It was a really, really long post, posted in many places I'm sure, and obviously meant as spam and not a real post... it could potentially have been left, though, yeah. I don't know if I would have deleted it.
Do you know how incredibly unlikely that is? By now, after so long, that's just not going to happen. You can't spend 60 years building up this stuff and then suddenly expect it to all disappear.
I mean, both sides are dominated by religious zealots. Religious zealots are not often going to negotiate and give up anything to the other side easily... and also, they want the same land. To many of them it is a zero-sum game.
Those refugee camps only still exist because the Arab governments who run them want the Palestinians angry at Israel. There is absolutely no logical explanation for "refugee" camps that are still there sixty years later! It just makes absolutely no sense... except when you consider that they are there to keep the people in poverty and ignorance. Poverty and ignorance are the two strongest things pushing Palestinians into hatred of Israel... and while the Israeli government has certainly done some things to further that,the Arab governments have too. Neither side really wants peace.
As for violence, both sides have done many horrible things.

Instead, they continually fight for no good reason.
