August 25, 2014 Another day of Red Alert sounding every few minutes to the people in the south and around Gaza. Another day of air raids to try and stop the launching of the rockets and the fiering of the mortar bombs which proved to be our weak spot, now way of intercepting it (yet) and a very short (seconds) warning time. Hamas targeted the Erez crossing yesterday while they were taking wounded Palestinian for treatment in Israel. Five people were wounded by the mortar bombs. I had an epiphany, a surge of optimistic and possibly non realistic illusions. May be it is the manifestation of anti reaction of my pessimistic overdose of last week. Clear your heads from all prejudice, forget for a moment about the global Muslim threat. I know it is difficult almost like stop breathing but try!!! Supposedly, Israel comes out with a statement as follows, but read it to the end befor you erase it with disgust, some positives at the end. In order to end the cycle of death and destruction in our area, the futile death of the innocents and the trauma inflicted on so many, on both sides of the border, we suggest the following: 1) The Palestinians get a seaport and Airport 2) The Borders between Israel and its neighbors in Gaza and the West Bank will be open for free movement of people and merchandise. 3) Israel and the international community with rebuild Gazas homes and industry, build a water desalination plants to make sure they have enough drinking and agriculture water. 4) The border between Egypt and Gaza will become the main crossing border for the Gazans and will be open and monitored by appointed and trained personnel (accepted by both sides) 5) In return, Israel and the international community will disarm and demilitarize Gaza 6) Appointed international observers (accepted by both sides) will monitor any movement of goods to the Gaza strip to make sure it remains weapon and explosives free. 7) The Palestinians will declare the acceptance of the State of Israel, its right to exist in security with discussion over the territorial land exchange which will involve Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinians and Israel. Who would reject such a plan and be able to say it is a bad plan, I cannot accept it? May be then, the world will be able to start dealing with the real problems, such as ISIS, growing racism, Global warming, annihilation of threatening diseases and many more unfinished tasks. I woke up sweating all over!!! Was it a nightmare or a wishful thinking vision that will never be realized? Who is a pessimist now???
