#1 They want Israel to sign a surrender doc in the first IDF jets that destroyed Arab airfields back in '67, or the first IDF tank that crossed the Nile into Egypt back in 1973, ala HITLER + INFAM PARIS PEACE TRAIN???

#2 Well, my way would be peace through superior firepower. Who could resist? ;-)

#3 And lets hope that this time around its the kind of peace offer Arabs can understand.

#4 I suggest Israel make them a peace offer they can't refuse. Of course, the Israelis will have to change governments first. No one is going to mistake that bonehead Olmert for Don Corleone. Bibi, on the other hand, might just have the makings....

#5 Any Israeli peace plan should start with.....

"And all Paleos living outside of the West Bank & Gaza are granted citizenship in the country in which they reside retro-active to 1/1/07."

Use that as the starting point and watch the turbans twist.

#6 "Call for Mr. Corleone... Mr. Michael Corleone, to the white courtesy phone..."

#7 I agree. Here is what Israel should be sending as proposal.

Arabs agree to:

1) Keep the Palestinans and not allow any within a minimum of 300 miles from Israel

2) Compensate Isreal for Arab agressions and terrorism since 1948

3) Indemnify the Jews expelled from Arab countries (many had been living there since before the Romans). Indemnify their realatives for those who sere murdered.

4) Indemnify for centuries of dhimmitude and apologize for it.

5) Send a yearly tribute of 10,000 virgins to Israel (cf note). Isrealis get to choose of course.

On its side Israel agree:

1) Not to nuke their sorry asses.

Note: For centuries Muslims have rapted and enslaved dhimmi women, child and teenagers (both sexes). As a secondary effect it contributed to increase the number of Muslims respective to non-Muslims.

#8 I like your plan, JFM, except for #5. Back in the Bible days when they were still just Israelites they figured out that children tend to follow the religion of the mother, even in a patriarchy; if one wants Jewish children, one had better marry a nice Jewish girl who was either born that way or converted. (Recall, King David's grandmother was a convert to Judaism -- a lesson to us all not to be religion snobs just as the slaves in Egypt thingy is a lesson not to be ancestor snobs.) ;-)

#9 I know TW, #5 doesn't play with decent people and believe it or not I am decent.

It was to be read tongue in cheek even if I fantasize about inflicting this supreme slap to those who consider themselves superior due to being Muslims and Arabs.

Context: I have no French blood, every branch of my family ends tracing bcak to Spain. So I take it a bit personal when I read the Muslim chronicle of the invasion of Spain and I see him boasting that "thirty thousand women of great beauty were shared as booty by the invaders". The beauty of slaves doesn't matter when you want them only for cleaning the house...

Not that present day Muslim girls should pay for the crimes of their ancestors.

#10 JFM, you are a gentleman and a scholar; your posts make that very clear. And it is hard, when snot-nosed little Saudi boys just discovering the internet come to Rantburg and boast about raping American wives, then having the husbands clean their servant's toilets. Clearly their parents never taught them the duties of a guest toward his host... and they haven't the intelligence to realize that without American technical expertise the Saudi super-cool airforce will sit useless in the hangers. You've mostly missed them, because of the time difference.

On the other hand, if we think of it as rescuing the girls from life-long torment...

#11 israel may yet make a counter-offer. They want to keep the Saudi process going, and continue to strengthen their ties with Sunni states that fear Iran.

This isnt a good time for such counter offer, as the Olmert govt is too weak.

Also one doesnt want to look like one is rewarding the Saudis for the Mecca agreement, which fell short of the Road Map requirements.

And unfortunately the Israeli response will be judged much more severely for its realism, than was the initial Saudi proposal, which was praised simply for Saudi making a halfway serious peace proposal.

#12 Why MUST Israel?

Must is just one of those weird looser words.

#16 I always thought that Judaism follows the matriarch 'cos you always know who the mother is...

#17 True, Seafarious, but that came later. I've noticed that for almost all my friends and relatives in mixed-religion marriages, it's the wife's religion that the children end up with... at least until they're old enough to make their own decisions on such matters. ;-)
