Neat solution to problem of Palestine... What I propose here is that the flow of millions of Zionists to Palestine be reversed. That the Zionists who emigrated to Israel should be offered a peaceful and generously compensated return to where they came from or the choice of any other destination. And that the descendants of emigrants who were born in Israel be invited to return to the countries of their parents/grandparents, or to go somewhere else as they choose. In a well-crafted UN plan to decolonize Israel and reconstruct Palestine, the injustices that befell the Palestinians should not be repeated. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were driven from their homes and lands, never receiving a penny in compensation for the immense damage inflicted on them by the Zionist project. This is not the example to follow. So my proposal does not involve deporting Israelis from Israel, but giving them opportunities to build far better lives elsewhere which over time would unwind the Zionist project. Let me repeat: the example set by the Zionists in 1948 should not be followed. Must never be followed! The goal should be to achieve a peaceful movement of people to restore the pre-colonization status. Compensation should (finally) be paid to the native Palestinians, and also to all Zionists who consent to a peaceful emigration from the conquered lands. This compensation should be paid from a fund to be set up and administered by the UN, the money for which should be largely contributed by the countries that helped to partition Palestine in 1947: that is, the USA, Europe and Russia. These same countries would have to allow all those who took the Palestinian lands away to enter their territories as legal immigrants. Of course, other UN members could also offer to take certain numbers of Zionist colonialists. (Peter Cohen)
