There are some who view Jews as being immigrants from other countries such as Germany, the United States, etc. and fundamentally interlopers and not tied to the land.

There are also some who view Palestinians as really Syrians or Jordanians and also interlopers - and thus not tied to the land.

IMHO, they both are wrong. This is a land of two peoples - the question is how does it occur in a peaceful manner for both people?

L-

occurred in 2000 at Camp David. President Clinton offered up to Israel, control of the Temple Mount, control of East Jerusalem (within the parameters of Jerusalem being an international city), and swapouts in the West Bank. Arafat agreed. PM Barack made a cowardly and fateful rejection.

They thought they could just 'contain' the Palestinian 'problem', but two decades later, more than 20% of the population is now Arab, and GEE, they identify with the Palestinians, along with most of the rest of the non-fascist planet, including a rising number of younger generations of Americans.

Both sides have over-played their hands multiple times. Typically when one leader starts thinking in terms of not what's best for their country, but in terms of what makes them look strongest politically. Ie, instead of being flexible, chose ideology instead.
