>That's a valid point, but I don't think it's that simple. The Palestinians don't want to live just any old place that will have them. They want to live in what they consider their holy land. Unfortunately for them, that territory is the holy land of Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. That's the crux of the matter. I am not anti-Israel but it would probably be a lot more peaceful if they were a little more willing to share.

Prior to 1967, Jews had no access to the old city of Jerusalem, containing Jewish holy sites. After the 6-Day War, the city was opened to the world. The Israelis are willing to share.

>PS -- I liked your description of a good relationship. Like Bonnie, I agree with you 100%. So I guess we're with you 200% ;-)
