67. This discussion is so illuminating.
What we have now is never-ending conflict, only it does not disrupt the lives of too many Jewish Israelis, therefore it's quite acceptable.

Please just be clear about your position.

You support the status quo, because the side you support can still live pretty comfortably with it. If your side was locked in a 5 mile cage for a year, spent half their lives sitting at checkpoints, had random family members tossed into jail at a moments notice, and had land stolen at the point of a gun, I don't think you'd think the status quo was so groovy.

Fear not, Proteus, white practitioners of Jim Crow believed their lives would come crashing down, as did Afrikaaners. They survived the move to justice, and Jewish Israelis will too.
