"In every instance, it was stymied, not by Israelis but by Arabs, including the Palestinians themselves. If you do not understand this history, you should not be engaged in this discussion until you do. If you have not asked yourself why the Arab world prefers a festering, enraged, hopeless and stateless Palestinians people rather than a peaceful, self-determined Palestinian people, you have not thought deeply enough on this topic."
This is the truth no one wants to hear. The Palestinians are just a pawn in the game the Arab world plays against Israel. This conflict is not about the land, which by the way Israel has offered to give back parts of several times, this conflict is about the Jews having a right to exist at all. Payback by proxy is what the Palestinian people are for the Arab world surrounding Israel. And that is the truth. It is not about Israel's right to exist in its ancestral land but about the right of Jews to exist at all. And might I add that the Mufti of Jerusalem hosted Hitler and discussed 'The final solution' because the Jews were coming back to their land and they discussed that problem.
