The Zionist movement started harmlessly enough as Jews began to move to Palestine during the 19th Century. They bought property. They lived as members of the Ottoman Empire just like everybody else. But it was England's Ambition to Conquer the World that landed us all into trouble. Over several million dead bodies England forceably stole the Empire from the Ottomans, and then did not know how to administer it. So we had the Instability that allowed for the criminal motives of the Radical Zionists. They decided they would betray their Palestinian Neighbors and declare their own Nation and conduct a massive confiscation of Palestinian properties and forceably eject the Palestinians out of what had been their Land, which had been respected by the Ottoman Rulers, being more Civilized then the English. Of course, no Civilized person can condone such behavior.
George Bush would call it respecting the "Realities on the Ground"... that Israel had stolen it five minutes ago and now it is as good as theirs. Somebody needs to steal something from George Bush and see if he respects his own doctrine, that once stolen, it no longer belongs to him.
It would be fine if the Palestinians had ever surrendered in War, but that is just the point. They have never surrendered.
In real estate law we have a notion called Hostile Defense. In the American West if somebody encroaches upon some land and puts it to productive use for 20 years without the Deeded Owner putting up a "Hostile Defense", which means nothing more than once putting a phone call through to the Sherif in order to complain, the the Usurper can claim for a Title Transfer... I was using it, he was not, and he never complained.
But from the very first minute, until now, for how many years you wish to count, Palestine has Hostily Defended its right to their stolen properties, to their stolen Nation.
Since America and Britain are the only Nations on earth that support this Thievery, well, they should make it right. Either move Israel to Scotland or California -- let them see how it feels to be forced from their homes. Or move Palestine to Scotland or California, giving them enough compensation whereby they are willing to make the deal. But of course without any of the present duress and violence.
Dropping bombs on ones victims and assassinating their every spokesmen in order to establish an absolute intimidation, is not really a way to assure a lasting Peace. If too much Duress is involved in a Peace Treaty, well in every legal sense, it invalidates the contract. Any valid Contract must involve a real interest accruing to each party, and not just "We will stop murdering your babies if you agree to our crimes". Suspension of Duress and Violence does not count as any Legally recognized accrual of interest.
But George Bush never studied law... nor anybody who voted for him.
