful way to resolve this problem is for both sides to be able to bury the past and work out a way forward that both sets of people can live with - if reluctantly. The chances of this happening is pretty slim. Personally, I think they should just fence the whole area off, evacuating anybody who doesn't care enough to fight about it all first. They could then all be allowed to go at eachother until they were all dead. That would stop the whole stupid afair and then they wouldn't all go off bombing other countries who, frankly, have nothing to do with it. There was a time when the Israelis and Palestinian Arabs lived contentedly together, and that could happen again, but not with (a) the present Israeli leaders and (b) the present policy of Hamas. But pulling back to the 1947 boundaries is not an option for any Israeli leader, now or in the future. I assume you mean '67 and not '47, in that Israel was yet to exist in 1947. If you mean Israel should withdraw to the UN partition plan, then stop dreaming. That will never happen and should never happen, and no country in the world who's at least somewhat open to both sides opinions demands that (even those pro-Palestinian). The facts on the ground are no unilateral Israeli withdrawal has ever decreased the hostility of the "occupied". Actually, it has only caused it to increase. I will show you two different models: in 1982, after signing a peace deal with Egypt, Israel withdrew from the Sinai. This was done as part of a deal not unilaterally. Result: no armed conflict between Israel and Egypt in the 30 years since, compared to 4 armed conflicts in the 30 years before. Contrasting with that are two examples: the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and from south Lebananon. Israel withdrew unilaterally from Gaza. Result: Hamas is elected, terrorist attacks (most notably rockets) increases from the Gaza strip, one kidnapped soldier, and Hamas eventually seizes the Gaza strip by force. In 2000 Israel withdrew unilaterally from south Lebanon. Result: Hizbullah takes up positions on the border, terrorist attacks (most notable rockets) increases from south Lebanon, two soldiers kidnapped, and ultimately last years full blown conflict. As you can see, history teaches us that unless the withdrawal is co-ordinated and agreed upon by both sides, things only get worse and peace only gets farther away. Quite obviously then, unilateral withdrawal is not the answer. The answer then must be some peace deal compromise, to which I agree. However, those who would negotiate with Israel are in no situation to do so, as the leadership of the Palestinians is very much in flux right now. Until the Palestinians have a stable and popular leadership, no negotiations can begin. Um Israel did not exist as a state in 1947... What borders could it pull back to? Do you mean 1967? as for pulling back borders we see from Gaza what a "great" idea it is for Israel to pull back from a border with out a peace deal first. Actually its not '47 nor '67 but more accurately '49 when the war was ended. And obviously it is not an option. The root of the conflict is not over territory but rather a clash between two cultures and two religions. In contrast to the "moderate" palestinian claim (which is proclaimed only in English but never in arabic to their own people) they would not settle for the '49 borders but they still want all of Israel. If they would have settled for just this they have had 3 opportunities to get their own state at least 3 times before Israel was even founded. But they always chose war instead of compromising and that's why they have lost even more during all these years. Israel has no reason to believe any thing have changed during the last 60 years and she would make a grave mistake if she would give the pallys more territories. |
