BTW, making Israel/Palestine a unitary state with a secular democracy and equal rights for all would NOT be "recolonization". It would be recolonization to propose reinstating the League of Nations Mandate.

BTW, Northern Ireland wouldn't be the best example to quote in favor of your position, given that Unionist and Republican factions are now in a power-sharing agreement in which both communities exist as equals, and in which almost all violence has ceased. To make it even more difficult for you, as the "Masterpiece Contemporary" program of a couple of weeks ago regarding the end of South African apartheid and the freeing of Nelson Mandela pointed out in its closing credits, the nonsectarian South African solution(as opposed to the apartheid state the Israeli government gave aid and comfort to in the 1970's and 1980's)influenced the Northern Irish peace process, and Sinn Fein is now advising Hamas on how to enter into a peace and power-sharing process with the Israelis.

The world isn't as simple as you'd like it to be, Sagle.
