Gene Simmons is an Israeli born Jew.....of course he is going to go against the 1967 borders; even I'm against reverting back to those borders and I'm a NZ born Australian with roots from the same suburb as him. It's nothing personal but I would ultimately like to see Israel return back to it's biblical borders.
I don't have an answer for the Palestinian Arabs but Jordan is what I have in mind for them. I would much prefer an Arab Christian state alongside Israel.....but no one, do date, has given them a single mention.edit on 28-5-2011 by bluemirage5 because: (no reason given)

The fact is, though, that within Israel there are divergent opinions among Jews, who live in Israel, on the "front line" about the best way forward for all concerned. The most important debates on this subject are in Israel, among Israelis.

The history of this area, for thousands of years, is one of conflict. We are told that the land of Israel was originally taken by conquest, from the people who lived there, who were driven out, by the Jews.

Everyone in the region has to decide; is that going to be the continuing history of the region, or are we going to find compromises and move out of the circle of violence?

How does one move past that sort of impasse?

It just so happens that geological process dished up enough uranium in sufficiently pure quality to start a spontaneous nuclear reaction that has been going on for thousands of yeaqrs and will continue for thousands more. It's a kind of "holy land" of toxicity.
