Want peace with statehood? Sign this contract:

“What I need to hear from a Palestinian is this: the Jewish people, as a people, have the equal right to self-determination in this land which is also their homeland. I know that this means that we can build a state of Palestine next to the Jewish state of Israel and not instead of it. I understand that this means that living in Gaza and the West Bank I am not a refugee from Palestine. This means I do not possess a right of return into the sovereign state of Israel. I only want to build a prosperous state of Palestine in Gaza and the West Bank and nowhere else. And I always tell them go bring me one….and no one ever does. And just to be clear, it’s not that I’m sitting and saying, oh look at me you know no one ever comes back. As I said, as a long-term peace activist I’m looking for these voices.”

It's Dr. Einat Wilf’s, constructive specificity contract that turns the bedroom lights on, not the “constructive ambiguity,” her former boss Shimon Peres preferred. He was wrong when he said peacemaking, “like making love, is best done partially in the dark.”

Gazans can have statehood or their delusional War of Return on Jewish sovereignty, but not both. Choose Bassam Eid, Mosab Hassan Youssef and Mohammed Dajani (https://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-professor-who-took-students-to-auschwitz-holocaust-denial-imperils-peace/) or Sinwar, and his billionaire buddies in Doha and Istanbul, Meshal, Marzouk, 72 virgin bangers Ismail Haniyeh and Nasrallah. Your choice.
