    “The only solution is to create two states that share the land for which they have been dying for 100 years,” Borrell was quoted as saying. He added that such a solution must be “imposed from the outside.”

    I disagree. I think the only solution is to take all their toys away and segregate the populations of both peoples. Like unruly children, they need to be put in time out.

      Is in the populations or the leadership? I’m sure there’s plenty of their populations that aren’t psychotic despots or vicious terrorists.

        Leadership and governments. I agree that there are civilians who are completely against the war. Many Israelis don’t feel like they can speak out right now, because of the noisy ones foaming at the mouth.

        Yes exactly. What I’m saying is that the Israeli state needs to be disbanded, the Palestinian state needs to be disbanded, and a neutral state needs to be set up in their place that only cautiously allows their citizen’s return.

        That would be the ideal solution, but actually making that happen is prohibitively complex.

        This “solution” makes you sound as if you’re just annoyed by hearing and reading about those dumb middle-eastern barbarians and want literally any solution that would get them out of your news feed, rather than actually wanting much good to those people.

            I never said, nor implied, either side were “dumb” or “barbarians”.

            Your stance implies it, in many ways. You’re not really trying to understand the people there, and treat them in a completely dehumanising manner.

            Like, do I have to explain why it’s not a good idea to take most goods and history away from a nation and dump it somewhere near the polar circle?

            Do I have to remind you of that other guy who thought a fabricated cultural conflict could be solved by moving the Jews away to Madagascar?

            the populace of both sides are brainwashed by organized religion, and authoritarians and terrorists are using that as a cudgel to achieve their own selfish aims, and are the real poison here.

            The only way to take away their power is to remove the dispute over the region.

            Since you’re already proposing completely impossible fantasy solutions, why didn’t you propose e.g. deposing of those authoritarians and religious extremists who fan the fires of conflict, assembling representatives willing to work out a tolerable solution to the conflict, and thus allowing the area (especially Palestine) to gradually develop, and naturally ease and dispose of the extremist culture that most people there are born into?

            No, that sounds boring, let’s just take everyone, terrorists and normal people together, and dump them into the Amazon rainforest or Tierra del fuego. Even in your fantasies you don’t seem to wish for especially nice things for those people.

        Yeah the problem with the idea is how to make it work - especially when both groups hold religious significance to the area.

        I think maybe some kind of relocation, but with passports that grant them permission to travel to the religious city of Jerusalem. The region itself must be carefully managed as a tourist destination for all nationalities and religions. Then over time people may be allowed to settle back there.
