The Arc

 The arc A Formal Structure for a Palestinian State produced by the Rand Corporation. It is a giant leap in the right direction into finding a peaceful solution in the Palestinian-Israeli crisis. It is a ten year plan to develop the West Bank one day connecting it to Gaza. It addresses many of the problems the people of Palestine face in forming a viable state. Only with a prospers Palestinian society that resembles the society of the State of Israel will the people of both societies have any real security. 

They spent more than 3 million dollars and four years in the development of this plan. It is a thirty-three billion dollar plan over ten years that addresses the Palestinian issues of transportation, housing, education, commerce, justice and the contiguity of the State of Palestine. It is a very comprehensive plan creating a clear image of a much better way of life for the Palestinian people. Restoring their dignity and hope for a better future for their children is the best first steps towards peace.

There is no way to peace, peace is the way. The Arc is the way for long term peace to become a reality in the Palestinian/Israeli crisis. The challenges are to make the Arc a reality that more people can see, as well as working out the full implementation of the Arc’s plan. The earlier more people get behind a plan like the Arc the sooner it could become a reality. Everyone should write to their elected representatives letting them know about the Arc and your support of the plan. Who could not support such a plan of a way to peace as the arc. Global Crier

Dear elise,

Nice to visit your profile here.

We can be good partners on common issue.

Peace.

Hi Elise! I saw some of your posts...I am finding the idea of inclusive security very interesting. Though I am a political science major, I have not studied much of international relations, but am now delving deeper into it, especially with development communication and refugee issues. May I friend you? I'd love to hear more about your work with the Institute for Inclusive Security, as well as your research areas.

I work in the Department of Health

hello elise
how are u doing?

Thank you Dear.
Unfortunately I do not have working ideas about IDP , but again I can add up some of experiences about the issue of IDPs in Nepal which is an issue that blurs the line of differentiotion.I hope catagorization of the IDPs based on the source may provide a clear picture with some policy implications.
Sometimes the issue of relocation and prevailing eco political environment attracts more people towards the IDP bracket, this is what I have experienced in Nepal, and I hope, approaching the issue from shifting paradigm will help us understand it better.
I will share more in times..
Thank you again for being my friend.

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
