Hundreds of thousands of Arabs have elected to relocate abroad. They want nothing more than a chance for a normal life. They want to live in an area free of tyranny, injustice, and free from those who have exploited them for generations. They understand that were they to stay, they are condemning their children to a lifetime of poverty, abuse by the so-called Palestinian leadership, and anarchy. They do not want to become full-fledged Israelis, which in the future would require three years of Army service from their boys and girls just like any other Israeli citizen. They certainly do not want to pay the high taxes that other Israelis pay. They want out. We should help them out. After implementation of the five point unilateral peace plan, we should facilitate their emigration by providing a mechanism, such as YeshaHomestead, whereby they can sell their property on the open market, including to Jews and whereby social service agencies, such as Hamotzi, help them process their visa applications, find jobs and housing abroad, and adequately prepare for the migration. In order for the purchase of their property to be economically feasible for investors, tenant farmer programs such as Shomron Farms should be subsidized.
Israeli Law has the equivalent of a homestead act granting land to anyone who develops it.

According to the current law, a Jordanian law unchanged from Ottoman law, one house is permitted on each agricultural area provided the farm is more than 5 dunam. Further, a homestead can be recorded as full ownership after 10 years.

While implementing this plan will upset a handful of demagogues that corruptly abused their position of power, it is in the best interest of the so-called Palestinian people. Rather than remaining locked into an armed struggle that they can never win and rather than falling victim to fanatical, corrupt self-rule, this is the best accommodation they can hope to achieve.
In the early 20th century their families moved to what is now Israel in the hopes of a better future for themselves. In the new Jewish state there were jobs aplenty, education for their children and the promise of a modern democracy. Instead they were turned into a scapegoat for the entire Arab world, forced into the role of oppressed refugees by their own crooked leadership, contained in poverty, and exploited by the western anti-Semitic media. This Plan is their chance for freedom.
While this plan may make it temporally palatable for them to remain as permanent residents, intimately they will find greener pastures elsewhere.
This plan is not only practical, but is a moral imperative.
Israel has the prerogative to act unilaterally to provide resolution that ultimately serves the needs of both peoples. This plan is economically feasible, advances the economic and social development of both peoples.
