I asked her what her "Final Solution" to the Pals was - she really had no answer. I don't think it's much different than Adolph's for her people. She's hopeless.

She seems to say that it is pointless to seek peace. Everybody in the world prefers peace to war in a vacuum. What you never seem to bring up is how to "compromise" on the two sides' primary objectives, which are completely at odds with each other. Israelis want peace, and 75% of them want to live in a Jewish nation called Israel which is a homeland for the Jews. Palestinians want peace, and to live in the same land where present day Israel is located. Palestinians aren't Jewish, so if they live in the land where Israel is located, Israel ceases to be a Jewish nation, it becomes a multi-ethnic nation, composed mainly of Jews and Muslims. Everybody wants peace, but how you going to get peace with diametrically opposed goals like that? If the other side gives up its goal, maybe (who knows?) you'll get peace. If both sides maintain their goal, you're going to have war in pursuit of the respective opposing objectives. Duh! Perhaps you should be asking the two parties why they prefer their goal to peace.
