UN takeover of Jerusalem
by ~Automutt

UN takeover of Jerusalem

Due to the inability of both sides to achieve peace or normalisation
of behaviour, the middle east conflict begs for a new solution.
I propose a takeover by the UN of Jerusalem and her surrounds, and
the establishment of The Jerusalem Council, consisting of four
representatives from the Jewish people, four from the Palestinians
and four UN appointed Representatives, representing the international
community. This 12 seated Council will control Jerusalem and
administer
the city as the first truly International City. A city for all peoples
and all
nations.

Jerusalem belongs to all peoples and all nations and should not be
in the hands of any one race or one peoples, she is a gift to all
believers and should not be squabbled over like a toy, by two
peoples with the inability to achieve peace or normalisation of
behaviour. The middle east conflict is predicated on the belief
that Jerusalem belongs to one race or one peoples, this is false
and causes all the problems associated with our current situation.

The war on terror is also laden with this falsehood of one people
ownership of this city, this crux being the point of contention for
many involved in the clash of cultures known as the war on terror.
Much chaos and resentment flows fom this crux which could all
be removed by an United Nations takeover and establishment
of The Jerusalem Council. Giving Jerusalem the ability to be at
peace and the gifting of her for all peoples and nations and
predominately the focal point for all believers worldwide.

Jerusalem deserves this.

UN takeover of Jerusalem now...

This is erroneous. The Middle East conflict results from the fact that
the Arabs consider ALL of Israel to be "Arab land." If you read the
Hamas charter, which is readily available online, you will see that a
fundamental principle is that Israel has no right to exist. And
negotiation is a waste of time. This is not just talk. It is the
statement of the fundamental principles of Hamas, in the same way that
the U. S. constitution plays that role in the United States. Hamas is
supported by a large fraction not only of Palestinians, but other
Muslims as well.

Making Jerusalem an "open city" would not change much.

Not needed. Parsimony is the only solution. #1: Palestine made a
state, #2: diplomatic relations with Israel established (i.e.
embassies), #3: Israel gets all of Jerusalem as its capital, #4:
Palestine ALSO gets all of Jerusalem as its capital, and #5: each
cedes an embassy district in its capital to the other, comprising half
the capital city.

Job done.

The other is even simpler and will be the one carried out if the
humans race can't shape up -- the solution invoked in the spirit of
Alexander's treatment of the Gordion Knot problem -- I get ownership
of everything; there and everywhere else.
