The map on the left is the UN agreed mandated partition of Palestine in 1947
The map on the right is the Israeli occupation of Palestine in 2010
Recently the Israeli government announced that they would be knocking
down further buildings in Jerusalem to make way for new Israeli structures and housing
Recently further new settlements were created on Palestinian land and more are planned
Funny way to encourage peace with the neighbours
And what?
A majority of Israelis and Palestinians have repeatedly said that they want a resolution to the impasse
The basis of such is the 1947 mandated partition
Extremists on both sides do not want a settlement
Fanatics want to continue their self serving interests
As in Northern Ireland probably only outsiders will be able to knock sense into the leaders
Will they?
Why no
Because no one is prepared to stand up to the various lobbies and interest groups
And when this happens impasse will be broken by some unexpected event
And as usual when such occurs many innocent people will be hurt
History could teach us so much if only we wanted to learn
Sadly this is not the case
The map above says clearly that the current situation is unjust
Injustice leads to further violence
And no it won't go away
When that unexpected event finally occurs it will probably involve us all as well

No, what's stupid is the idea that a nation gets to keep all land gained in war, by that reasoning Europe, a large part of the Far East, and a not inconsiderable chunk of Africa (plus technically speaking I suppose, *all* the worlds oceans and seas ;-) ) would have been split between Russia UK and USA at the end of WW2 and would remain to this day their territories
It is demonstrably an act of complete foolhardiness and folly to present such a premise as a serious suggestion for a solution to the Israel/Palestine situation
Hasn't all this gone on for quite long enough ?
Time then to give back what was taken, set clearly defined borders, and to live life as civilised human beings not to continue to murder and kill in the name of "self defence" when the figures show clearly who the REAL victims are
146 Israeli children killed and 1452 Palestinian children, that's since 2000!
Every single one of those children were loved and cherished by thier families
For the sake of thier children (if nothing else) the Israelis and Palestinians have to make peace, instead of continuing this murder backed up by nothing but imaginary friends, tribal bickering and big fucking guns
This map demonstrates clearly that the longer peace is delayed the more ethnic cleansing takes place ...

If the Warsaw ghetto was wrong, (and it clearly was) then so is the Gaza ghetto (and it clearly is)
HTH Insight ;-)
