2020: Survivors Rebooted (IC)

[Krugeristan]

Damascus, Syria

April 17th was Independence Day for the Syrian Arab Republic. A massive military parade choked the streets of Damascus, and drew thousands of people to the center of the city, while millions more watched on television. President Assad stood, watching the soldiers and tanks roll by, wearing a tan officer's uniform, decorated in several medals. He was aware that some of the medals were mere awards by foreign countries for whatever bogus reason they gave him, but he was young and reckless when they were given to him, and he took them without much question.

In reality, he was bored to death. He had seen this same parade since he was little. It was incredibly painful to hide his feelings from the other members of his government. Only an eye trained in body language could tell he was bored and restless.

Losing track of time, he glanced at his watch, and sighed upon realizing he should've had lunch over an hour ago. He glanced around, trying to find a way out, or an excuse to leave. Forget it. I'm the president. I should leave whenever I want to. He then folded his arms over his chest and frowned. No, that's disrespectful. There're veterans here. I need to pay respects to them.

His mind began to wander. After the war ended, there wasn't much to do. Just try to repair relations with surrounding countries. He felt like he was failing at that, especially with Israel. He personally wanted to make relations between the Jewish State and Syria better. The fighting, and the Golan Heights debacle, was getting on his nerves. Maybe if he gave them the Heights as a gift, it'd show the Israelis he was willing to work with them.

That's going to take a lot of thinking. What if Netanyahu thinks I'm playing with him? Assad took another breath, knowing how smart and how dangerous the Israeli prime minister was. Easily, he could be pinned to the floor with every single spinal disc dislocated if he made Netanyahu mad. The thought made Assad cringe, but it didn't leave him, even after shaking the hands of Syrian veterans and active duty soldiers. He went back to his office in Damascus, his thoughts still wandering.

Israel Officially Orders a Mass Exodus of all Palestinian Arabs to the neighboring countries of Israel

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - Today on July 19, 2020, the Israeli Parliament has passed a bill ordering all Palestinian Arabs to leave the Israeli occupied lands of the West Bank, Golan Heights, and the Gaza Strip to make way for Jewish settlements one year after the war with the United Nations ended. The exodus has been ordered to begin today by the orders of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and official parliamentary bill will take effect next week, but Netanyahu is determined to force the Palestinians to leave. There have been concerns that the exodus could spark a war with Syria and neighboring Arab states, but Netanyahu has assured the Israeli populace that no Arab nation would dare come in the way of Israeli affairs.

Assad was still asleep when one of his aides nervously opened the bedroom door.

"Sir? Sir, wake up! It's an emergency!"

Assad lifted his head. "Mph . . . Wha . . . ?"

"Israel is pushing out all the Arabs in the Golan Heights."

Assad sat up, turning his lamp on. "Well, are we able to vet them?"

"I'm not sure, sir. They're pouring into Syria by the hundreds. There's no way we can take care of them all!"

"Relax, relax. I'm sure we can figure something out. I can set up refugee camps outside Damascus, and I'm going to have a nice chat with Netanyahu." After his aide left, Assad got out of bed, and glanced at the clock. Four in the damn morning? Works well for me. He sat at his desk, writing out a letter.

To: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Your move of removing Arab civilians from your occupied territories is extremely sudden, and I think you should've sat down with other leaders before dumping refugees on them. At the time, Syria has no way of holding or vetting this amount of refugees we're getting from the Golan Heights.

The last thing I want is to plunge Syria into another war. I'm sure we can work this out as diplomats and human beings.

Back from a hunting trip, president Overton steps out his bronze-colored bulletproof Mercedes-Benz G63 6x6 and walks into the whitehouse. After a quick shower, Overton changes into a bullet-resistant suit, his kevlar boots with steel toe and steel shank protection, and a pair of weighted-knuckle gloves.

Having already been instantly informed of the situation in Judea and Samaria over the phone, Overton decides that resolving the conflict peacefully would be in his best interest, since was with Israel would cause mass instability in Syria, which could lead back a 2014-esque situation.

Knowing that Syria is the most likely to go to war with Israel, since Israel is expelling Arabs from what Syria considers to be it's territory, Overton writes to Assad and Netanyahu:

To: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 9 Smolenskin street, Jerusalem, Israel From: President Elsdon Overton, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wsahington DC, United States of America I would like to invite you to Washington DC for a state dinner to discuss the situation in the Golan heights and Judea & Samaria with myself and president Bashar al-Assad, who's nation is being flooded with refugees.

To: President Bashar al-Assad, Qasr ash-Shaab, Damascus, Syria From: President Elsdon Overton, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wsahington DC, United States of America I would like to invite you to Washington DC for a state dinner to discuss the situation in the Golan heights and Judea & Samaria with myself and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as your country is one of those most affected by the refugee crisis.

If successful in resolving the situation, this would be the second US state dinner to result in peace between Israel and an Arab nation, after Gerald Ford's state dinner with PM Yitzhak Rabin and king Hussein of Jordan.

