I have just noticed the website of the Israel Initiative, headed by Israeli MK Benny Elon.
In short, the Israel Initiative is a plan based on the following core principles:
- Striving for a humanitarian solution to the Palestinian problem, instead of a political one.
- Basing peace on strategic cooperation with Jordan, instead of with the Palestinian Authority.
- Extending Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, instead of handing over these parts of the country for a Palestinian State.
I still need to investigate the details of the initiative in more depth, but from what I’ve read so far, it definitely has merit. I recommend you all go to the site and read the plan for yourself. Perhaps we can get a good discussion going in the comments.
Update: One other interesting point: Ynet reports that the cinematic trailer serving as a tool for marketing the plan is “starring in the list of the most popular video clips on YouTube just a few days after its release.”
Here it is:
Color me impressed. They even seem to have hired Famous Movie Trailer Voice Guy.
