More on Foreign Policy
Encourage the formation of the Federation of Semitic States (FSS) with Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel, as well as the host capital city for the Federation Institutions. Additionally, a small, yet meaningful, symbolic segment of East Jerusalem and The Old City… under the joint military control of the UN, Israel and Palestine –all wearing special UN-Palestine uniforms and reporting to a UN commander… will be designated as the Inspirational Capital of Palestine (ICP). The ICP will have a Palestine Welcome Center, the HQ of a Palestine National University, a National Cultural Arts Pavilion and Performing Arts Center, and a Religious History Museum (highlighting and educating tourists and future generations about the fascinating history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in Jerusalem).
Defense Talking Points
A practical first step could be requesting that the Vatican loan its facilities adjacent to Herod’s Gate for the temporary office facility of the Inspirational Capital of Palestine…while other new construction and re-purposing of existing structures in the ICP district are planned and completed.
Other Foreign Affairs Talking Points: Honor …by being willing to adopt and apply …some of the “best” socio-economic solutions which each geo-political/philosophical bloc has to offer the entire human population and the planet herself. In this case, “best” solutions are those that an independent council of experts would describe as “most likely to help achieve a world that works for everyone on a restored planet.
Perhaps most significantly, The Palestine Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ie The Palestine State Department), with all rights and privileges of diplomatic immunity, will be located in the ICP district in Jerusalem. All the remaining physical infrastructure and operations center of the Palestinian National Capital and government remain in Ramallah. Thus, Jerusalem becomes a multi-purpose city: it remains the undivided capital of Israel, while becoming the “de facto” cultural, spiritual, and federal capital city of all Semitic member states (imagine a UN-like, FSS HQ building in Jerusalem); while also hosting the Inspirational Capital of Palestine (ICP) in a specified “ICP diplomatic and education district” of East Jerusalem and The Old City.
Support the establishment of formal spheres of influence and alignment by “smaller nations” with either the US/CANADA/MEXICO /CENTRAL AMERICA Bloc, The EU/Northern Africa bloc, The Russia former Soviet Union bloc, and the Indo- China/SE Asia bloc… by choosing their formal “sponsor” nation or bloc; thus spreading out the responsibility for global well-being, environmental maintenance and reclamation, and security. These spheres of influence do not limit engagement by members of other blocks from trading according to international treaties, etc…
The purposes of the Spheres are:
1) to have the larger economies/military blocs help “lift up” the economies and standard of living for their aligned voluntary partners
2) coordinate and accomplish repair, mitigation, long term management of climate change–induced environmental damage, and
3) ensure civil society, constitutional rule of law, and safety/security against extremist threats.