Assad was still trying to catch up on sleep when the same aide barged into his room with another letter.

"Sir? You have a message from America."

Sitting up, Assad glared at the aide. I'm going to need to put a lock and a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door. He took the message, and wrote a reply while sitting in bed.

Re: President Overton,

I accept your invitation to a state dinner regarding Israel's dumping of refugees on Syria. Has a date been set or can I show up as soon as possible?

-President Assad

[Crockerland]

Not wanting to waste the time it takes to send mail, Overton just calls both Netanyahu and Assad on the phone (not at the same time) and asks them to arrive by around 5 PM. As Syria and Israel are both about 7 hours ahead of the US, and it would take about 10 hours to fly from either to the US, it would be best if they left around 2 PM today (or tomorrow, if it's past noon).

[Krugeristan]

Damascus Airport, Syria

Assad had a nasty urge to rush whenever he had to go somewhere halfway around the world for a meeting or dinner or something like that. Having not eaten breakfast or lunch the whole day since receiving the invitation from President Overton, he grabbed a piece of bread before running to the airport, going over bits of advice in his head.

Don't get panicky, speak clearly, you're trying to make peace, not war. Be gracious, don't take more than what is given to you in regards to food, and ask before using a bathroom; it's rude to get up without permission. Halfway up the steps of the plane with the bread still in his mouth, Assad opened a small time zone booklet. I'm seven hours ahead of D.C., which means if it's three now . . . it's ten at night over there, and if it's a ten-hour flight, I should arrive at . . . eight tomorrow morning . . . I'm going to be exhausted and severely jetlagged. He shrugged. I'll just try and sleep on the plane. Taking his seat in the jet, he decided to call Overton (or whoever picked up in D.C.) that he'd be arriving in the morning.

[Jolthig]

I would be willing discuss the refugee crisis with Bashar al-Assad and President Overton on the refugee crisis in the Golan Heights. I shall be in Washington D.C. in 8 hours. I hope these negotiations go well. And I hope the results of the negotiations go well.

And so Benjamin Netanyahu took a private jet to Washington D.C.

[Crockerland]

8 AM, 19th of April, Washington DC, USA

After Assad and Netanyahu have both arrived, two 21-gun salutes are fired off in honor of their visit, followed by the playing of the Israeli, Syrian and American anthems. Overton, wearing a midnight blue suit appropriate for a state dinner, greets the heads of state and shakes their hands, before the three are transported back to the white house by motorcade. Given their early arrive, the state dinner has been rescheduled to a state lunch.

The three leaders sit down at the state dining room, refurbished to resemble the 1902 renovation by president Roosevelt.

"If it's halal and kosher, we were planning on serving a simple meal of smoked salmon, bread, and some lettuce," Overton says, not wanting to cause an embarrassment by ordering some extravagant meal which turns out to be Haram or non-kosher "But I think the issue at hand is more important than what's for dinner," Overton says, as their food is brought out.

"President Assad, could you explain what exactly the problem you're having as a result of the situation in Judea and Samaria is?" requests Overton.

But you've humbled yourself by serving us something as humble as salmon, bread, and lettuce, so, again, don't you worry about it." He adjusted himself and looked Overton in the eye. "If Syria had the resources, the people, and the time, we could take in all these refugees, but, unfortunately, we do not, and I have a feeling every Arab country around Israel is going to have many of the same issues, however, Syria is having it worse off right now, mainly because we're still trying to recover from the war. We want to modernize, we want to have our own place on the world stage, and in a positive light. I'm not who the previous leaders of the West thought I was, and I want to be someone another country can go to for help, but we can't without resources. We simply haven't got the resources needed to vet all these refugees. Right now, I have over two thousand Palestinian refugees sitting in camps outside Damascus, and I'm torn; Syrian taxpayers are not going to want their money going toward strange people who could possibly be terrorists, and the last thing I want is another civil war, but, people in supposed humanitarian organizations are going to make it look like I am leaving refugees to die on purpose. I don't want that image; I want Syria to be open to people."

"Well, Assad" Overton begins "I don't think anyone wants their country to be flooded by Palestinians, they were kicked out of Jordan after they started an insurgency against the monarchy, Lebanon after they started a civil war, Kuwait after they sided with Saddam Hussein, and now Israel after 80 years of violence; The Palestinians are very problematic to every nation, but they're not just going to disappear.

The Palestinians have to go somewhere, so if not Syria, then where do you suggest they go?"

The Palestinians have to go somewhere, so if not Syria, then where do you suggest they go?"

"I think that question raises a lot of very painful and hard-to-say answers, because if no other country wants them, what exactly is there to do? I know there are terrorists among these refugees, and I know there are good people among these refugees. I think we should first think about who is most vulnerable, and that would be women and children. Syria isn't that foreign to them, and they can easily assimilate into society. However, Palestinian men are more likely to be terrorists, and they're more likely to use women and children as suicide bombers or human shields. I can take in women and children, but where do we put the men? They're just going to go back to where they came from and start killing people again. Basically either you accept all or none of them, and if Syria--an Arab country where they can easily get along in society--can't take them, who can? Like you said, Jordan, Lebanon, and Kuwait can't take them. Egypt has very strong anti-terror policies; they won't take them. Saudi Arabia has rejected refugees in the past, so I don't think they'll accept them now."

