Reply #79: first of all - no sane person is suggesting that even one single Jewish immigrant to Palestine

or their children should have to leave the State of Israel. What is done is done. At this point expecting that would only be one notch more preposterous then suggesting that the European immigrants to the Americas and their descendants should have to leave.

Quite the contrary from suggesting that, I believe that the Israeli people should seek integration into the region. In fact it would be in the long run suicidal for them not to. In fact it would be in the interest of the Arab peoples for the Israelis to become an accepted and vital part of the region.

Ten or fifteen years ago it would have been extremely difficult to sell this in the Arab world. At this point and time, I believe that the vast majority of the Arab world would be quite willing; both the people and the governments.

The path to a peaceful resolution is really not all that complicated.
