And in the mean time, Israel's secret agencies will no doubt try their best make sure that Palestine never grows a significant army to defend itself with. The best chance for Palestine is for it to join up with a larger, more powerful country like Jordan.
As for Israel, the Negev (southern Israel) will be given to Jordan as compensation for the massive destruction of infrastructure in Palestine. Northern Israel will stay independent as a Jewish state. Jerusalem and the surrounding areas should become a separate city-state, ruled by a tri-religious council, and the Golan Heights should become part of Syria again.
All countries in the region (Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria) must be stripped of the capablity to make any kind of millitary offensive other than a counter-offensive in the event that somebody else attacks them. This will help to ensure peace.

wrong again, Jordan became a country with borders and all by 1946, my familly and many other Palestinians were living in a village around Jerusalem for centuries and centuries, we were never jordanians or living on jordanian land. We were always Palestinians.
again, it is a zionist lie that we Palestinians are Jordanians or we were on Jordanian land, I repeat we were living on this land which we knew and refered to as Palestine (filistine) with our own culture and identity......
the west bank was only under Jordanian rule from 1948-1967, many Arabs opposed this as well.....
and btw i have no problem with Jordan or Jordanians, but Jordan is Jordan, and Palestine is Palestine, I am a Palestinian from the land of Palestine, i am not a Jordanian from Jordan. No one will ever rob of us of our identity and history and make false claims that we are Jordanians or were part of Jordan.
as for Palestine not being able to stand on its own or whatever, well that isnt for you, a 16 year old to decide. It is our land, and many Palestinians have been suffering to gain their independance for decades, so it is their right to get their own country and land once and for all.
and you make a funny comment, Jordan is powerful? Israel today is in this strong position because they completely destroyed the Jordanians in the 67 war, not only the Jordanians, but the Egyptions, and Syrians as well!
it is easy for people who have their own country and living nice and happy to tell Palestinians "oh yeah just give your land to Jordan, no problem, no Palestine, just become one with them, give up your identity its all good" its very easy for others to say this as if its like giving away a piece of chicken.
infact forget all the borders, we should bring the Khalifah back and have no borders and all the middle-east will simply be under the rule of Islam, that is the way to go, everyone will have their identity and culture through this, just like they did when Islam ruled........
Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon etc etc all of them are a bunch of weak sell out puppy stooges to America and dont represent one person on the ground.
