It is not the role of the Centre to provide blame or judgement.  Ideas must be new, creative and constructive.

Ideas submitted by Foundation Members of the Centre will automatically be published provided they are new, creative and constructive.

Ideas submitted by others will be selected on the basis of their apparent merit and modifications may be suggested.

All ideas will be published without attribution.  An idea must stand on its own merit not by reason of the person who suggested the idea. In the case of Foundation Members the idea will be noted as coming from a Foundation Member.

It is not the intention of the Centre to carry out discussion or debate on the merits of specific ideas.

Idea:

The USA should give a grant of USD3 billion a year to the Palestinian Authority.  This is considerably less than the amount given annually to Israel.  The amount is about equal to the budget of the Palestinian Authority.

Every time an Israeli citizen is killed by terrorism then the amount is diminished by USD50 million.

After a period of one year, if terrorist victims have been significantly reduced in number (by fifty per cent or more)  then the same system would be applied to the Israeli grant so that every Palestinian civilian killed would reduce the grant by the same amount.

The amount is tiny in comparison with the cost of conflict and war in the Middle East and may serve to alter the perception that the USA fully supports Israel in all its activities.
