Palesrael

This game, Palesrael is a beta version which looks at creative ways of ending the hostility, aggression and violence between Israel and Palestine. This has been going on for over a century. Not only Israel and Palestine, but many other nations also have a stake in the conflict and can determine the fate of Israel or Palestine.

For example, the United States aids Israel $3 billion every year. This goes into building large scale military infrastructure as well as settlements in the occupied territories which creates a huge obstacle towards peace and Palestinian statehood.

Similarly, the Arab States participate in an economic boycott of Israel and Iran is very supportive towards the Palestinian cause and has declared death threats to Israel.

In this game, you get to play either as the Prime Minister of Israel or the President of Palestine and your task is to get the Israelis and the Palestinians to co-exist through the creation of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders.

When you play as Israel, you may personally want to end the occupation but your people may not be willing to. Zionism has not only claimed lands in the middle east from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, but even from the Nile to the Euphrates. You must end this extreme ideology.

Playing as Palestine, you may not have enough military to threaten Israel but you have ways to resist non-violently, you can grab support from the International Community or learn a lesson or two from Gandhiji, Nelson Mandela or probably Martin Luther King.

Looking hard at the conflict between Israel and Palestine which can be traced down to the beginning of the 20th century, I would say the best way to solve the problem would be to create one single state for Arabs and Jews from the Mediterranean sea to the Jordan river called Palesrael. This would require an end to extremist ideologies from both the sides. Well then, how does one go about tackling the core issues? Here's my perspective:

Firstly the borders of this holy land would include Israel proper, West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Israel would have to end the occupation of the Golan Heights though.

A united Jerusalem would constitute an undivided capital of Palesrael. The Western Wall being the holy site for Jews and Al Aqsa for Muslims.

Citizenship for Palestinian refugees from Gaza and the West Bank. Refugees in other states must be given citizenship in their respective nations. This would justify Israel's absorption of 2.5 million Jews from Arab lands.

Equal access of water to all and equal rights to vote in the secular state of Palesrael.
