They're allowed to exist, that should be enough.

...there it is: "we didn't kill you; you should be grateful". That mindset only leads to one end.

I'm bored of this and ready to sleep. If you'd like to continue the conversation tomorrow I'd like some thoughtful replies to these comments of mine:

Your fantasy ends with Israel taking control over the remaining Palestinians territory. Even if that somehow occurred...THEN what? Israel would be directly governing a group of people larger than them who want nothing to do with them and denying them representation. How would that be stable (or desirable) in the long term? Do they think they can turn them into Israelis like themselves? Do they plan to kill them all? I really don't understand the mindset of people who think that conflicts like this can be "won" or ended with some sort of territorial take over.

There is no end to the history that could get brought up here. The paradox that baffles me is that the people who criticize the Palestinians most strongly (I hate to put it in these terms, but yes: far right conservatives) are also the same people who would never in a million years accept a different group of people displacing them from their home in the way the Israelis did. They would act in exactly the same way as the Palestinians are should their roles somehow be reversed.
