Solve the Arab-Israeli conflict, serious answers only
Let's do a fun, if perhaps hopeless mental exercise.

You're a powerful diplomat, either Arab (including Palestinian), Israeli, or American, and are tasked with solving not just the ongoing Gaza war, but the entire conflict once and for all. How do you go about it?

Bear in mind, you have to be realistic. You can't nuke the whole region and call it a day, and you can't go back in time either.

So, what's your peace plan?

Send "palestinians" back to their true country Jordania. Illegal migrants cause a lot of troubles indeed.

good question!

usual reaction from human mankind: grounding a new secret society like illuminati 2.0? (thats why its war bec. the cards are mixed new)

unrealistic reaction: snitching everything to the alien police in deep space and hope for incoming help lol? (my fav. answer tbh)

new and revolutionary reaction: . . . ?

I would end all aid to Israel, including the iron dome, tell them that all in their neighborhood have to sort it all out.
Not possible.

Europe has been at war with itself for hundreds of years(and likely will fight again).

Give Palestine back to the philistines.

That's realistic. I think that's where the US is headed, in the long run.

But the issue here is that you would be ceding any remaining leverage to Israel. If they are not constrained by the US, they no longer need to stick to any pretense of rules-based order, human rights or secular democratic law.

Israel no longer needs the US to thrive, and its neighbors have lost practically all interest in the Palestinian cause.

The Philistines no longer exist. They had already mixed and diluted themselves with the local Canaanites just a few centuries after their arrival.

And who are the Canaanites' descendants? Both the Palestinians and the Jews.

They only exist because we let them. And they should exist, but they have to play nice with their neighbors.

If not, they get the crap blown out of them, being the Egyptians, Iranians, Turks, Syrians, and everyone else fed up with their nonsense know we're not supporting them. That will bring the peace.
I say... lets immigrate 2m French 2m Germans, 2m Spanish, 1m Poles, 1m Swedes, 500k Danes, 250k Norwegians, to the area and then let them demand special treatment.

You know like some kinda reverse migration

Yep, the middle-east need way more diversity, indeed. We tried in Afghanistan, but they're very racist here.

I think that made some sense 50 years ago, though Israel was never wholly dependent on the US.

But now, all these Arab countries are either more interested in buying Israeli tech than facing it on the battlefield, or are way too weak to fight another war, much less win it. It'll take a huge realignement for Arab states to be a genuine guardrail to Israel again. The US leaving will not be enough, that I guarantee.

And if that happens, we're not necessarily happy campers, because we'll have several nuclear-armed states (up to 5) with irresponsible governments testing each other every year.

Best response so far. OP, he's the chosen one, put him as the answer of the thread.

It's a funny answer. But I have a short temper, and Nazis like yourself shorten it further.

When you've revisited your views on my race, we can talk. Till then, keep to yourself.
