Rosa said the following to me on another thread.
"You can't even pretend to do that if you have kicked all the Palestinians off their land, and are systematically oppressing the rest.
[And I say that as Jew, myself.]"
I decided to treat the matter here as it is a political issue.
Consider if you will the map on the following link. It is a map of the UN Partition Plan of 1947:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_UN_Partition_Plan
As you can see, the plan called for two mutually trisecting countries.
It would be impossible for any two countries to live within borders like that, even if they were on the best of terms. Even countries as similar as Spain and Portugal could not pull it off.
To expect the Jews and the Arabs to live in peace thus is an absolute absurdity.
The UN created the situation in order to foment war in this country in order to:
1) Keep the Jews and Arabs alike busy with war so that they would not be able to actualize their respective potentials or collaborate in order to build up the area (the Jews and the Arabs have a history of collaborating beautifully and Europe was terrified of this occurring again).
2) To keep arms production and sales going.
3) To keep the drug traffic in this area at full blast. War causes misery and poverty. Misery and poverty keep the drug business going.
For an in-depth treatment of the entire matter, see my essay "An Archist Explains Why Israel Is Not An Imperialist State", which can be found on the following URL:

If you don't bother reading it; don't bother criticizing the thesis. I can't be bothered with out-of-hand rejection of theses without giving them due consideration.
Don't assume that you already know everything there is to know about the Israeli-Palestinian situation.
And if you're sitting in America on Native land and don't plan to vacate anytime soon because that issue has been "resolved" (that is most of the Natives were killed and the rest are languishing in horrendous poverty on some rez so there's no danger of them recalling the land you're sitting on anymore), then don't even bother to try to pontificate to me.