Assad took a moment to breathe before continuing. "We certainly can't dump them on another country. Remember the refugee crisis in Europe? Disaster. I can tell you those weren't real Syrians. Syrians who wanted to end the war stayed and fought against ISIS. The people who were in Europe were animals. Most Western media probably didn't tell you that these refugees had raped hundreds of German women, or that refugees were responsible for those attacks in France and Belgium. I can guarantee the same will happen to America if you let in Palestinians, and I think here is where I offer my solution to the problem: they have nowhere to go, so, it's time to give them a state."

[Jolthig]

"Why do you think we don't want these people either?" Said Benjamim. "Because they keep launching terrorist attacks against pur government and people! No one here in Israel wants their presencw anymore in Jewish sacred lands! You might as well as let those hippie nations of Europe take them because both of us don't want these people in our territories."

Assad looked at Netanyahu. "I'm not going to support sending them where they're going to kill innocent people. I'm not against your country, but I think a solution needs to be reached between you and the Palestinians. I don't agree with the policies of Europe either, but that doesn't mean we dump terrorists on them. That makes both of us look no better than ISIS."

"There is no solution. They get out of Israel. They're the ones who keep car bombing in our cities. And they're the ones who raped a lot of our own women. I don't want their presense in Israel. Israel has been waiting to do this since 1948 and it is about time that we complet eour independence from Arab rule."

I can't deal with them, and I don't want to dump them on someone else's country, not unless I wanted a damn war with them. Something needs to be worked out, right now." He folded his arms over his chest, trying to not appear frustrated. "I want to repair relations with you, but that's really hard when you're dumping refugees on me."

"I'm going to wrestle that shark!" John yelled as he dove into the water at Bondi Beach.

"John, you idiot! Don't do that!" Angela yelled as she stood next to the water in her white bikini, watching John swim toward what appeared to be a shark fin.

"Hey Angie, Steve Irwin will be proud of me, so don't worry!" John yelled as he dove underwater, slamming his fist into the great white shark's head.

Angela simply face palmed, wondering why the Prime Minister of Australia was such an idiot. The two had established the alliance just a few months ago, but even before their political career they were close friends. Back in the "good old days" as John would say, it was just Angela, John, their Japanese friend Mari Kurokawa, and their Russian friend Artyom Zvertoyam. While John and Angela became the leaders of their respective countries, their other two friend joined in the militaries of New Zealand and Australia, and eventually became the bodyguards for their leaders.

"Yknow, I still wonder how he's still alive after all the stupid stuff he has done." Artyom said, standing next to Angela. He was wearing swimming trunks and had his Australian AUG in his hands. His muscular body made all the woman in the vicinity stare. The only exceptions were Mari and Angela.

"Maybe he's just lucky that way." Mari smiled, holding her New Zealand CQB16. She was wearing a blue bikini, which matched her stunning blue eyes. She noticed that once in a while, Artyom would glance at her, looking over her body. Mari wanted to say something, but she just let Artyom stare. If she brought it up now, she would make Artyom feel bad, and that would be... Bad.

"So, Angie, what do you think about the situation in the Middle East?" Artyom asked.

"Well, it's tragic, really. Maybe we could accept some refugees into New Zealand." Angela responded, continuing to watch John repeatedly hit the shark.

"How many?" Mari asked.

"I don't know, 3,000? I'll ask John when he.. Stops doing that."

"Alright. Hey Johnny, leave some for me!" Artyom yelled as he put down his AUG and dove into the water, swimming to John."

"Those two are idiots, and I love it!" Mari yelled, giggling.

Angela smiled. "My statement still stands. Once we get back, I will accept 3,000 refugees from the Middle East into New Zealand. Once we get back to Wellington I want you to send that message to Syria and Israel."

"Alright, Angie!" Mari said, looking at John and Artyom continuously hit the shark.

Assad frowned, and sighed. "I think the West Bank should suffice. I say we let Israel keep Gaza and the Golan Heights, but give the West Bank to the Palestinians. At a later meeting, we can discuss Jerusalem, which I think should be an international zone for both countries."

"Well, considering that the west bank is nearly 22% of Israel's total land area, it's very generous of you to offer a fifth of someone else's country to the Palestinians." Overton says
"And Netanyahu, your sarcastic, unrealistic suggestions aren't helping. If you don't want the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, where should they go?"

Assad frowned, and sighed. "I think the West Bank should suffice. I say we let Israel keep Gaza and the Golan Heights, but give the West Bank to the Palestinians. At a later meeting, we can discuss Jerusalem, which I think should be an international zone for both countries."

"Well, considering that the west bank is nearly 22% of Israel's total land area, it's very generous of you to offer a fifth of someone else's country to the Palestinians." Overton says
