LETTER:Solve the conflict first

The tragedy of the Middle East upheaval with its ISIL evil and now the world refugee crises will only grow worse

The tragedy of the Middle East upheaval with its ISIL evil and now the world refugee crises will only grow worse until it’s origin, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved. The implementation of the “Moses Plan” could expedite its resolution.

The Moses Plan would have the millions of Palestinian refugees in the surrounding Arab countries use their feet and walk as a body to Jerusalem, similar to the ancient Moses trek from Egypt to the Promised  land, insuring a solution with the mind to the Israeli – Palestinian impasse  and stabilizing the Middle East.

The benefits would be unimaginable.

Joe Schwarz, Penticton
