A Strategy for Making Peace with the Palestinians
(BESA Center for Strategic Studies-Bar-Ilan University) Max Singer - Israel will not be able to make peace with the Palestinians until it devises a strategy to encourage the Palestinians to give up their hopes for the destruction of Israel. The Palestinian community will abandon these hopes only when it is convinced that making peace is a better option. The most important ways to work towards peace are the resettlement of Palestinian "refugees" outside of Israel; stopping the hate campaign in the Palestinian education system; reducing monetary aid to Palestinian leaders who reject peace; and encouraging open debate in Palestinian society. The writer is a founder of the Hudson Institute and a senior research associate at the BESA Center.
