Dear Mr King Magnus L,A( Norwegian friend to the cause of Middle East peace and justice)

I agree alot with this:
9) The new common Palestine government should, even before the negotiations with regard to 5, 6 and 7 (the only subjects negotiable) starts, declare the forthcoming Palestinian state to become a non-military state, like Costa Rica. This is absolutely vital, and would mean a future sole focus on economy, human rights and internal law and order within Palestine for the benefit of the palestinian people.

I also feel (like many others) In the interest of Palestinians -The ' Factions' MUST Join and declaring a' NON MILITARY STATE'(I never thought how important this point was until now-Germany and Japan also prospered???)
is critical for LASTING Peace and Prosperity.

Thanks for your comments-made me think -more??

The PLO and its leadership from inception till now are nothing but a big lie, a fraud and these groups of incompetent leadership are the one who are responsible for the demise of the Palestinian cause. Oslo killed any and all chances of liberation and ending the Occupation, thanks to Arafat who killed and undermined the First Intifada and saved the day for Israel. In return he, the PLO and Fatah got a lucrative business and financial contact that ensure the survival of a bankrupt, and looted PLO. Hamas made a tragic and fatal mistake when it decided to run for election under Oslo as if it did not know and recognize what Oslo is all about. When Hamas decided to run for office, it was running to manage the Israeli Occupation instead of Fatah. Any election won by either Hamas or Fatah perpetuate the ongoing Israeli Occupation. This is what Israel wants, it wants a Palestinian partner to do its dirty work for it, give it legitimacy for its settlements and occupation and provide it with security for its soldiers and armed settlers and this is exactly what Arafat, Qurai and now Abbas been doing. Of course in return for the chance to loot the money raised from donors to cover the expense of the Jewish Occupation, an expense which should be paid by Israel not donor countries. The PLO should be disbanded and its leadership and key executives including members of the PNC should be put on trial. Never seen such a disgusting and failed leadership in my life or even in history. Every thing about the Palestinian leadership is disgusting, self serving bunch.

There are several obstacles to justice, land and peace, but they can be overcome and now is a golden opportunity if palestinians unite for the true interests of the palestinian people. These should be the elements, claims and offers of a comprehensive position presented to the world the sooner the better:
1) One common palestinian government needs to be established.
2) The overall palestinian policy must be framed within international law and human rights, the same framework that the Goldstone report is based upon and which must be coherently further pursued. If serious, the large majority of world will understand and welcome the move.
3) The Palestinian State can only be based on the pre-1967 borders: Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, all lands internally connected though roads/tunnels.
4) All Palestinian living in Israel must be free to choose whether to live in Israel or Palestine when the new state is established.
5) All Jewish settlers at the West Bank and in East Jerusalem must move to Israel, if not a special agreement concerning the return of an equal number Palestinian refugees to Israel and the continuied residence of as many Jewish settlers at the West bank is not reached. Settlers staying should have rights and obligations just like all others living within Palestine.
6) Refugees not able to return to Israel must be compensated from a special fund established, financed 50% by Israel and 50% by the UN/other states.
7) Israel and Palestine must mutually recognise each other as part of the negotiated agreement.
8) The Security Council must guarantee the territorial sovereignty of the new Palestine and of Israel.
9) The new common Palestine government should, even before the negotiations with regard to 5, 6 and 7 (the only subjects negotiable) starts, declare the forthcoming Palestinian state to become a non-military state, like Costa Rica. This is absolutely vital, and would mean a future sole focus on economy, human rights and internal law and order within Palestine for the benefit of the palestinian people.
