A strategy for peace with the Palestinians

This study suggests a new strategy for attaining a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians. This approach highlights the Palestinians' refusal to accept Israel as a Jewish state and reluctance to drop their armed and ideological opposition to Israel's existence. The author proposes a plan that the global community can adopt in order to help bring peace between the two parties, involving active opposition to Palestinian denial of Israel's connection to the land; support for Israel's legitimacy; resettling Palestinian refugees outside of Israel; a modification of aid programs to reduce Palestinian use of foreign money to teach hate and support terror; and encouragement of free speech and discussion in Palestinian society. The author argues that peace is unlikely to ensue unless these matters are dealt with now.
