Don’t Rip the Roadmap

The roadmap is the best and the only way to revive the peace process and stop the current war. It is vital to implement it and to not complaints of both sides.
I go to pro-Israeli propaganda websites and I see flaming against the roadmap. I go to the Palestinian propaganda sites and see the same. Fanatics from both sides have launched the attack against the roadmap.
The excuses vary, from “it won’t work” to “we give, but don’t get anything”. However the plan will give both sides their immediate needs: Israel will get end to the violence against it, and a friendly Palestinian government, while the Palestinians will get freezing of the settlements, IDF withdrawals and a promise of a state, a promise they can actually believe in.
The map is the best chance to peace. In order for it to work both sides must truly accept it and act according to it. The Americans and Europeans must also put strong pressure on both the Israelis and the Palestinians and make them fulfill it.
The roadmap is exactly what this region needs, and fanatics and demagogues must not be allowed to bury this initiative, so that the Israeli and the Palestinian people will enjoy it. It is about time. There is no better or more realistic plan.
