What do Palestinians want?

Niezaar Abrahams, Eastridge

The killing by the Israeli army of thousands of Palestinian children, women and innocent men – lets you think.

What is the solution to this war?

The Palestinians want their country.

That is Palestine within the pre-1948 borders, which includes the whole of Israel, Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

How is this achievable?

1. An immediate ceasefire in Gaza and complete withdrawal of Israeli troops.

2. The release of all Palestinian prisoners and Israeli hostages.

3. The complete withdrawal of Israeli military from the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

4. Return of all Palestinian refugees, 6 million to their homeland, which is denied by Israel.

5. Free and fair elections for all, which treats Arabs and Jews as equals.

This is the only and lasting solution for peace and justice in Palestine.

God bless Palestine.
