1 I am VERY interested in getting more involved in this program.
In addition to working full time for [a] fund, helping victims of terrorism, I also write Op-Ed columns which are published on the Arutz-7 and Israelinsider websites as well as occasionally on other media outlets. I would be very interested in helping to develop the ideas of the Summit and helping to increase publicity for these ideas in whatever way I can.

2 The outline of such a proposal seems to me both humane, and viable. Please respond to this email address with further information about the proposal, where it originated, what organization if any is in charge of furthering the objective ... Also, if you could, any other opportunities for employment in humanitarian work such as this project. I am a recent graduate of an American university with specialization in International Relations and a focus on Middle East Politics.

3 As just one American citizen who loves the people of Israel, and hates how the Arab countries have manipulated the so-called "Palestinians" I very much endorse your ideas.

4 The heart and the brain

Dear Jerusalem Summit

From a Jewish perspective our proposal seems logical, humane and durable….It will however have to overcome the very great power of the international media who would like Israel erased from the map. These forces is supported by the enormous economic power of the Arab world … However, I heartily agree with the proposal as formulated and will be happy of help in any way I can…

5 Kol Hakavod [Congratulations]. Finally a sane and logical voice which brings great hope.

6 Let's get going and promote the idea!!!!.... I identify completely with the idea - in fact it has always been my dream…I am no an extremist, I just want Israel to survive; there is no other way and I don't have another country. Best of luck.

9 Support enthusiastically!

A fascinating and instructive document, with sound internal logic which transforms it into a solid concept grounded in reality. Why is there no party founded on the idea?

Menahem F. Senior Executive, Information Security Company, Herzliya [Translated from the Hebrew]

10 Why has it taken so long for this to be said? As a former Labour supporter I pretty much felt this word for word back in 1996 after the waves of Palestinian suicide bombings. I used to feel pride that whereas Palestinian spokesmen constantly attacked Israel, our spokespeople always sounded conciliatory. However, this pride was replaced by despair as it appeared very few Israelis were actually prepared to face reality. Our constant governments of national unity were so blatantly govts of national disunity it is a joke. Why were we losing the media war? Because even our own govts spokesmen criticised our policies! … For the first time I felt, after the latest suicide bombing, a lack of empathy for the victims. Its almost, in fact it was a case of me saying to myself 'What did we expect?'. And the response? Restraint! For the sake of PR points. When will we learn that this gets us nowhere? Remember the restraint shown after the Dolphinarium massacre? What did that get us? The Sbarro massacre.

Thank god I'm not alone.

11 Kol Hakavod [Congratulations] Wish you success who ever you are. Remember "Peace Now" began as a small group and today, they regrettably control the country. We will need a great deal of of patience and perseverance. I would be happy to receive further details and to help.

12 I liked it - I hope you will succeed [in implementing] the solution.

Gary, Advocate, Herzliya
13 Your idea sounds very interesting. We have to wke the Israeli public up - and the Americans as well - fromt he dream of two states for two "people". We have to explain that it is not feasible to establish a terror state adjacent to Kfar Saba and this will only make the situation worse…. Please keep me updated on conference and ideas on similar issues

R.Y. [translated form the Hebrew]
14 Since we are always being told that the Right wing does not have a Alternative. Why doesn"t the Right wing in the Knesset initiate a proposal/ debate in the plenary on this plan??

Suzy D. Rehovot [translated form the Hebrew]

15 A welcome initiative. My ther be many more. The task is now urge one of the serious politicians to raise the issue in the media.

16 Humanitarian Solution

Shalom,
I read your website. The idea and the approach are brilliant …

Eran B. Prominent IT entrepreneur. [translated form the Hebrew]

17 The proposed solution seems attractive due to its logical construction. I would be quite in favor of the proposal not as a coercive imperative, but as a voluntary option. As for putting [the Palestinians under the auspices of the UNHCF - I am in total agreement. Anyway, this is the a essential first step for the process

O. Sadan, France [translated form the Frence]

18 Finally, someone is talking sense

19 Excellent
Your platform is well formulated and well presented How can rank and file citizens help promote your agenda? Some kind of "action items" would be appropriate to add to the web page.

B'Hatzlacha, M, Navon, Israel
20 I support the idea, even though it is 58 years too late--better than never...I see no sponsor listed...I understand you take the temperature of this very brave idea.

Good luck Oregon Oaks [oregonoaks@hotmail.com]
21 great idea......but do you really think that the Palestinians can be bought?....if so, how can i help?

Max - AOL
22 I totally support the idea. Its quite revolutionary. Good luck gathering support.

I followed your ad from Ynetnews this morning (Mon) and found your evaluation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be astute and compelling. I will be happy to receive more information and attend forthcoming conferences, should any be planned. Please keep me informed.

