Maps


These maps are extremely simplified illustrations of things which may happen when the Just Peace Agreement is implemented.  None of the details shown is accurate.  The processes illustrated will also depend on free choices made by nations, townships and individuals.  Some may not occur in the way the maps illustrate.


Territorial Exchange

This is an interactive map of the one-to-one land-swap.  It allows you to act as if you are the citizens of some towns, villages or settlement blocks.  You can vote for the territorial exchange of your community to the other state, or not.

Click on a square tile on the map to open up that region, then on a town or settlement to vote.  I play the role of the Land Court and decide in advance if an exchange is going to be allowed or refused.  While you are voting, the net exchange of territory is balanced by a transfer of the total difference, adjusting the southern boundaries of the West Bank.

As you try the map, remember that your votes and my decisions may not be the votes and decisions that will really occur when the Just Peace Agreement is implemented.  It will be up to the real people in these communities how they vote and up to the judges to decide if an exchange satisfies the rules; the map just illustrates how some of the land-swap might work.

Territorial Donation

This is an interactive map showing one way that land gifts might be made to Palestine.  None of the gifts shown from neighboring countries is a part of the Just Peace Agreement; it will be up to the countries concerned what they give, but something like this would need to occur if Palestine is to be the same size as Israel.  The order in which the gifts are made is also not important: they could occur in a different order but still reach the same situation finally.

In the initial situation shown in the map, Israeli forces are occupying the West Bank and the Golan Heights and Israel is controlling all access points to the Gaza Strip.

In the first step, we assume a 'land-for-peace' treaty can be agreed between Syria and Israel (perhaps linked to adoption of the Just Peace Agreement) leading to Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights...
