ONLY SOLUTION: GAZA UNDER EGYPT; PARTS OF WEST BANK LINKED TO JORDAN

Submitted by G. Marcus (United States), Feb 7, 2008 at 08:57

"Palestinians" will never be able to govern themselves, because they are Greater-Syrian or Egyptian Arabs locked-up in refugee camps and given pseudo-nat'l identity just to spearhead destruction of Israel. Far from a nation, they are in essence an "anti-nation" unable to unite behind any other cause.

Jordan, part of initial Palestine Mandate, was separated by the Brits in 1922 to create original Pal-Arab state and is today one of best-run
Arab states.

Peace treaty with Egypt provides Israel with demilitarized Sinai buffer. Lasting settlement can only be reached with Gaza placed under Egypt; while parts of W.Bank are linked to Jordan - possibly through a confederation - safeguarding security and settlements for Israel, demographics for Arabs, holy sites for both.

Egypt and Jordan face no long-term alternative, because they can't allow adjacent Muslim Bros (Hamas) or irredentist (Fatah) regimes, respectively.

Any further "Palestinism" on narrow sliver will only bring more war, bloodshed and misery - not hoped-for peace! As to any party - including the US State Dept - that is still pushing for a "Palestinian" two-state agenda, it is clear that they are aiming not at lasting peace, but at implementing none other than the "1974 PLO Phased Plan" for elimination of the Jewish State.
