Birth Of A New Nation: Canaan- A Harsha Sankar Article

 

Dear Citizen,                                                      February 28th, 2020

         Last month a peace plan dealing with the Israel-Palestinian matter in the Middle East was introduced.

         It is important for all following this conflicted matter to keep an open mind and not allow dogma to guide your opinions on this highly sensitive situation.

   

        The current Presidential administration continues to demonstrate an anti-Palestinian stance and this "peace plan" reflects that.

        How can anyone think genuine peace can happen if one side is blocked from discussions? This is nonsense!

        In my view, there is only one solution. A two state solution will not work because there are Palestinian territories splattered across Israel and surrounded by Israel. One state solution that calls for  secular status and that also significantly curtails immigration into its nation from expatriates are in order

        Both Jewish hardliners and Palestinian(Hamas) hardliners oppose this but this is necessary if peace and functionality will take place in that nation. Both America and India embraced secularism even though many of the founders of those nations were deeply religious. No religion, not even atheism, should be state-sponsored!

        A proper Representative tri-partite Republic,based on proper Representative Democracy, must be established with an emphasis on individual rights.

        The new name of one state secular Israel could be Canaan. After all, the land Abraham settled was called Canaan back then. Abraham is considered to be the progenitor of both the Arabs and Jews.
