Israel and Gaza endure tragedy. FGG raises questions for all to consider regarding “the day after“ – crucial matters in coming years regarding good governance and lasting peace in the Israel/Gaza/West Bank region.
What effort is being made to establish democracy and free elections in Gaza and the West Bank, which have not had honest elections since about 2007?
Will America and the EU demand removal of leaders who reject peace and democracy?
Who will govern Gaza and should a potential independent Palestine have its own military - Air Force, helicopters, hundreds of tanks aside Israel, only 30 miles wide at one point?
What will be done to ensure an independent Palestinian state will not harbor terrorists who attack innocent civilians?
Hamas launches deadly rockets daily at Israel. Iranian sponsored Hezbollah in southern Lebanon has up to 150,000 rockets and fires rockets daily at Israel. What will be done to resolve this problem?
In the interest of peace should action be taken to remove the Iranian supported Hezbollah militia controlling southern Lebanon, with its estimated 150,000 rockets and 25,000+ soldiers, and let the Lebanese government establish full sovereignty in the entire country?
Some 21% of Israeli citizens are Arabs, have the right to vote, and live in peace alongside Jews. Likewise should a future Palestinian state let Jews and Christians live there with the right to vote and be represented?
Does Israel reward West Bank and Arab Israeli residents who show restraint and live in peace, render justice equally, or arrest violent settlers who threaten Palestinians?
Why did Hamas spend billions of dollars on rockets and tunnels over 300 miles long instead of tourism and hotels along its beautiful beaches, or growing its economy? What will be done to ensure a future government in Gaza will end such troubled priorities?
Should America suspend aid to Israel until it treats civilians in the West Bank and Gaza better? Likewise, if Palestinian Authority if leaders do not denounce Hamas terrorism and reject honest democracy?
FGG thanks you for considering these important matters.