24 I found these proposals very interesting and I would like to know how and when is this intented to be effectively implemented ,and what must be done for it to happen as soon as possible.

Best regards,

25 This is the most reasonable response, the one I was
trying to promote to my friends for years. Finally,
somebody is proposing it publicly. The difficulty of
this approach is that it may be extremely expensive to
bribe any Arab government to allow building some
development towns for Palestinians. Yet, promise of
Western investments in the potential industrial
development in these towns may be an attractive
factor.
In any event, this is the only realistic approach,
which will bring true resolution to the conflict.

27 a viable solution
well put together & convincing argument. Sure some "Palestinians would want to remain in Israel proper- let them, but the self perpetuation of a refugee crisis is what unfortunately give the modern Palestinian its heritage. Take their squalor away & their very quest to have a flourishing Israel to suck dry is shortly forgotten.

David S. Architect, London UK [info@statmans.co.uk]
28 Reasonable concept

Zvi L. Israel
29 Your solution to this problem-Bravo
I heartily support it.

Vr Sonti [sontiv@yahoo.com]
30 A very logical solutions, feasible and can be implemented swiftly. You must publish this initiative among international statesmen and to promote it in Israel…Past and present attempts at finding a slution must be shown to be unrealistic and irrelevant…

Y. [translated form the Hebrew]

31 Amazing. Correct and accurate.

Yaakov, Israel [translated form the Hebrew]

32 Your proposal sounds logic[al] and interesting. Could you (e-)mail me the complete report?

I like it. Good luck!

34 Kol Hakavod [Congratulations]

A. , Haaretz.co.il [Original in Hebrew]

35 Finally a realistic and sensible solution - one that does not give up to terrorism, what rightfully belongs to Israel, one that claims the birthright of the Jewish people, and one that can be achieved without violence … So will Israel have the courage to implement it without world approval? Then we will know whether Israel is strong or not. As long as Israel gives in to its need for 'approval' the world knows it is weak, and the bullies of the world will continue to step on it. Only from strength will Israel survive.

For the sake of Israel, and for Jews in the diaspora, we must do all we can to implement these ideas.

Sincerely,
E. F - Los Angeles

… it is a well thought-out plan.

37 Sounds like a good proposal to me

On first reading, the plan strikes me as coherent, well-presented and timely.
I would be interested in addressing this at a future event and in writing, and to use my publications - Israel Insider and Jewsweek - to convey articles on this subject.
I would require a prior request for use of any quote, including the content of this email.
I would also like to know more about your organization and its plans.

Best regards,

42 I congratulate you on the initiative. Please keep up your efforts.

43

A wonderful idea with a great deal of originality that merits an effort to implement it. If you are interested to act as a party/movement, I will be happy to volunteer to help.

Best wishes,

Finally an idea that can solve the problem once and for all…

Shalom,

I am 17.5 from Haifa. I would be interested in more information on the proposal

Noam , [Translated from Hebrew]

47 Cool - who are you anyway? You present so logically and non-hysterically what some right-wingers have been saying for years - only you come off as liberal and humanitarian!

[Need more] mention of the total corruption of the leadership and how the Palestinians already could have been freed of so many problems if the int'l money had gone to their plight instead of to the shopping sprees of the leaders and their wives.

Naomi A.

48 A very interesting and pragmatic approach to this ongoing problem.
I found it informative, and I am in agreement with the proposals set forth.
All the best with promoting this solution.

Kind regards
S. Smith, Adelaide, Australia
49 A wise, intelligent and pragmatic solution…

Gad K. Rehovot, [Translated from the Hebrew]

50 I read the full text of the proposal. "Bravo" to the to thoughtful individuals that have put it together! Selling the idea will be an uphill battle, but, again, you have given this brave consideration. I suspect that to sell the idea successfully you will have to market it aggressively - having a spot on GOOGLE was a great idea (actually caught my attention for some reason - usually I never click on any of those items!)…

Howard T.
51 I read your proposal on the web site of Haaretz and can not agree more I would like to get more information about the Jerusalem summit and your other activities

thanks
Anat
52 I want to encourage you in your efforts and am willing to offer my assistance.

Dror A. Jerusalem.

53 I don't agree with you on certain things, but I do agree that giving Palestinians money to relocate is a good idea.

However, I don't think that you should wait until UNRWA is dismantled and Arab countries to agree to make refugees citizens before you set up your relocation program, because that could take loo long a time.

A better idea is to set up the relocation program FIRST, and then when the Arab countries realize that they can't use the Palestinians against Israel anymore, there would be less of an incentive to keep them refugees.

As an American citizen, I do not like my tax dollars going to Israel to support Palestinian oppression, but I would not mind the same tax dollars put into a relocation program, provided that the emigres have enough money for a middle-class existence in the countries they choose to go to. You might want to take your proposal to AIPAC and see what they say about it.
