Just Peace Agreement

Not as crazy as what is already going on in Palestine and Israel.  That is a bad kind of crazy, whereas the JPA is a good kind of crazy.  Crazy enough to think the conflict can be ended once and for all.  Crazy enough to believe that there can be justice for everyone and not just one side.  Crazy enough to make an 80-page treaty that spells out in minute detail every step, every provision, every clause needed to make it happen.  It will work when people adopt it and implement it.

There are very good reasons for aiming high and going all-out for a make-or-break solution that people can get enthusiastic about.  That is what is needed for the Palestinians to commit to peace 100%, without a rearguard of rejectionists carrying on a forlorn resistance/terrorist campaign while everyone else is trying to make peace.  And a 100% commitment by Palestinians is exactly what is required to persuade all the fractious Israeli politicians to realize this is the crunch: there will never be a better chance than the JPA, and never a better time than now.

A rapid and decisive first phase of implementation is vital to make the JPA credible and inspire the hearts and minds of all Palestinians and Israelis.  Day by day, week by week the implementation must roll, so that people can actually see the peace unfolding on the ground and the treaty becoming reality right in front of them. Equally, it is vital to kick-start the subsequent fifteen years of economic development towards parity, so that people's expectations are not disappointed and the JPA delivers on all its promises.  Slow evolution towards peace will never work with resistance/ terrorism and security/oppression going on at the same time.  The violence would pull back the peace process two steps for each one step it took forward.
