Reply #19: It's better to have West Jerusalem and peace than the whole thing and have the war never end

[Ken Burch]

You know perfectly well it's unreasonable to expect the Palestinians to give up East Jerusalem, that no "swaps" can possibly make up for that.

They have roots in the land just as deep as Israelis do. At some point, you're going to have to accept that and admit, once and for all, that they aren't just "generic Arabs" who were shipped in at the last minute by the other Arab countries out of mustache-twirling evilness.
