We can wring out history, each seeking to justify the actions of the team we side on, but that is a completely fruitless activity.
The world belongs to the living.
At best history describes events, it can't really justify them.
Until the people living in and around Israel/Palestine TODAY find their own solution no solution is possible.
That modern Israel is a colony created by Europeans for Europeans is no less true than that the USA is a colony created by Europeans.
That Israelis today are natives of modern Israel and have every right to exist there, is also unquestionable true.
That Palestinians got screwed in order for the modern state of Isreal, and that many of them are denied their right to live there with full rights as citizens of Isreal is also unquestionable true.
Some here believe that a single state solution is possible.
It isn't.
Most Zionists demand a Jewish dominated homeland (hence no right of return offered to Palestinians), and most Palestinians demand a Jewish-free homeland (thus no peace is possible)
I also happen to think that the two state solution will fail.
The so called state given to the Palestinians isn't a viable piece of land with continuous borders capable of supporting all the Palestinians.
