At the time of the first Zionist Congress (1897) Palestine was a barren country with less than a million inhabitants, Muslims, Jews, Christians, but with a Jewish majority in Jerusalem. During the "Palestine Mandate" with as mandatory the British (remember that a Mandate is a TRUST) their policy will be a colonial one, limiting Jewish immigration (the White Papers, in violation of Art. 6 of the Mandate) while hundreds of thousands of Muslim migrants from neighboring countries will enter Palestine through none-guarded borders, seeking a better life in a country becoming developed by the Jews. Never forget that this happened mainly when the British imposed a maritime blockade to prevent Jews fleeing Europe during WW II, to reach Palestinian shores, sending them back to their death, or in the best case, internment in camps. An ally of HITLER wouldn't have done better!!! In the early sixties, thanks to the KGB, a Palestinian Nation was created! In an Interview given by the late Yitzhak Rabin to the Belgian TV, he said: "... in a solution, peace solution between Jordan and Israel, I believe that the Palestinian issue can be solved in a way that the Palestinians will find their right to express their special identity, but, it will never be though the so-called PLO or through a third independent state. Because a third independent sate between Jordan and Israel cannot solve the Palestinian issue and will serve as a time bomb against Jordan as well as against Israel".

You are correct Mark. The League of Nations mentionned in its "Mandate for Palestine": "it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine"... Indeed civil and religious rights, BUT NOT POLICAL RIGHTS! Polical rights were given to Iraq and Syria-Lebanon by League.

Peace is so dull and unexciting while terrorism is so rewarding. Resistance(not quite sure to what exactly) and martyrdom are full of thrills and they set the adrenaline rushing. Peace sucks and is only for suckers, terrorism brings in the millions from UNRWA, Qatar and the stupid European Lefties.

If we are ever going to achieve peace, and a state of our own, no matter how truncated it will be.

Palestinian leaders can't or won't go to the people without a right of return. Taking Jerusalem and the West Bank for a lying declaration of ceasing aggression is just a first step at best. We see no change in their approach. It's the same Abbas and Erekat offering the same thing and saying they will be killed if they offer more which is nothing.

What a joke.

Jews: don't let these stupid and rabid fanatics destroy the Third Temple! Time is not working in our favor and America will not be around for ever!.

Israel can't make peace with people that want to kill them and drive them out of their historic homeland. simple. one state, two, sounds great on paper. consider Arab states created by others. and no Jews so they kill each other. people escape and want to export 'paradise on earth' to West. beware. great thinkers should not meddle. be careful what you wish for.
