Options for Peace

The “peace process” has been heavily criticized for its failures.  Nonetheless, proposed solutions to the conflict exist and are going to inform diplomatic efforts in the future.  All serious proposals tend to emphasize the way territory will need to be shared regardless of whether they are conceptualized as two-state, one-state or bi-national state solutions.

The Geneva Accord:

The Geneva Accord is an initiative to keep working on the "two state solution" even after the peace process broke down. While the history of failed diplomatic efforts to resolve the Palestinian Israeli Conflict equitably is somewhat entrenched in the mediasphere at present, there is, in fact, at least one group working on the details of a viable plan once the political will to adapt and adopt emerges.

Israelis and Palestinians are now living through the darkest times in their shared history on this land. However, despite all the grief, anger and pain, we, a group of Israelis and Palestinians, remain faithful to our joint journey for our future and the future of our children. We are A Land for All, a movement of people who know that there is another way: we can live here separately and together in two independent states that share one homeland. Our vision is based on recognising that both people belong to this homeland and the understanding that only partnership and personal and collective equality will bring a safer and better life for all.
