What A Load Of... or: Peace's Last Chance?

Geneva Accord

Quote:
Reaffirming their determination to put an end to decades of confrontation and conflict, and to live in peaceful coexistence, mutual dignity and security based on a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace and achieving historic reconciliation
Peaceful. Right.

Quote:
3. Israel and Palestine shall immediately establish full diplomatic and consular relations with each other and will exchange resident Ambassadors, within one month of their mutual recognition.
Can anyone say "Gunboat Diplomacy"?

Quote:
8. The Parties shall cooperate in areas of joint economic interest, to best realize the human potential of their respective peoples. In this regard, they will work bilaterally, regionally, and with the international community to maximize the benefit of peace to the broadest cross-section of their respective populations. Relevant standing bodies shall be established by the Parties to this effect.
Meaning Arafat has to give the money back? Give me a break.

Quote:
(b) Palestine and Israel each shall:
i. Recognize and respect the other's right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from the threat or acts of war, terrorism and violence;
ii. refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the other and shall settle all disputes between them by peaceful means;
iii. refrain from joining, assisting, promoting or co-operating with any coalition, organization or alliance of a military or security character, the objectives or activities of which include launching aggression or other acts of hostility against the other;
iv. refrain from organizing, encouraging, or allowing the formation of irregular forces or armed bands, including mercenaries and militias within their respective territory and prevent their establishment. In this respect, any existing irregular forces or armed bands shall be disbanded and prevented from reforming at any future date;
v. refrain from organizing, assisting, allowing, or participating in acts of violence in or against the other or acquiescing in activities directed toward the commission of such acts.
Meaning the PLO can only meet Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Aqsa Martyr Brigades and all the others on the sly instead of out in the open.

Quote:
(a) No armed forces, other than as specified in this Agreement, will be deployed or stationed in Palestine.
Suddenly, Hamas is a peace group!!!

Quote:
(b) Palestine shall be a non-militarized state, with a strong security force.
Have I mentioned "********" yet?

Personally, I think it's not even worthy as toilet paper, but it's all there is...

Geneva goes easier on Israel than the UN does.

Is it errorous to think that Israel would of been destroyed and renamed "greater Palestine", had it done a better job of following UN Sanctions?

...That probably is errorous. The countries & factions that destroyed Isreal, metaphorically speaking, probably would of turned on each other, out of not wanting to share the land they took.

It's kind of hard to share with people that you bitterly hate. I think that's the root of the problem.
