The 2024 Peace Process Continued - by Moses

       As I'd mentioned in the last article on this topic, I named 20% of the Sinai Peninsula (including Mount Sinai itself) to be used to film two remakes of 'The Ten Commandments'.  Spike Lee and Robert Redford would be the directors and the project in conjunction with the peace process being conducted in another 20% of the Sinai Peninsula and 60% of the Sinai Peninsula to be left to the security teams.

  The significance of having Hollywood stick their noses in Israel/Egypt/Palestinian negotiations is huge.  The reality is that most of the World has Americanized through the Film Industry of Hollywood in modern day times.  The character analysis for Spike Lee would be highly sought after.  Jamie Foxx as Joshua, Will Smith as Aaron, and Spike Lee himself as Moses.  For Robert Redford I could see Adam Sandler as Joshua, Jeff Goldblum as Aaron, and Andy Garcia as Moses.  This would help as a natural stimulant to educate the World in as short of a time possible and once the films are released we would see an awareness towards religious attitudes across North America.  This could further Peace Treaties in other parts of the World like Kashmir and Jaarta if the Sinai Peace Process is successful.  India, Pakistan, and the People of the Republic of China would have an idea of how to further multiculturalism in their Homelands.  This Global Peace Process is what we can hope for with the Sinai Peace Process in the for-front.

Expanding on the 2024 Peace Process - A Two-State Solution - by Moses

      

      What I believe to be achievable are 500 Camps (Kibbutziim) housing 1000 people at each Camp in roughly 20% of the Sinai Peninsula.  150 Isaeli Arabs, 150 Israeli Jews, 150 Palestinians.150 Egyptians, and 400 worldwide volunteers (U.N approved placements say 40 Americans, 40 Greeks, 40 Italians, 20 Camaroonians, 20 Ethiopians, 20 French, 20 Canadians, 20 Australians, 20 British, 20 Rustafarians, 20 Moroccans, 20 Buddhists, 10 Tao 10 Nigerians, 10 Mexicans, 10 Bolivians, 10 Brazilians, 10 Spanish, 10 Portuguese, 10 Nepalese, 10 Tibetan, and 10 Bedouins).  This is 500,000 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.  There would be no weapons on the camps as the security in the surrounding areas around the Kibbutziim (farms) would secure these safe havens.  The security would be provided by the State of Israel, Egypt and the U.S.A.  Therefore each Nation would have carnal knowledge of the developments of each farm (Kibbutz) and be able to report to the United Nations of their findings of what these camps are achieving.

  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 and Catholic population at these camps they could have Saturday and Sunday as their weekend, for the Buddhists and Tao Saturday and Sunday likewise.  These camps could be considered as future multi-cultural safe havens to be built in the Arab World.  Among a nearly 99.7% Muslim populated Nation like Qatar there could be multi-cultural safe havens built in the future to promote the idea of global multi-culturalism possibly leading us to the final peace process in Kashmir and Jarta between India, Pakistan, and the People Republic of China.  

  To sell this idea to the American people let the American Film Industry dedicate roughly another 20% of the Sinai (including Jeb Mousa - Mount Sinai and send in two crews to the Sinai Peninsula to film the 10 Commandments through eyes other than Cecil B. DeMille.  I would choose Spike Lee and Robert Redford to be the Directors in their own versions of the story of Moses.  This way, when the productions are ready to go into the theaters, the audiences can be more educated as to why these current issues can't be ignored (albeit in a similar fashion of watching The Ten Commandments every Passover).  I think Andy Garcia would be a good Moses as he has strong Semitic features.  

  It's hard to explain in simple terms but if the United Nations had enough support for these future multi-cultural safe havens this would bring a huge financial dividend for those Nations responsible for these changes.  If Canada was pro-active like we were during the Occupy Movement of 2011/12, the rural funding in Canada could skyrocket and we would see a multi-cultural element in populating a population.
