By demonstrating peacefully they can reclaim the moral high ground and if Israel react unfairly against peaceful demonstrations then eventually political pressure will be placed upon Israel for a two-state solution, from Europe.
They tried that originally and it failed. For many reasons. It's to late for peace now. They both want blood, they both want revenge, they both want the land - why? They both claim "Original right" to the land (Eretz Israel).
They both claim Jerusalem is theirs due to the symbolical religious ties they both share.
This is the problem with a system that has been failing for years. However, people only start to notice the issue now? Posting it on social media or sending them a few dollars won't save them from being bombed.
Stupid idea to out them there in the first place. Are we to return ancestral lands to every historic nation? Or just those with the money and power to campaign for it? I don't see the US scrambling to create an Iriquois nation, or us in a hurry to partition land out for the first Australians.
Of course, we might be more on board with such generosity if we were giving away somebody else's land. I'm sure Papua New Guinea won't mind us setting up a Koori nation, and the Iriquois can just have some of Mexico. They're probably not using it, anyway.
If you were going to manufacture a Jewish nation - which was a stupid precedent to set - I'd have thought taking the land from the German aggressors made more sense than dumping them in somebody else's yard for sentimental reasons.
I don't blame either party for their actions these days. Both were out into an impossible situation and are doing what they think necessary to protect lands they both feel they have a claim to.
Manufacture a Jewish nation in Palestine, Jews have historical links to the land - that's why it was done. But the way the UN originally planned it was wrong and not practical.
They should've come to a more proper agreement and helped them settle in a way, or area that would've avoided such bloodshed.
Again, they were offered other land but refused it, claiming that land (Eretz Israel) was theirs by right. The Palestinians claims the same. It's a prime example of two kids fighting over a turn of Xbox.
The murder rate has dropped by almost 50% in the last 15 year though.
But
I've heard gunshots from our window now and then, and a kiwi we know walled out his front door last year, saw two people get shot and did a 180. Waited inside for a few minutes.
They were both dead before the ambulance got there.
Sounds like Granville. I've seen drive-bys and such. It's scary to be honest.
