    Ok, but then where does this lead us? Are the jews more wrong than the muslims in trying to kill the other one? Is anyone supporting either side more wrong than the other? Us on the sidelines can condemn the cruelty but at the core there’s no clear cut right and wrong like when Native Americans were wiped out by colonists…

    In a better world maybe the UN would have enforced the partitition and after several generations shit would have cooled down. But that’s something that was impossible in '48

      I hope you aren’t really asking me that lol. I have no idea. Apart from suggesting they should all just love each other and shake hands I don’t know what else could work.

      But historically I think there is no example where a division of a country has worked out. Korea, Vietnam, Germany,… It was always a disaster.

      And how would you even fairly split Jerusalem, for example?

        Chechoslowakia?

        Jerusalem was not to be split in the UN plan, but given a special status
