But I believe in realpolitik. We can't very well hold onto the West Bank with such a tiny minority of Jews and continue to have millions of humans residing in political limbo. Everyone deserves to be a citizen of some state.<br /><br />I understand why some Jews get so upset over the use of the words West Bank and Palestine/Palestinian. But if you're so offended by the use of the essentially unchallenged, internationally recognized terminology for a place and people because 2,000 years ago an empire that hasn't existed for 1,500 years defiled our holy place and religion... well, that's the kind of person that will never be able to compromise on a peace agreement. That's why I mocked the above posters. I find them as out of touch with reality as any group has ever been. <br /><br />I believe we should negotiate a peace where Israel retains the Gush, but hands over the rest of the WB. Then Palestine can be formed from Gaza and the WB, with some future plans of a land bridge or corridor connecting the two. Once the state is finalized and in their hands, assuring that they have fresh water access and resources, Israel will no longer have war with them. And if they do want to launch rockets or perpetrate terrorist acts even then, Israel will have the support of the UN, NATO, and any reasonable country to engage in defensive actions.<br /><br />But as long as we have politicians in power that deny the legitimacy of either group (Jews aren't from the Land, Palestinians don't exist and are Egyptian/Jordanian imports), there will never be a compromise.Israeli by Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372641972664155753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-21529936262225618162012-06-21T13:35:07.110+03:002012-06-21T13:35:07.110+03:00Hey

Finally I'll think you'll find that people don't like the word palestine because of its root word (Jews like finding roots in everything, Chumash :P ) When the Bet Hamikdash was destroyed Emperor Hadrian wanted to wipe away any jewish history and desecrate it because of the Bar Kockba revolt so he sacrificed pig on the alter.. murdered thousands and changed the name to Syria Palestinea (not quite sure of the correct spelling) So that word to our ancestors and religious people is quite sour..but its a small price to pay for true peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-70461207427729417642009-12-28T16:56:52.308+02:002009-12-28T16:56:52.308+02:00And who the fuck quotes themselves?

Who is to say that those other than Jews can not live and work and prosper on Jewish land? Without migrant workers, no modernized country would be what it is today.<br /><br />According to this fool, the U.S. should deport all Latinos and close the borders for good, because it is our country and not theirs? Power shifts innumerate times throughout history. If I'm correct, "Americans" as we know them today did not even exist less than half a century ago.<br /><br />Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (or property if you prefer Locke) are unalienable rights that we all deserve.

Don't try to tell me what you think I don't know. You're a racist, and if you think the Arabs don't have a place here, and if you get so worked up by the use of the word "Palestinian," you might want to close your ears eyes and mouth when Palestine is eventually created in the West Bank.

During the years that the Jewish presence in Eretz Israel was restored, a huge Arab population influx transpired as <b>Arab immigrants sought to take advantage of higher wages and economic opportunities that resulted from Jewish settlement in the land.</b> President Roosevelt concluded in 1939 that "Arab immigration into Palestine since 1921 has vastly exceeded the total Jewish immigration during the whole period."<br /><br />There's more but you can look it up yourself.
