Palestinian land was originally taken from the Israelis. The Jews are back in a homeland historically theirs from the time of Moses, and long before Palestinians got there. Neither side can premise its political ideology on the destruction of the other. The only solution is to have two viable states, and that means that Palestine must get rid of its jihadist agenda (and get rid of the jihadists operating under their noses), and Israel must end the occupation by withdrawing to its 1967 borders. Thats the starting point for a negotiated settlement. Militant Zionism and militant Muslim imperialism are just fuelling the conflict. Don’t get me wrong; I am under no illusion that Israel’s heavy-handed and sometimes reckless approach to the issue of Palestine and the plight of the Palestinian people has much to answer for. Israel has a fundamental right to exist in the Jews’ historical homeland, but they have time and again shot themselves in the foot and given their sworn enemies blood-drenched propaganda with which to whip up public sentiment and blind the global audience to the real issues at play in this conflict. It is radical Muslim imperialism, nothing less. It is time the world and its governments realised this before the tumour becomes too invasive to treat without putting us all at risk. And before they show their true colours at anti-Israel marches.
