A Real Possibility for Peace in Gaza and the West Bank 6/27/2025

                               A Real Possibility for Peace in Gaza and the West Bank

For decades, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has brought only bloodshed, despair, and shattered lives—especially in Gaza and the West Bank. Yet peace remains possible. Not through bombs, blockades, or collective punishment, but through moral courage and recognition of our shared humanity.
The world has remained shamefully silent through decades of occupation and apartheid—and now, that silence continues as mass murder and starvation unfold in Gaza. Thousands of civilians, many of them children, face death not from war alone, but from deliberate policies of siege and deprivation.
But a dramatic shift is still possible: a permanent ceasefire, an end to the blockade, and a halt to all settlement expansion. Palestinian factions could unite under a democratic, peace-focused vision. With borders drawn along the 1967 lines and mutually agreed land swaps, Israel and Palestine could coexist as two sovereign states. Jerusalem could serve as a shared capital. The right of return could be addressed through a fair framework of compensation, dignity, and choice.
The international community must stop enabling destruction and instead invest in justice, healing, and reconstruction. Gaza’s schools, hospitals, and homes can be rebuilt. Israeli and Palestinian children can walk to school without fear.
But peace demands more than treaties—it demands truth: that no people is superior to another, and we are all children of the same God. Only by honoring the humanity of both peoples can we end this cycle of vengeance and finally begin a future built on hope.
