The most horrific attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust was provided in the past two weeks by people we have been trying to give a country to. Israel wants life for both Jews and Arabs and the terrorists do not want life for either Jews nor Arabs. The status quo of strategically running in circles must end or the conflict is at risk of repeating.
Let's take a step back and look at the philosophy behind this. When gratitude is replaced with desire for bloodshed, one must be willing to mitigate one's sense of generosity with the distribution of strategic footholds into the land, for the moment. The Knesset has had a long term problem coming to terms with this simple concept. Yes, they have received bad advice from friends, but they freely took said advice, and now this horror has come upon us.
With the impending regime change in Gaza, former PM Yair Lapid just suggested allowing the Palestinian Authority (Fatah) to replace Hamas as Israel's governor of choice in Gaza.
But “Abbas’s ruling Fatah faction has praised Hamas’s murder of 1,400 Israelis and called on the Palestinian public to attack the Jewish state.” You can’t just recruit new terrorists to fill the void.

Rather, here in my blog on Israel and International Law, Jerusalem Defender, I have long presented a safer method, a one state solution.
Key Concepts in the “Everyone Wins Peace Plan”
* Filtration of terrorists out from the pool of naturalization applicants.
* No relocating of masses of innocent people. No good person has to give up their homes; neither Jews nor Arabs.
* Qualifying Palestinian Arabs slowly but surely become complete Israelis without overwhelming the Israeli economy, infrastructure, nor electoral balance.
* The multiethnic IDF retains complete control.
Let's fix this in a way so that it will never happen again.
May a sane solution for lasting peace become popular. May it soon by so, by the grace of God.
