Sir-
New (and old) Israeli towns and investments should be inclusive, with respect for returning Palestinian refugees woven into any and all state sponsored plans.
A two state solution to actually end the Israel-Palestine conflict must be based on building a better way forward for both Israelis and Palestinians. Some will be visitors, some will be citizens, but all must be free to live and work and vacation in peace wherever they are, with the rule of fair and just laws creating a safer saner environment for ALL men, women and children, regardless of supposed race or religion.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
Notes
Live
by the Golden Rule
Words to Honor: The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 1.
"In 1949, the international community accepted Israel's UN membership upon two conditions: That they respect resolutions 181 (two states) and 194 (refugee rights). Neither has been honored. In fact, 65 years later, Israel has not even acknowledged what it did in 1948." Saeb Erekat
"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." Eleanor Roosevelt
Jordan's King Abdullah II explains that extremism has "grown fat" off of the longstanding conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

".... it being clearly understood that nothing
shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious
rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine....
The Office of International Religious
Freedom ( http://www.state.gov/j/drl/irf/)
Given the U.S. commitment to religious freedom, and to the
international covenants that guarantee it as the inalienable
right of every human being, the United States seeks to:
Promote freedom of religion and conscience throughout the world as a fundamental human right and as a source of stability for all countries
11
December 1948 UN Resolution
194:"Refugees
wishing to return to their homes and
live at peace with their neighbours
should be permitted to do so at the
earliest practicable date, and that
compensation should be paid for the
property of those choosing not to
return and for loss of or damage to
property which, under principles of
international law or in equity,
should be made good by the
Governments or authorities
responsible"
Palestinian
Refugees(1948-NOW) refused their right to
return... and their right to live in peace free from religious bigotry
and injustice.
The Golden Rule... Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you
