Five Ways to Create Peace in the Middle East

This guide to achieving peace between Arabs and Jews, between Islam and Judaism and between the Jewish and Palestinian peoples will increase empathy and understanding, remove the propaganda and rhetoric, which is a barrier to ensuring both the Palestinian and Israeli people are protected and safeguarded, whilst guarding against a catastrophic escalation of the initial conflict, which will be certain to result in millions of lives lost. Each plan suggested within these pages is the product not of emotion, not of being moved by emotive imagery or suffering from either side, but of a desire to end all bloodshed, to restore good order and to get all people in the region back to work, back to school, back to a peaceful and harmonious home life; back to normalcy. Each plan for a certainty will work if implemented. Each of these plans will halt the rocket attacks, halt the kidnappings, halt the construction of new tunnels, halt Israeli backlashes and incursions into Palestine and halt the destabilising and devastating long-term harm caused by these two neighbors battling it out in heavily urbanized areas, which guarantees the continuation of civilian casualties. All sides must agree that protecting civilians must be our first priority when conceiving and implementing long-term fixes in the region. Change is needed, huge change, the kind of change found within these five plans. If the Saudi Proposal is chosen as a preference, if the Donbas 'no man's land' plan is chosen, if the 'Iranian Resettlement Plan' is chosen or if the United States of Israel plan is chosen, real fundamental change will be ushered in, which is what all peoples and states in the region require in order to break the deadlock and stalemates. In order to save all civilians from coming to further harm, kidnappings, slaughter or bombings, dramatic change is necessary in order to birth a fresh, optimistic and peaceful new start. It is hard not to sympathize with Palestinian civilians who are caught up in the regional clashes and oftentimes our feelings of compassion for the innocents of Palestine and the civilians found therein, who for the longest time have lived in limbo, an unenviable existence resplendent with fear, turn into anger and hatred for the powerful state of Israel. Yet, believe me when I tell you that the anger you may feel towards Israel today if, for instance, you live in the West, if you attend every pro-Palestine demonstration possible, will be completely gone, nullified, but a memory once one of these means to create eternal peace in the Middle East is enacted. Do not think cynically that the hatred will be there for good; do not believe the Middle East fated to eternally war and for you to eternally be forced to honourably take the side of the apparent underdog, as peace is certainly on the horizon. Before very long, you will find yourself in liberal nations such as Germany, France and Canada competing for middle-class jobs against very well-educated, optimistic, self-motivating and free Palestinians, with the Saudi Proposal achieving such a miraculous feat in the shortest space of time imaginable, well within a decade. Gone be the pessimism and cynicism; gone be the hate and immersion in foreign suffering, which creates little more than numbness and compassion fatigue and bitter angst and eventual anti-Semitism. There exists an opportunity in this hour to save Gaza, to save Palestinians, to save Israel, to start again, to create awesome rejuvenating peace. I know you desire peace because I desire peace, the average Israeli and average Palestinian desires peace, because we are all humans and the fight for peace, mutual respect and brotherhood is our shared collective fight. It unites us in common purpose. Let 2025 be the year of monumentally positive change in the Middle East, peaceful and glorious change.
