I have a solution for you: why shouldn't we live with Israelis in peace? Why can't we have a Democratic state for all? Israel loses this "historical land" battle, but even if they didn't, does that justify massacre? Palestinians have always advocated a state for all, but Israel never agrees.

@matcha_addict I agree with you. Historically Jews and Arabs that occupied this land are the same people with different religious beliefs. They are all Semites. They should be able to live together.
Globally speaking, the borders of counties are just arbitrarily drawn lines on the map. Lines, drawn by individual people who decided for the masses where they can and cannot have a home.
I believe, we as humans, should abolish borders of any kind.

@matcha_addict But I'm afraid this idea has no traction. It's only going to be possible if we as humanity realize that we are not alone in the universe and another species threatens us from outer space. I don't know any other way that we can all unite as earthlings and realize the fallacy of carving up the world into spheres of influence for a few, mostly militaristic men.

But it's supported by most Palestinians!
