The Arab Peace Initiative

The Council of the League of Arab States at the Summit Level, at its 14th Ordinary Session,

Reaffirms the resolution taken in June 1996 at the Cairo extraordinary Arab summit that a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East is the strategic option of the Arab countries, to be achieved in accordance with international legality, and which would require a comparable commitment on the part of the Israeli government.
Having listened to the statement made by his royal highness Prince Abdullah Bin Abdullaziz, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in which his highness presented his initiative, calling for full Israeli withdrawal from all the Arab territories occupied since June 1967, in implementation of Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, reaffirmed by the Madrid Conference of 1991 and the land for peace principle, and Israel's acceptance of an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in return for the establishment of normal relations in the context of a comprehensive peace with Israel.
Emanating from the conviction of the Arab countries that a military solution to the conflict will not achieve peace or provide security for the parties, the council:

1. Requests Israel to reconsider its policies and declare that a just peace is its strategic option as well.

2. Further calls upon Israel to affirm:

       a. Full Israeli withdrawal from all the territories occupied since 1967, including the Syrian Golan Heights to the lines of June 4, 1967 as well as the remaining occupied Lebanese territories in the south of Lebanon.

       b. Achievement of a just solution to the Palestinian refugee problem to be agreed upon in accordance with U.N. General Assembly Resolution 194.

       c. The acceptance of the establishment of a Sovereign Independent Palestinian State on the Palestinian territories occupied since the 4th of June 1967 in the West Bank and Gaza strip, with east Jerusalem as its capital.

3. Consequently, the Arab countries affirm the following:

       a. Consider the Arab-Israeli conflict ended, and enter into a peace agreement with Israel, and provide security for all the states of the region.

       b. Establish normal relations with Israel in the context of this comprehensive peace.

4. Assures the rejection of all forms of Palestinian patriation which conflict with the special circumstances of the Arab host countries.

5. Calls upon the government of Israel and all Israelis to accept this initiative in order to safeguard the prospects for peace and stop the further shedding of blood, enabling the Arab Countries and Israel to live in peace and good neighborliness and provide future generations with security, stability, and prosperity.

6. Invites the international community and all countries and organizations to support this initiative.

7. Requests the chairman of the summit to form a special committee composed of some of its concerned member states and the secretary general of the League of Arab States to pursue the necessary contacts to gain support for this initiative at all levels, particularly from the United Nations, the security council, the United States of America, the Russian Federation, the Muslim States and the European Union.

They have a right to the land because they are human beings.

Even if it was about the holy land, it would still not be your place to judge whether they are sufficiently pious. Otherwise you would have to expect the Arabs to set up a proper Islamic state before they had any right to own land in the middle east.

No it doesn't. You are applying a standard to them that you would not accept for anyone else.

This whole concept of who has the religious justification to own land is the cause of the problem, not the solution. You need to think outside of that box if you are to solve the problem.

The only similarities that they were both Palestinians, both young and both Girls.

Your post just goes to show that you beleive in profiling and collective punishment. You see all palestinian little girls as being terrorists who should be shot.

That's exactly what I mean.. You believe anyone who is not a white European is sub human. Because you'd never accept me using the same standard of judgement in judging white European non Muslims. Because by your logic I could quite easily say how is any Israeli different from an Israeli soldier, in fact I'd be far more accurate to say that because ALL Israeli's serve in their army and thus according to your logic would make it completely acceptable to not only kill every adult Israeli, but every little Israeli child because they would grow up to join the army and oppress the Palestinians.

But lucky I don't think like you and don't believe all Israeli's should be killed, unlike you who believe all little palestinian girls should be killed.

I am no fan of Israel, but I do think they have the right to exist, and I do believe that as long as crazy muslims keep attacking them, they will retaliate mercilessly.
