Well, Israel didn't secede and create their own nation. Someone suckered the UN into creating it. The UN voted to partition Palestine, but all the local nations voted no. When the UN had just been formed a few years earlier and the Bolivians vote "Yes" on partition but the Saudis, Yemenis, Jordanians, Iranians (and I'm not sure exactly which ME nations were already formed then, but all of them which were in the UN said "No") said "No", it seems the Jordanian's (next door) vote should matter more than the Bolivian's (different continent). Anyway.....Israel did pretty much secede in its war of independence, partitioning itself against the wishes of the Pals, but with the blessing of the UN, and UN recognition I think in 1949, a year or so after their war of independence. The Israelis definitely booted out a few non-Jews who had lived there for years, and seceded from......errr, an abandoned British mandate? :-) And who would you like to control Jerusalem? The UN is non-existent. The people of Pasreal. In 1948 the UN's plan created Israel and Palestine. Arabs rejected the plan and killed 1.5% of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem and expelled the rest of the Jewish population. Jordan took control of Jerusalem and would not let any Jews visit. Under Israeli control, Jerusalem has been open unless Arab bombers disrupted the area. This can all remain. My solution just grants Pal refugees citizenship and annexes the disputed/occupied territories. Jerusalem can still be "open" as you put it. No, Arabs must step up to the plate first and bring under control their elements who they support in their acts of killing infidels. Present day Arabs in Israel have accomplished this, right? I'm just advocating an increase in their number, and a change of the name of Israel to something non-religious. I believe a Jew in any Arab land is in more danger than a Muslim in Israel. And that isn't the fault of Israel. Pasreal is not an Arab land, it's shared land. Just as Lebanon is not Islamic. Both should be multi-cultural and multi-religious. Land should not be religious anywhere.
