….calls for cede of areas to Israel for peace
From Jeff Amechi Agbodo,
The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), a respected Democracy and Human Rights Advocacy Voice in Nigeria and beyond since 2008 has strongly called on the present leaders of the United Nations particularly its two important organs of the UN Secretariat and the UN Security Council as well as its agencies like UNESCO, UN Human Rights Council, etc and internationally respected actors and voices to act timely, states-manly, creatively and responsibly so as to find a permanent solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and save the Humanity from catastrophic implosion arising from another catastrophic world war (WW3).
The group said that UN be reminded that failure to have the above timely, creatively and expertly handled will throw the current Humanity of seven billion-plus into unquenchable catastrophes with capacity to wipe out hundreds of millions of members of the Human Family as well as “industrial-scale” destruction of sources of human survival including animals, plants and habitable environments.
The Chairman of Intersociety Mr. Emeka Umeagbalasi in a statement said that by the quantity of arms and armaments especially licit and illicit small arms and light weapons and chemical, biological and nuclear weapons as well as aerial and sea warfare equipment proliferating around the world and in possession of aggressive hands and countries; the United Nations and internationally visionary and thinkable persons must timely rise to the occasion before it is too late.
According to Intersociety: “Unveiling “one state-In-two lands-deals” with Canada and Algeria. To achieve this, thinkable moments, concessions, ground shifting, tradeoffs, selflessness, innovative, charismatic and visionary ideas; recognition of historical realities, diplomatic ingenuities, positive and balanced power-plays, cultural affinities, neutralities and balanced positions by Governmental and Inter-Governmental bodies and respected persons, etc are all needed. By several and extensive geographical and demographical investigations conducted by Intersociety cutting across the Middle-East, the Oceania, the Europe, the South and the North America, the Association of the Independent former Soviet States and the North Africa including the Maghreb Region; the “One-State-in-Two Lands Deals” is very achievable with capacity to permanently put an end to the protracted Israeli-Palestinian bloody conflicts.
“The “One State-In-Two Lands Peace Deals” for the State of Israel and the People of Palestine is remarkably different from the “Two-States-In-One-Land Solution” suggested by some western leaders in the past. Instead, our own “One State-in-Two Lands” Peace Deals” is aimed at retention by the Israelis and Palestinians of their respective ancestral lands presently in their possession under UN for purposes of preservation of their seats of power and historical and cultural heritages including granting unhindered access to Christians, Muslims and Jews to their holy sites including historical and cultural symbols in Israel.
“These holy sites are the Islamic Dome of the Rock completed in 692AD, the Al-Qsa Mosque built in 685AD-715, the Wailing Wall (for Jews) built in 19AD, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre rebuilt from its 70AD Roman destruction and consecrated on 13th September 335AD (etc) and the Church of Nativity (the birthplace of Jesus Christ) built around 330AD. All the named religious holy sites are presently located in Old City of Jerusalem in the State of Israel and Palestinian administered territories.
“Intersociety hereby makes a strong case for founding of a new land for Israelis through a ‘land donation or cession via procurement’ from Canada and a new land for Palestinians through a ‘land donation or cession via procurement’ from Algeria; to be respectively designated as “New Israel” and “New Palestine”. The two “New Lands” will be for demographic settlements and economic development with capacity to permanently end population congestions in Israel and Palestine. The two new ‘sets of lands” in question shall be donated or willingly ceded or procured through treaties under the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations Secretariat and ratified by the United Nations General Assembly. The two Deals must involve the authorities of Palestine and Israel and their allies including USA, EU, Russia, China, UK, the Arab League, Iran, Turkey, Canada, Algeria, the Organization of Islamic Conference, the Organization of American States, etc.
