It kinda disgusts me how divided this whole issue is. I do hold immense sympathy for the Palestinians, but some pro-Palestine individuals are in the extreme, thinking that it's a good idea to kick out all of the Jews living in the region, justifying it by saying, "WELL, IT'S THE PALESTINIANS' HOMELAND." No shit, but take a second to think about this. Most of the Jews that were alive when Palestine was transformed in to Israel are now dead, and the vast majority of the Jews currently living in Israel/Palestine were born and raised there. It's their homeland too, damnit. In other words, Israel shouldn't have existed in the first place, but now it does, and a solution to the conflict must accomodate that.
Saying that the Palestinians should have the land is just as incorrect as saying that the Israelis should have the land. The only correct hope is to hope that both can have the land, and prosper in it as brethren. With that said, the first step to solving the problem is to hope that the Israeli government will eventually stop treating the Palestinians as dogs and let them live and participate in the government as equal citizens. I don't support any solution that involves a radical deconstruction of the government of Israel, however; that will only create more problems than it will solve.

Crump in history when 2 radically different forces desperately seek out something they desire for themselves, 98% of the time theres going to be a shitstorm regardless of what anyone does, One side just needs to be annihilated by another so the rest of us can move on to dealing with our own problems. Not everything can be ended in handshakes and treaties like every democracy in the world thinks it can. Look at when the Americans bombed japan, that didn't end in a handshake nor a treaty, that ended in a massive explosion and gigantic death toll, we didn't give a damn. Now look at our relationship with Japan now, they're one of our hugest marketers bringing us everything from basic furniture to pornongraphy .
Sure we'd totally like to see this end peacefully but with a problem thats been lasting this long it's ridiculous trying to solve it using democracy I mean come the *crag* on, thats like trying to build a treehouse with plastic tools. Sometimes death is the assbeating that a country needs to put it's bullshit in line.
