Before 1947, all of this area was relatively peaceful.
So the solution to the problem is to let the French and British run it again?

No. This is what happens when there is foreign interference. The British are just as guilty.

Last year I committed to reading about the history of the Israeli - Palestinian conflict from both perspectives. I studied the history of the Middle East from ancient to modern times via the Caliphate, the Ottoman Empire, The Sykes-Picot agreement, the Balfour Declaration and the establishment of modern Israel.
Anybody who thinks it's morally simple doesn't understand it.
By the way while British troops were dying to liberate France from the Nazis the French were selling arms to Zionist terrorists to kill British soldiers in Palestine. Treacherous bastards.

Did you mean to say before 1918?
Shall we reinstate the Ottoman Empire?

So you're okay with Turkish Muslims invading Palestine but not other empires.
You should read some history.

At least Palestinians owned their own property.
Today they have been pushed off their property and are restricted in their travel, access to medicine, food supply, clean water, Building supplies. Etc.

Do you know anything at all about the Middle East under Ottoman rule?
I'm not defending Israel. I'm pointing out that it is far more historically and morally complex.

In the last hour or so I have read about the empire on Wikipedia. Pretty barbaric. Islamic ideology has truly shown it's true colors.
Seems as if every country since has added to the misery of these people.
When will it end. The Jews have done their bit also with their belief that they are gods chosen people. Might I add that Jehovah's Witnesses have oppressed people too.
Time for people to be educated.

As much as I love Oprah, I'm quite fed up with Americans putting showmanship and celebrity status over real leadership. She will have to be very, very convincing to a person like me for me to vote for her in a primary of any party.
