One of the best summaries I’ve read on this conflict. I shared with my network on LinkedIn.

Correct. The belief they want a state is nothing short of a clinical delusion.

This is a brilliant explanation of the the situation. If there ever was a two state solution there would be out and out war. The Palestinians will never be happy with what they get! This can simply NEVER happen!

You explained it well. They don't want a two-state solution. They want all Jews dead.

Yet , they sit on land that is NOT THEIRS. It's really pointless to discuss the history of the Land because they don't care, they just want all Israel destroyed. And the western news media is part of the problem as they continue to portray Israel as a demon. I ask people if their family was kidnapped, raped and killed, would you send food and other humanitarian relief to the people who did it? No, of course not. Yet, Israel continues to do the right thing bringing in 100's of tons of food, etc to the displaced Gazans.

Just so you know, I am a Christian. I am not Jewish, so what I say is not prejudiced by my family lineage. But I do support organizations that are pro-Israel. God's clock is ticking and several of His prophecies concerning Israel have occurred in our lifetime. It may yet get darker, but the best is yet to come!

The contemporary countries in the Middle East are rather randomly carved out of the remains of the Ottoman empire, except Israel.

So I agree, how could there be a longing for a nation wich never existed?

The longing is for living in security and dignity, a sentiment all inhabitants of the territory no doubt have in common.

Unfortunately, the past 2 decennia have seen to few initiatives to accommodate this feeling and this stagnancy should be adressed by a bold Israeli plan, as mr. Gantz points out.
