Before I state my stance, let me explain my foundation:
1) I do not believe in anti-semitism or its code name, anti-zionism.
2) I do not believe in the word islam-o-fascism or its application to ordinary life in any islamic state.
What I do believe is that we have people...real people. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, rivals, humanitarians, and selfish territorialists. These people have one thing in common which is an intensely intertwined ethnic history. What they also have in common is that neither has ever had a homeland of its own prior to the last century.
Recently in our history, both Palestine and Israel have become key players in the global political climate. Due to catastrophic global power plays by their respective backers, both have been imbued with a sense of righteous ownership of a territory that is viewed, by both the christian and arab worlds, as the promised land.
It was wrong for western post-nazi guilt to be the driving force that established an Israeli state in a land that there was no prior claim upon. Equally, it is wrong for the arab world to incite murderous vengeance upon those civilians who have been prematurely promised their establishment in said region.
If the west would only look past it's own self righteousness and confess to the rippling, global effects of its own violent arrogance and set about correcting it's mistakes by:
1) Allowing Israel to protect it's own borders against the Arabs in any way they need to ensure their own survival.
and...
2) Abandoning it's dependence on Arab oil and thereby abandoning it's interest in Arab politics
Then we might see a settling of the dust, so to speak. I firmly believe Israel will survive and I firmly believe that Palestinian Arabs will want to see an end to the senseless sacrifice of its children.
If the West would just step out of middle eastern affairs, then I really do believe the middle east would stabilize itself on its own like they have since the beginning.
