Anyway, the leadership of the Arabs (or Palestinians) have made it clear that they are not interested in money or even their own lives (since they have a history of strapping bombs to their own people and sending them to us). They are committed to stopping Jews from living in Israel. Their respective charters spell it out and the goals are confirmed by a number of public speeches.
So, it’s really not about land or refugees or real estate or anything of the things that the common media tries to portray it as. If all that it took was to pay the Arabs and then they would let us live in peace, that would make things so easy.
In fact, even in private deals, if an Arab is caught accepting money from a Jew for the purchase of property they are imprisoned and even sometimes killed by the PLO courts. It has happened even just this year and has happened numerous times in the past 20 or so years.
You are correct though, that Jews should be able to pay them whatever they want and then live without feeling threatened. The problem is that the PLO / Hamas / etc don’t view it that way.
“If you show the world that you’re willing to pay and that individuals are willing to sell, people will think you’re the good guy.”
The second part is the problem. Jews are regularly having their homes in Israel demolished, even though they bought them legitimately from Arabs with deeds to prove it, because the Arabs fear for their life to admit that they sold their house to a Jew. Often when these deals are done, the Arab owner takes the money and flees. Other cases when the owner sticks around they are forced to lie about the deal. Ultimately, the Israeli courts usually side in favor of the Arabs to pacify the PLO and so Jews who legitimately bought real estate from Arabs are expelled from their homes.
As for showing anything to the world, people generally believe what they want to believe. There are articles that run in the middle east that claim that Israel trains sharks to attack Egyptians. And some people believe those articles. The truth is all available, but not everybody questions the mis-information enough to care about the truth.
Anyway, that’s a shame that you can’t post on quora because some admin didn’t like your opinions. I would expect getting banned for spamming or harvesting data or something like that, but not saying your opinion. If somebody doesn’t like it they can downvote.
