I told you so

Nothing of substance is happening as far as the peace process goes.
It wont happen in the near future or ever for that matter.
There is no real recipe to stop the over one hundred year old fight.
Some Israelis and academics such as Daniel Pipes has suggested that there be a total victory over the Palestinians that would start a rebuilding based on victorious and vanquished.
Great idea.
It will take many decades to start to implement but it is the best way forward.
It is hard to imagine the Hamas or Islamic Jihad accepting defeat and just walking away.
If the Gaza strip is taken over partially by Egypt and with American money then maybe a post Japan model would work.
Very big maybe.
There needs to be a modern Marshall plan for the Arabs of Gaza that will rebuild the strip and help the residents.
This will cost a lot of money that many Arab states will supply with American backing.
This could be turned into a modern Arab state with commerce and modern infrastructure.
This is probably a Pipes dream (pun intended)and will not be feasible for next 20-30 years but you need to start somewhere.
After Israel enters Gaza for last time there needs to be a plan how to govern the millions who live there.
There are no simple solutions to this problem.
There needs to come forth a leader who advocates some kind of autonomy/ statehood in Gaza that does not seek to take over more territory.
This type of government needs a leader with vision.
Sadly this is not going to happen very soon.
The Japanese model was of complete unconditional surrender something that seems impossible in this neighborhood.
The idea of a Palestinian state pushes back any resolution many decades away.
This madness needs to stop someday.
