PURPOSE: To Create a Lasting Peace between Israelis and Palestinians. 

There is an opportunity for a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine, and if we rise to the moment, we can end 75 years of suffering on all sides. There are people across the region dreaming of peace. This roadmap can be a way to get them there. Imagine a safe, prosperous, free Israel and Palestine. This will not be an easy task, but man-made problems have man-made solutions. Give people hope in a peaceful resolution and no one else needs to die in this conflict. Dare to DREAM that this roadmap can be that HOPE, and that we can set the conditions to live in a world where they one day call each other friends.

KEY NOTES: This roadmap was created using backwards planning. I first started by looking at the End State. I looked at what a truly just peaceful future looks like and came up with the key elements of what I thought it comprised of. Then I planned how we could get there from here. When looking at the end state, remember that it is not something that will happen tomorrow, but something that will be the result of years of effort. Some elements may seem unrealistic now, but with proper planning, leadership, and guidance, it becomes feasible. Do not forget that this is a man-made problem, so it can be solved by man, and do not forget that there is a history of hundreds of years where Arabs and Jews lived together in peace. Conflict is not inevitable. 

BOUNDARIES: WE DO NOT accept a Genocide or Mass Deportations of the Jewish or Palestinian peoples. There will be none of that in this plan.
