You would also need someone on the Palestinian side that the Israelis would trust to keep their word and not attack. That trust just isn’t there and will be difficult to rebuild.
I’m not completely disagreeing with you. The illegal settlements need to go. I’d like to see any illegal settlements responded to by having a special group of Israeli police, working with Palestinian authorities and not just moving in on their own, arresting the settlers instead of the military moving in to protect them.
There’s also the outside influence to consider. Evangelical Christians love the settlers. They help them and any politicians who would protect them. They’d work against a politician who promised to arrest them.
There are a lot of factors in play and the solution won’t be an easy one.
My bad for my tone. I was tired and didn’t noticed how sassy I came off.
I don’t think my suggestion will ever happen, but I think it’s what needs to happen.
I don’t think Palestinians would trust IDF soldiers to be escorts to be honest, but I suppose white police/soldiers played a role in integration in the US.
As far as implementing solutions, I think the Palestinians should decide that for themselves. I don’t think the international community will allow that for MANY reasons, Christians being just one. And until we can stop the ethnic cleansing policy from its current implementation, there is no room to even try anything.
But yes, the evangelical Christian relationship with Israel is VERY different than the relationship of Israel to Jews. I understand the propaganda I see in the Jewish community, and I understand how it’s harder to see this issue clearly when you’re more likely to have family members, friends, and memories made in a region.
Christian fantasize about Israel being theirs or seeing themselves as the true Israel already, and that it’s a metaphor for them and not Jews.
that’s not even getting into how all the neighboring countries feel and how all their allies and enemies feel. It’s a lot.
You get someone who stops the illegal settlement expansion and gives the land back.
