53. Palestinians did not choose war in 1948.

They were too busy being massacred, expelled, made into refugees from their own homeland. Their villages burned.

Everything since then has been the outcome of that original, unacknowledged, never-rectified sin against them.

A long time ago - when there was still a peace-and-justice seeking "left" in Israel - a solution was possible.

That Israel has not existed for decades and now never will again - barring some miraculous rehumanization of "the Arabs" and a lightning strike from God reawakening the throttled conscience of Israelis.
