More reasons for a united Palestine

Bringing Israel, Gaza and the West Bank into a one-nation with citizenship and equal rights for all of its inhabitants, regardless of ethnicity or religion, would have positive global consequences. The main one would be the creation of an inclusive community in tune with the times we live in; look, we’re all crowded on a small planet that has little room for sectarianism, narrow ideas and theocracies. In spite of all its travails, America’s “mixing pot” sets a great example for what could be a more united, tolerant and vibrant Greater Palestine, where every one of its inhabitant should more concerned about the continued good health of the planet than his neighbor’s oppression. This one-state solution would allow dismantling the Israeli nuclear force (this ought to be negotiated against denuclearizing both Pakistan and India), reducing the obscene amounts of money and resources spend by the Israeli Defense Forces (about 10% of GDP, or $20 billion) and save billions to the new country and the rest of the us that must regularly fork up money for fixing and rebuilding what has been recklessly destroyed by the belligerent parties. The six billion dollars that are provided yearly by the United States to Israel and Egypt to condone the current conflict could instead be invested bringing the Arab population up to par with its Jewish counterpart and facilitate its integration into a united society. Such an amalgamation would go a long way towards diffusing the so-called “Islamo-terrorism,” help normalize relations between Muslims and the West and save untold amounts of precious resources in the process. While this one-state solution is not favored by the “backwards” minds that thrive on destructive behavior and don’t pay for its consequences, a two-state solution is precisely what needs to be rejected in order to stop that schizophrenic cycle of violence and destruction… Better ideas anyone?
