Israelis themselves are asking the question ""What the hell are we doing here?"

When you come, occupy a place, take people's lands and homes, force people into cramped occupation camps and villages, deny them basic human rights, do you really expect to live happily ever after?
The reality is there is room and opportunity for both a Jewish state and a Palestinian state to exist, provided a real, sincere effort to be just, fair, and give people their basic human rights.
Jerusalem should become an independent state of its own, similar to the vatican, so that all may appreciate and practise their faith and history there.
