Great article and well explained. thank you David I wish more people would understand the complexities of the situation and learn from your article.

Surely it is high time for the world to admit to making a colossal mistake in allowing the formation of Israel smack in the middle of where another group of religious people had been living for centuries.

Surely, give the brutal history of the Israelis and their continuing blockade of Gaza and occupation of the West Bank, it is time to accept that there will never be peace in the region while Israel exists. Surely it is time for another section of land to be set aside where the Israelis can move to that doesn't create friction.

As the U.S. is the major supporter of Israel, it could create another state within its borders called Israel (which would be disarmed) and the whole world could settle down instead of being faced with the constant threat of nuclear war!

The Israelis in America and the American Jews could have a wonderful time together, kind of a Children's Picnic. And I'm sure most the world's nations would support this change!

There, problem solved (wild applause)!

P.S. Of course there would need to be agreements entered into to ensure that U.S.-Israel wouldn't try to create Greater Israel smack in the middle of the U.S. otherwise we'd end up back where we started from.

Jew-hating genie? What Jew-hating genie? I grant you a Zionist-hating genie, morphing in some cases into an Israeli-hating genie, but you have brought that upon yourselves, haven't you, David?
Consider the following from Ze've Jabotinsky's book 'The Iron Wall: We and the Arabs'. This was published in 1923, but holds true today and will hold true tomorrow.
"All well-meaning people, with the exception of those blind from birth, understood long ago the complete impossibility of arriving at a voluntary agreement with the Arabs of Palestine for the transformation of Palestine from an Arab country to a country with a Jewish majority."
Don't you just love that? The transformation of Palestine from an Arab country to a country with a Jewish majority. Sort of puts paid to that nonsense of a land without a people for a people without a land, doesn't it, David?
Or this from the same book - "It matters not what kind of words we use to explain our colonization. Colonization has its own integral and inescapable meaning understood by every Jew and every Arab. Colonization has only one goal. This is in the nature of things. To change that nature is impossible. It has been necessary to carry on colonization against the will of the Palestinian Arabs and the same condition exists now."
Or this - "To the hackneyed reproach that this point of view is unethical, I answer -absolutely untrue. This is our ethic."
There is no Jew-hating genie, nor is anti-Zionism anti-Semitic.
Apples and oranges, David. Apples and oranges.
My source for the quotes from Jabotinsky's book is http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article33226.htm

Somebody, it seems, has yet to break the news to those in power in Israel that they are in an increasingly multi-polar world in which Arab nations in particular and most forward thinking progressive nation simply won’t subscribe to the pro Zionist approach to terrorizing and slaughtering innocent men, women and children in Gaza, no matter the feeble excuses Netanyahu uses to justify his illegal stranglehold on the Palestinian people.

When it comes to the new reality facing Israel, you would think some common sense would prevail, but no, now it’s let’s just build some more settlements and further aggravate the problem some more. Very mature!

Whatever the Zionist’s dreams may be, they will be shaped and constructed by a world that has its eyes fully open to the genocide currently being waged against the Palestinian people and Israel’s reliance on the United States will erode as the US loses more and more power as its global power continues to rapidly wane.

A new reality will soon arrive on the horizon and the Zionists are in for a rude shock.

David must be suffering terribly because of the U.N. vote which showed that Israel, in the eyes of much of the world, is a pariah State.

Yet he plugs along with his endless futile propaganda seemingly undaunted by the increasing unpopularity of his nation. Of course, which is his nation? If he loves and worships Israel so much, why doesn't he live there? He talks the talk but he won't walk the walk.

Of course, David is one of millions of Jews who don't live in Israel, who won't live in Israel. They must have misgivings about the Jewish Nation, just like David obviously does but he never admits it.

Why should anyone take any notice of your Israeli propaganda, David, when you show to the world (and the OLO readership) that you wouldn't choose to live there?

Poor David, still batting away with his nonsense.

1. it was jewish terrorists who evicted 800,000 Palestinians from their land, not the other way around.
2. any jewish people in the West Bank are illegal squatters, something they recognised in June 1967 according to Akiva Eldar and other historians.

Why do OLO continue to peddle this propaganda with no articles from Palestinians to rebut?
