Sad but true, it may sound harsh as fuck but in the long run it would have caused far less problems imo

I'm from Northern Ireland so i can relate completely to the whole situation in Israel. I'll tell you this much, once their are two sides that have had the kind of conflict that there has been in Israel there can NEVER EVER be peace in the region EVER. The ONLY solution is for one of them to leave or be killed.
No amount of wishful thinking is going to change this sadly, after this kind of conflict there is so much pure hate on both sides that its not possible for peace to happen. Even if the vast majority (on both sides) want peace badly there is always going to be that minority that will try and fuck it up in any way they can !
How do you attempt to reason with a man who has had his entire family murdered by someone ? how can you expect a man to forgive the people who murdered his family and move on with his life ? Violence breeds violence, hate breeds hate, this is human nature and sadly we need to accept it.

I doubt you would have that view if it was your land and your home that had been taken away from you dude.