“The two “New Lands” will also bring about returning and resettlement of exiled and overseas’ Palestinians and Israelis, etc and dousing of tensions and freeing the Israeli and Palestinian present ancestral lands from over population and violent antagonism, etc. Our extensive investigations had found that throughout histories, lands have been donated freely or acquired monetarily or annexed militarily and later legitimized or legalized by treaties (.i.e. Lagos Treaty of Cession of August 6, 1861 which technically ceded Niger Area (Nigeria) to the British Empire per King (Oba) Dosunmu (“Docemo”).
“Key findings arising from our extensive investigations. Claims over lands and roots of origin (historical conundrum) and resultant religious divisions and bickering are the central cause of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
“There should be retention by Israel and Palestine of their present lands with concessions by Israel allowing for boundary adjustment to cede part of East Jerusalem to Palestinians to add to their Gaza and West Bank landmass; measuring only 6,220 square kilometers as against Israel’s total landmass of 20, 770 square kilometers (size of Denmark or slightly lower than size of the US State of New Jersey).
” Israelis have homeland population of 7.1m and 8.3m others living outside the country mostly in US where approximately 6m live and Europe; totaling over 15.4m excluding “assimilated” and “lost tribes of Israel”.
” Palestinians have approximately 7m citizens living in Israeli occupied territories, West Bank and Gaza and out of this number, 2.3m live in Gaza with small landmass of 365 square kilometers or over 5000 people per square kilometer; making it the third most densely populated city in the world.
” Global Palestinian population are put at 14m with 7m living in Gaza, West Bank and 1948 demarcated areas and 6.3m living in Arab countries and 750,000 others scattered in other countries including Europe and Americas.
“Totality of these clearly indicates acute shortage of land and space for the citizens of the two ancient tribes.
” There is need for retention by the Israelis and Palestinians of their respective ancestral lands in their possession under UN System or Mandate for purposes of preservation of their seats of power and historical and cultural heritages including granting unhindered access to Christians, Muslims and Jews to their holy sites and historical and cultural symbols
“Kazakhstan was found to be the Muslim country with largest landmass in the world measuring 2.73million square kilometers (more than three times Nigeria’s 923,000 square kilometers quartering its human population of over 180m), but the Kazakhstan’s odd side is its over 26percent Christian population and 70% Muslim population, as against Algeria’s 2.38m square kilometers of landmass (more than two-and-half size of Nigerian landmass) and 99% Muslim population. Algeria is home to only 100,000 Christians.
“With this, the Islamic Republic of Algeria is favorably disposed to be approached for land donation or cession via procurement to the Palestinian People. This is in addition to age-long cultural, political, economic and religious affinities between Algeria and Palestine dating back to 1950s.
“Algerian population of 46m (2023 UN estimates) and its growth rate was not found to be threatened even in the next 10,000 years; in case it is persuaded to donate or cede via procurement a land to Palestine, as it can harmlessly donate as much as 300,000 square kilometers of landmass to Palestinians in our “land-donation-for-peace” recommendation and appeal.
” Canada, on the other hand, is the most favorable and friendly to be approached for land donation or cession via procurement to the State of Israel. It can harmlessly donate as much as 500,000 square kilometers of landmass to the State of Israel without territorial threats in the next 10,000 years.
“Canada is also found to be the second Christian or non Muslim country with largest landmass in the world, after Republic of Russia’s 17.1m square kilometers (roughly twenty times more than the size of Nigeria’s 923,000). Canada has total landmass of 9.98m square kilometers with human population size of only 39m (2023).
” Area distance between Canada and Israel is measured at 8,850 kilometers or 4,776 nautical miles; meaning 9.8hrs flight from Tel Aviv to Ottawa or Montreal or Toronto (space distance). Area distance between Palestine (Gaza Strip) and Algeria (Algiers) is 2,923 kilometers or 36.7hrs by road on 80km per hour and 4.9hrs by air.
” While Canada as a Christian country shares a lot in common with Jewish State of Israel, Islamic Palestine also shares a lot in common with the Islamic Republic of Algeria.Possibility of future conflicts along social, economic and religious lines between Algeria and Palestine; and between Canada and Israel was found to be very minimal, if not totally absent” Umeagbalasi stated.
