"a common history, an extraordinary
future"
X. The Possibility
of an Equitable and Enduring
Peace
between Palestine and Israel
The important question is:
What would the success of an equitable and enduring peace give to the region and
the world?
The following is a list of
possibilities for this region and for the world not as prescription, but
as possibility. The impact and extent can only be envisioned:
-
Freedom and security from both state
and militant terrorism
-
The emergence of respect and
honoring of the two sides toward the other’s ethnic, religious and national
values
-
The end of hostility toward Israel
by the Arab world
-
A blossoming of regional commerce
and cultural exchange promoting mutual prosperity
-
Israel as part of the Middle East
rather than its present state as a European intrusion into the Middle East
-
The healing of past wounds through a
Truth and Reconciliation Process
-
For the Palestinians, freedom to
engage in cultural, political and economic development
-
For the Israelis, freedom from the
moral and economic drain of the occupation and its consequences as well as
the release of the fear of annihilation
-
Inauguration of a shift
in relations between the Arab countries and the United States and Europe
