Gustave > Jewish humor....

Only no-one is laughing.

>>The two sides talk past each other and people die. They construct their own versions of history and reality in order to avoid the terrible conclusion that the only possible reality of the region is a shared one.

Elon speaks of Palestinians becoming part of Jordan; never mind what Jordan or the Palestinians think. Palestinians in refugee camps nurse a sense of victimization, going back to 1948, the better to incite murderous revenge.

Never mind the fact that history does not stand still and to try to make it do so is an exercise in futility. Progress and hope itself depend on looking forward, not back.....<<

From what one has seen over the centuries, all this Biblical stuff is indeed an exercise in fantasy and futility -- besides the actual misery it has brought -- and still brings. And what is the worst is that no-one applies the lessons of their religion to solving the problems at hand. Indeed, I find it incredible that in this supposed age of Enlightenment, the world, certainly a lot of it, is sinking back into the Dark Ages.

So much for education and "progress".
