  1. As someone not in the military or politics---I am an artist---what I see as the solution to the terrible situation that is boiling over in the middle east is for the UN to put every dossier on the back-burner and get people like General (Ret.) Petraeus to weigh in on this proposal. First, in my opinion, Hamas only exists because of the suffering of a great people called the Palestinians. They are wonderful people who have been on the wrong side of history for too long. Take away the suffering and Hamas would have no reason to exist. What is my solution? Gaza is a blood-soaked piece of territory of 145 square kilometers that was described by former American President Jimmy Carter as an open prison. Let's be real: that is no place for kids to grow up. Gaza could be transformed into a wildlife sanctuary cum Galapagos of the middle east that could see Israelis working alongside the other nations to help save the dwindling numbers of species of plant, animal and aquatic life and save many creatures and plants and fish and the like. Every one of us will be proud of our generation to have found a way out of these interminable and senseless conflicts that ruin people’s lives. Borders need to be redrawn in the region and a territory of sufficient size set up to house the entire Palestinian population that would be free from outside intervention, settlers, etc. The incredible task of relocating 2.3 million people to a new homeland is logistic challenge that only people like General Petraeus could achieve. You see, I am in it for the kids. For a child to have lived through 5 wars in 15 years is inadmissible in our times. We could be the generation that solves these neighboring-country wars by creating something and that something could be nature reserves. Every religious group respects nature.

  2.  @rampage241  GGGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. Of course, you are right, but the movers and shakers of the region might see a solution in some part of what I imagined as a peace plan.
