are you for real? Israel doesn't even want Palestine to become an independent state. When Obama started talking about a Palestinian state they got an attitude.
What decade are you in? Bush was the first president to state publically the US supported a 2-state solution, and that was like 6 years ago...
And what does Israel have to forgive? The conflict isn't just the Arabs fault. It's their fault as well. Just look at Jenin and Gaza.
"Jenin"? Do you mean the faked "massacre" that went from "thousands dead" to 47 over night?
This conflict is primarily the arabs' fault, you just don't have the character to admit it.
to be honest i think as far as Jerusalem goes. That city needs to be a UN controlled city and neither sides should have control of it. Make it a free city.
When the arabs controlled it, jews were not allowed in. When israel took over in 1967, everyone was allowed in...see the difference?
And yeah I agree the Palestinians should comprise more. But it has to be from both sided.
I guarantee you that israel would walk away from the West Bank TODAY if it meant an end to the terrorism and attacks - but they know it wouldn't be. Gaza and Lebanon was the perfect proof that this conflict has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with land...
See this link for some further history, and how the arabs have been murdering jews there long before israel existed:
