No, I'm not forgetting about that. When Arabs held East Jerusalem, Jews were excluded from going there and worshipping at the Wailing Wall. When Jews got control of East Jerusalem, any Arab who could go to Israel could go there (some Arabs were exiled as terrorists and enemies of Israels). That could have been resolved, IMHO. But what can't be resolved is the continuing flow of disgruntled people in the camps and places like Gaza which is the near equivalent of a camp, and, of course, now the occupied West Bank.

But read some of the history I've posted. It is pretty interesting, albeit tragic, stuff.

"You are forgetting the religious significance to both sides of certain plots of land in this squabble. Why did the Jews go to Palestine instead of Paraguay after WWII?"

It's not too late to choose a Paraguay-type solution. Given that the Israelis are just 6 million and entire population of Jews worldwide is only 14 million, it's really incredible the problems these people cause to world wide stability, peace and the price of oil. Not that the problems are ALL caused by the Israelis, but, "it takes two to tango!"

It would be a massive effort, but I really think the world's interests would be served by relocating Israel to the Falklands. Allowing the creation of Israel in Palestine was a mistake, but it's not too late to fix it.

Let the Pals HAVE Palestine, and rot in it. The Israelis would have a safe place with no land neighbors, and could thrive in peace, without security threats.

Nonsense. You are forgetting the religious significance to both sides of certain plots of land in this squabble. Why did the Jews go to Palestine instead of Paraguay after WWII?

Isn't Paraguay where the nazis went? that might be one reason.
