I am interested in what Pro-Palestinians would consider the minimum acceptable conditions for a cessation of fighting the Jews in Palestine/Israel.
as much as one might want to, getting rid of israel is simply no longer an option. the best we can hope for is nixing the settlements and respecting sovereignty.
A secular Palestine run by Palestinians is the only acceptable option. Jews, Christians and others that wish to remain would be permitted to do so, if they aren't on The List.
I voted "Allow Jews to stay under Palestinian rule." and "Allow Jews to control current territory with right of return." This may appear contradictory at first, but there was no poll option for a single-state solution. In essence, I believe that: 1. All Palestinians should be given a right of return, an apology, and compensation for the hardships that they have suffered. 2. All races, religions and ethnicities should be recognized as 'Israeli' under the law, and be awarded equal rights and protection under the law. 3. Israel and occupied territories should merge to form a single state which is administrated by a joint government of Palestinians and Jews, where each ethnicity is proportionally represented. In otherwords, a system similiar to that used in Lebanon. If my 'peace offer' were adopted, I believe that 'terrorists' (ie. resistance forces which harass Israelis) would bleed away within months. All that Israel needs to do is offer a fair compromise, and dispose of its elitist nonsense, such as a 'Jewish only' state.
I didnt see the "Let them each have their own state, build a 100'ft wall between them, and let everyone go their seperate ways"
these questions should be asked of Hamas and other rejectionists, since it is only their opinion that matters. if 70% of the "Palestinian" population wants peace NOW for a generous deal such as Barak's, their opinion doesn't really matter since the other 30% (and their backers in Iran and Syria) will shoot them or they'll shoot at Israel and provoke another "intifada", rendering any agreement by a selected democratic gov't void
Poll flawed as multiple option selection shows people contradicting themselves re selection: Annihilation of Jews and give region to Palestinians -iLluSiON-, crazy151drinker, deicide128 Deport all Jews and give entire region to Palestinians vslayer Allow Jews to stay under Palestinian rule. Genji, mountainhare, vslayer Give Jews control of much less territory than currently held. antifreeze, Microzoft, Neildo, Zakariya04 Give Jews control of less territory with right of return. James R, Neildo, samcdkey Give Jews control of less territory without right of return James R, samcdkey Allow Jews to control current territory with right of return. mountainhare, spacemansteve Allow Jews to control current territory without right of return. aaa
Where are the contradictions? Perhaps those people felt "either/or" could happen and be acceptable terms, not all happen at once? - N
