#2 On Nov. 29, 1947, the UN decided to form a Jewish and Arab ("Palestinian") state.

So they had a UN-sanctioned "two state solution" in 1948. Who wrecked that dream? [rhetorical question, of course]

#5 EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said Israel’s bombardment of Gaza will fuel hatred among Palestinians “for generations,”

This is a nice example of a fact that is completely true and is either misleading or adds nothing to the discussion.

No doubt, future Paleos will remember the Flattening of Gaza much like they remember the sNakba (sp?) back in '48. But it changes nothing because those future generations already hate the Juice for being the Juice. It is baked into their religion and culture.

The only obstacle I see to peace in the ME is that one side wants to exterminate the other no matter what the costs.
