Goodwill - The Palestine Solution

The worst enemy of peace between Israel and the Palestinians is the United States of America. This is because the US proclaims itself as an arbiter between the two parties, but it clearly demonstrates that is biased towards Israel. How many more Palestinian homes will the Israeli bulldoze before America speaks out against it? Or, is this bulldozing considered “in defense of Israel”? America did not even speak out when the brave Rachel Corrie, the late Jewish California activist,  was bulldozed to death trying to protest the demolition of the home of a Palestinian family. But why bother demolish the homes when they can just evict them and turn the homes over to Jewish settlers,

Israel has more military power than all her Arab neighbors combined. Besides, Israel is supported by America with by far the most military power in the world. Every bomb used to destroy Gaza was an American supplied bomb, part of the $3 .8 billion in arms Israel receives free from the US. It is common knowledge that Israel is so powerful that itcould, and probably might, wipe out the entire Palestinian population.

Despite Hamas, Palestinians are pretty helpless to defend themselves. Similarly, black people in the US were pretty helpless to end slavery.  It was whites who had the power to do that. So, white people of goodwill, abolitionists, endured all sorts of hostility from their fellow kith and kin  to fight for abolition. Likewise it will take Jews of goodwill to end this abuse and cruel victimization of Palestinians. Already, we have many Jewish people and organisations, like J-Street and Jewish Voice For Peace, as the abolitionists did, are fighting for equal rights and justice for Palestinians. Too often, they also must endure all sorts of abuse from their kith and kin.

People are better than their government. The Goodwill Revolution is the honorable Palestinian solution to this problem. The Goodwill Revolution mobilizes goodness. Space will not permit me to say more about the Goodwill Revolution here other than it espouses goodwill to all regardless. It is based on what I consider the inherent goodness of man. Out of this inherent goodness, I believe every Jew

  • Wants equal rights and justice, not for himself only, but for all, including the Palestinians.
  • Does not want the legitimate homes of hardworking Palestinians bulldozed to rubble
  • Does not want Palestinians evicted from their legitimate homes so that he can move into it.

Instead of hostility, let every Jewish resident of Israel seek to establish friendly relations with at least one Palestinian. It would be even better if some Israeli families would offer to take care of a poor Palestinian orphan. Every Jew wants to be proud of Israel  and do not want it to be founded on the genocide of Palestinians. Let us use goodwill to achieve goodwill. This is the way to a peaceful resolution instead of bombs, bulldozing  and bitterness.
