World, get a clue!
The Palestinians and the Israelis have been at this conflict since 1947 and the Balfour Declaration that took Palestine away from it's people. Study the history of the Middle East just for five minutes and you will find out that this conflict is deeply rooted in both societies. No one in Israel or Palestine is at fault. Europeans, especially the WWII allies, are at fault for alleviating their guilt after the war by plopping the disenfranchised Jews in the Palestinian homeland. Would you like it if someone came along and said move out of your state, we need it for the American Indians?
Divide the holy land in half, one for Israel and one for Palestine. Divide Jerusalem, where many religions have important monuments, and make the old center a city state like the Vatican in Rome. Put a peace keeping force between the two countries until they give up struggling. Until then, there will always be cycles of violence and poor women and children dying on both sides.
This is the bare truth.
The US, to this day, has backed Israel because the Jewish population in our country is large and financially integral to our economy. So be it. We can support Israel and Palestine both.
As I said, get a clue - like the one I'm giving you now - and gather the world to support and bring about the existence of two free and autonomous states of Israel and Palestine. Gather to bring about peace in the Middle East. Is there anyone for this job?
How about it, Secretary Clinton?
