It has been a tragic avalanche of violence unfolding. Yet if we point to the start of the avalanche many will say; but what about further down?

I acknowledge the rights of jews and palestinians to live safe from harm, and this probably requires two separate regions and jurisdictions.

The U.N. partitioning of land after WW2 caused deep enmities that are hard to solve. In Turkey, the Kurds ended up without a Kurdistan, which would have included small parts of Iran, Iraq and Syria, iirc.

Historically Judea was renamed Palestine under the Roman occupation. For some reason the left have insisted that the people who lived in Judea before the Roman occupation are new occupants. I acknowledge that the history is complex, but the Hamas sloganeering that jews should be removed from the river to the sea is deeply troubling. That's not an acceptable outcome.
