You live in an apartheid and you are on the side of the oppressor. Your "government" occupies a country that has millions of Muslims with no rights, no vote in your government, and who face a constant threat of extreme violence.
Read up about the South African apartheid, the whites there talked exactly like you. They thought they were on the side of God and that their apartheid would last forever too.
I do not suggest relocating all the Israeli Jews to Germany, I simply offered that as a counterpoint to Smokey's suggestion of the forced relocation of all Palestinians. Forced relocation is a horrible war crime. I support one state with equal rights for Jews and Muslims, equal votes, equal rights. Separation of religion and state. End of segregation.
It's called integration, as opposed to the current system of occupation and domination. Of course it would not come easily, especially with the far right extremists who currently dominate the political landscape on both sides. However it's the only reasonable solution, and the only chance for people without complete forced relocation or genocide. While this situation is unique, many nations have faced comparable problems and often after long struggles, calmer heads have prevailed and they've been able to come to peaceful solutions that brought about equality for all races and religions.
