Salaam Accords
An open-source diplomatic 2-state proposal to heal Palestine-Israeli relations
Our Goal is to Reach a two-state solution, which would establish an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Opening Statement
Good morning family. My name is Matthew Lawrence Yonah Weintrub. As the founder of Heal.Earth, our organization is calling for peace in the Land of Judah.
First I want to express my condolences to my relatives in Israel. I have been crying and praying deeply these past 10 days. My heart is with you and your families. Shalom aleichem.
Secondly I want to express my condolences to my relatives in Palestine. For too long your people have been subject to an injust way of life. I see you, I hear you and my heart feels for your families. Salam alaikum.
These past weeks have been a roller coast of emotions. Due to the severity of what is happening on all fronts in the land of Judah, I need to issue a formal statement. Through my humanitarian organization http://Heal.Earth we are calling for a peace deal.
To begin the peace process in Israel-Palestine, we suggest the following:
- 1.Immediate Ceasefire (as voted by the UN's non-binding resolution)
- 2.Palestinian statehood granted under authority of the Palestinian Authority
- 3.Demilitarization of Palestine.
- 4.Hamas agrees to binding resolutions including demilitarization, agrees to end education of hatred and other reforms.
- 5.Jerusalem becomes an internationally protected zone.
INFORMAL NOTES ON THE SITUATION:
The Palestinian people should've been granted statehood long ago but the far-right in Israel assassinated Yitzhak Rabin -who had a peace deal lined up. This lead to the emergence of Hamas. Israel must take responsibility for this and make an effort to do the right thing.
Israel must END the loss of innocent life. Current reports confirm 2,250 kills of children. This is a violation of international law and constitutes a form of genocide.
Hamas is not excused for it's genocide of the Jewish people. Hamas is guilty of genocide of both Jewish lives and the lives of its own people. Hamas as an organization holds power of its people illegally. No open elections for any office have been held in Gaza since 2006. Hamas must choose to demilitarize immediately. This is the only way forward for Hamas.
i. Reciprocity Intiatives:
This situation is very tricky due to the stated action of Hamas, which is labeled internationally as a terrorist organization. We first need to be able to differentiate between the people of Palestine (whom are more or less capitves of Hamas) and the political leadership organization which compromises Hamas.
Key Questions that need to be posed:
- How does one delineate between a member of Hamas and an innocent Palestinian?
- How does one layout a plan to “demilitarize” Hamas?
- How does one repair the damage of the genocide occurring now which will naturally give birth to more extremism?
Heal.Earth is proposing a set of Reciprocity initiatives for the Israeli government to approach international partners in negoatiating with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Reciprocity is an practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit.
