Thank you for sharing your research and opinions on this horrific and persistent stalemate in Israel/Palestine. I’m afraid that when two peoples claim the same real estate based on supposed divinely ordained claims from their respective tribal deities (both of whom are seen by their followers and as the “one true god”) I see no possibility of compromise or peaceful resolution. Monotheism may well be the worst idea that the human imagination ever conceived, for when “my enemies” become the “enemies of God,” compromise becomes blasphemy, and genocide becomes a sacrament.
