The 2024 Peace Process - Two-State Solution - by Moses (a.k.a Stacey Marc Goldman)

 

      The democratic convention is currently being held in the U.S.  The democrats are toting the two-state solution for Israel and this is what I gather; 

   The Sinai Peninsula was created during the Camp David Treaty of 1977.  Signed by Menachim Begin, Anwar Sadaat, and Jimmy Carter; Israel, Egypt and the U.S signed the Treaty to ensure there would be no war again between Egypt and Israel.  The U.S.A should use some clout in this affair as the Chammas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad have reached some sensitive ports (say in Yemen among other possible threats in the future).  To ensure the escalation and tensions go down it would be wise of Netanyahu and Israeli leaders to support housing as many of the Palestinian population as they can in the Sinai, where Egypt can look in to as whether things are being run legit.  There should also be some Worldwide volunteer program to ensure goodwill in the Sinai towards Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs, Egyptians, and Palestinians, and to encourage multiculturalism within that region to support a Palestinians existence in that part of the World.  The Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs chosen for this role would be imperative to ensure our existence on this land mass of the Sinai. Likewise that of the Bedouin that are chosen to represent this designated area of the Sinai.  If the Israeli's play their cards right, Palestinians in Gaza get expelled to the Sinai and have to live under Hebrew AND Egyptian Law.

  The mess that was created by Chammas attacks on Simcha Torah will have to be met with Palestinians expelled from Israel.  The logic is very simple.  The bloodline of the Palestinian people is more relative to Egypt than to Israel.  With Egypt being in the equation of this peace process we will see more scrutiny into the mis-education that the Palestinians have been proactive in producing.  In other words they are adept at screening for warning signs that they've endured through in their past in mis-education.  This will help curb the mis-education that has been haunting us and bring some multiculturalism where at the very least people of different denominations can have some reference of peace and be used for future melting pots.  

  What I believe to be achievable are 500 Camps (Kibbutziim) housing 700 people at each Camp.  150 Isaeli Arabs, 150 Israeli Jews, 150 Palestinians.150 Egyptians, and 100 worldwide volunteers (U.N approved placements say 20% American, 20% Greek, 20% Italian, 20% Camaroon, 10% French, and 10% Bedouin).  This is 350,000 being placed in the Sinai to support a mission of multiculturalism for the Middle East.  Of course the security would be high in the beginning but in a short time we'll see peace as anyone who ever lived on a Kibbutz for 6 months (which I have) understands that conflict rarely occurs in a small environment like a Kibbutz.  In fact if you try and bully on a Kibbutz the penalty is high.  The members of each Camp have a roof over their head, 7 hours a day work (5 days a week), all the food is supplied, with an allowance of $10,000 U.S.D/Year payable on the last day of the yearly contract.  Likewise, an allowance for overtime that could lead to greater financial prosperity or converted into vacation time instead of the money.  For the Jewish population at these camps they could have Friday and Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday as their weekend.  For the Muslim population at these camps they could have Thursday and Friday, or Friday and Saturday as their weekend.  For the Christian population at these camps they could have Saturday and Sunday as their weekend.

  Israel restructured their courts a few years back (before the Simcha Torah attacks) to ensure the Israeli population was protected by ISRAELI LAW in the exact instance we saw with Chammas.  By allowing our neighbor Egypt into the equation we'll actually be in a higher learning mode in the Sinai (more accurate anyway).  The fact is that this could be used to formulate future havens similar to what the East has seen with Kashmir and Jaarta and perhaps find more common ground along the way for our future descendants to establish a reference point for peace.  This is the Two State solution that I bring forward to the viewer.

World Wars in Todays' Age - by Moses (a.k.a Stacey Marc Goldman)

       In 1915-1919 we saw World War 1, a fight that was in the realm of the Astro-Hungarian Empire.  Germany breached in that War when they assassinated Prince Ferdinand and the Astro-Hungarian Empire launched into World War.  In 1937-1945 Germany breached again against anything towards humanity and murdered and butchered roughly 30 Million people including six million Jews by way of Concentration Camps.  

  In the last two years we've seen two major conflicts that are gross by nature for anyone living in Canada.  Why the hell is Russia attacking its' neighbour Ukraine and butchering their people using military might.  Britain just gave 3.2 Billion Pounds ($5 Billion Pounds when including 2022) to the Ukraine so that they don't lose the battle.  In the case of this escalating further we saw terrorist factions Chammas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah attack the holy land of Israel.  This is surmounting to attacks made by Iran sponsored Yemen bombings as recent as yesterday-the present.  These are threats that the U.S are just starting to dig their teeth into and we'll have military ops in place for probably five years or more depending on where the terrorist factions strike next.  I'm just wondering why Barack Obama was so accepting of Iran when he was President signing a Nuclear energy deal worth Billions of U.S.D.  Keep in mind that Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczinek were not stupid when they wrote 'Games of State' and 'Op-Center'.

  This is symptomatic of World War in my eyes and I hope and pray people aren't being led by herd mentality when they gather their thoughts on the events in the news today (about what War we're really talking about).  It seems that Russia is always taking a pro-dominant approach to settling affairs in their region  Great Britain has seen this as far back to the days of Stalin.  They had 'A Clockwork Orange' to contend with when their populous was put to test.  The terrorist factions that are surfacing is starting to escalate and this concerns me.  When there is someone hunting a group of ethnicities is  where I draw the line.  To target an ethnicity to what we're seeing with Chammas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and now Iran sponsored military exercises performed by Yemen seem to indicate that the efforts of the I.D.F will now need American involvement to settle some scores and reduce the threat of a full out World War.  In the American media is where we should be looking for ideas to understand the patterns of the last 100 years.  In 1994 the movie 'Surviving The Game' came out.  The movie was about hunting humans for sport.  By the way, just asking, how many mass shootings and games like hunting people for sport have we ween in America in the past 10 years?  When all is said and done when do the Politicians come to terms with their frailties and let their military handle military operations?
