Thanks for the civil feedback, it's appreciated.   Israel has always been perplexing.   My family knew an older Jewish family that had traveled to Israel with the intention of immigrating.   But the saw the Arab peoples marched from their homes and did not stay for that reason. 

An the flip side I appreciate the Jewish people and their culture.

For all of human history borders have been reset by force and violence.    Deciding the borders of say 2017 will be permanent for the next century won't happen.   Is Israel any thing more than that?   *I do not believe that Israel is chosen by God to occupy that particular lot of land.

I'm not one to always follow power as the final arbitrator, but it seems when negotiation fails it always turns to power.
