I have never understood why it is acceptable to throw Jews out of a place just because it is to become part of Pal territory, very Nazi like don't you think? I mean there are one and a half mill Arabs in Israel flourishing better than in all the neighbouring states…so why not a few Jews in the territories…when the Jews started coming back to the area..oh so long ago….guess what…? so did a lot of Arabs…why? because they knew that the Jews would bring them good business and success…We didn't rearrange the neighbourhood, the British did and now they are getting their just deserts because there are whole areas in London where a Brit dare not enter…Guess why?

Are we going to return the West Bank to a Palestinian Jordan ? Last time we tried to rearrange the neighborhood was in 1982 in Lebanon and we all remember how that ended. History ? How far would you care to go back ? Pick a date any date..

You see, because Israelis aren't going anywhere, then Gazans aren't going anywhere either. Neither are West Bank Palestinians, Bedouin, Druze Arabs, Coptic Christians and everyone else. There is no record in all of its history where this extremely static state of affairs has managed to move outside the confines of its own, largely self-imposed boundaries.

It's been 65 years and no progress worthy of real note has ever been found in any one of them. Essentially, the situation is in 'stuck' mode and there seems to be no way known to Man of unsticking it.

Not, that is, unless the situation can be made to unstick itself, thereby allowing it some freedom of movement and the ability to emerge from its cramped surroundings with something to show for all its time spent in apparent suspended animation.

Let's all go somewhere; even if that somewhere is a place none of us have ever been before.

It's a statement of fact, a sad fact but a fact nevertheless. I love my country fervently, have served it well and for more than 21 years and I fail to see any problem with such a statement.
