why has israel been able to keep all the land for itself all these years, if all along it was supposed to be a split?
it's a depressing subject. there are no simple out's.

national conflicts are hard to resolve. ethnic conflicts even harder. and religious conflicts impossible. when the model is two states negotiating there's still some hope. but there are those on both sides that benefit by pushing the conflict into a broader arab vs. jew ethnic divide or a jew vs. muslim holy war.

i don't blame anyone for avoiding the subject. i only commented because i had just see the movie and remembered you had posted earlier.

yeah, not easy at all. it's a colossal mess. it's going to take some people who are absolutely devoted to coming up with a solution-and even then you'll have people on both sides unhappy.
