There is no need for an initifada
Yesterday there was a suicide bombing in Jerusalem.
The civilian police force of Israel in conjunction with the Palestinian authority are investigating the matter after it was condemned by both the Israeli PM and the Palestinian Authority Prime Minister.
There is no need for the pointless loss of life that another intifada would bring.

I have not watched TV for over a year and this is based on UK Radio and newspaper (Guardian 24/01/11) coverage.
Why the peace in the Middle East can and should continue.
1) The Palestinian authority prime minister has advocated the biggest yerusalem in Jewish history. This is an act of statesmanship from his perspective if the two sides do not want an international peace presence that could bring troops that with the best of intentions couldn’t keep the peace or have international legal guidelines and rules of engagement that are watertight.
2) The Israelis accepting the praise of Har Homar and as a gesture of peace being prepared to offer that as settlements, perhaps for allowing the reconnection of Jerusalem and Bethlehem (important for Christians).In short both sides at that time are already really close to an agreement that could work. The new Israeli government needs to embrace these terms if it is not prepared to offer a Tri city area of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ramallah under joint jurisdiction with both states sovereign legislatures sitting in there respective parliament buildings and international observer forces aiding that. Such orders are:Swiss GuardKnights TemplarOrder of St John which heals with a hospital in Jerusalem and declares itself an observer at the UN.Red Cross / Crescent movement that operate across the world with similar obejectives.But in operational decisions on day to day matters should defer to properly drawn up rules of engagement for the legal authority of the world, The United Nations as successor to the League of Nations that granted the United Kingdom the international mandate after world war 1. Other NGOs that I know of that aid this process are the Disasters Emergency Ctte and UNESCO / UNICEF. The killing of pilgrims is as evil as the killing of residents in a place of pilgrimage as much as at any time which is one reason why no people has ever managed to hold onto it. That is why Islamic extremism is wrong as much as the Holocaust was and moderation and toleration between faiths is what is required. If its allowed a special ctte of the UN would be required to deliver this constitution and rules of engagement voted on at the UN and agreed by referendum of their states respective populations.In the EU there is a legal principle that if a house or road has to be rebuilt out of damage or for infrastructure reasons, the owners are compensated. This may sound statist but to fail to prevent another intifada from outside interests such as Al Queada by any state or church or faith or sect for to quote from the Northern Irish peace process 'strategic or selfish reasons' would be and I’m gonna be absolutely candid, pure evil.
This is especially the case if Iran, Israel, India and Pakistan don’t disarm their nukes along with the rest of the world as all are now trying to develop peaceful civilian fuel in geologically safe areas.To conclude Churchill had a saying that democracy was the least worst of all the systems. If the new Israeli government doesn’t learn from this disclosed information and works with Mr Abbas, would Hamas win ground democratically.
Those with the knowledge as to whether they are prepared to renounce or amend their founding charter that promises to wipe Israel from the map had better make an assessment that reading one article in the press I cannot. It is not a crime to say I don’t know I’ll have to check if it stops another intifada. Lets remember that Northern Ireland saw both sides commit to exclusively peaceful means and elections and referenda. I challenge Hamas to do the same and the Arab world to aid peaceful purchase of any settlements in Palestine should a two state solution require that and the government of Israel to do the same for any settlements outside of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ramallah or within Israels pre 1967 boundaries should the two sides want to be neighbours across a border rather than next door. That would be better than another Kosovo and could aid dialogue and defeat Al Queada.
