"We cannot and will not impose a solution. Only you can make the decisions necessary to reach an agreement and secure a peaceful future for the Israeli and Palestinian people." - Madam Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Icheoku says well apportioned summation; and it is now left for both parties to truly desire to make a success out of this latest effort at a peace treaty. While Icheoku watched the leadership of both Israel and Palestine make their opening remarks, one thing particularly caught our attention - the reference by Bibi Netanyahu to the Bible and its account of Jews and Arabs shared heritage. According to Netanyahu, Isaac and Ishmail, Jewish and Arab sires respectively, came together when the moment called and joined hands to bury their father Abraham at Hebron. Netanyahu used the biblical reference to show that both Israel and Palestine can still rise up to the occasion in the manner of their forebears and together bring about a desired outcome. Icheoku thinks that Netanyahu sincerely spoke from the heart and is ready to make peace this time. We encourage and support his desire to deliver some tangible result this time and urge the Palestines not to be unduly obstinate or too rigid with some of their positions as would ordinarily thwart this effort, not this time. However, Israel must be prepared to play the lead role here as well as swallow some very painful and difficult pills necessary to get to the destination of peace; and must be ready to make those needed concessions even if unilaterally. They are the more rational, more invested and the people who stand to lose more should the Middle East unravel again; and so must be prepared to stoop down to accommodate whatever BS that may be thrown their way by all the Arab nations who are the puppet masters pulling the Palestine 'say no to peace' strings. Israel should Just secure the peace treaty and then like every nation on earth, can enforce their security later as no one will question their right to use any means necessary to protect their citizens and territory from any foreign aggression. As for Jerusalem, it was nice watching Netanyahu admit to the historical and biblical fact that both Jews and Arabs descended from one man, Abraham; therefore it defeats every logic then the Israel attempt to go against the grain and try to exclude their brother, Palestines, from the family property. The solution therefore is a meaningful division of Jerusalem between these two Isaac and Ishmail's descendants, who inherits the land and Jerusalem from Abraham through their respective fathers, Abraham's two sons - Isaac and Ishmail; case closed and the peace will thereafter endure forever! Icheoku wishes both parties goodluck as they resume their unending peace process; provided othet Arab nations will this time free Palestines from their shackles and permit it to honestly negotiate their peace terms with the Israelis.
