That you insist on 'Jewish' being nothing more than a theocratic category is evidence of an almost laughable ignorance.From a juridic point of view, the nouns "Jewish" and "Muslim" are absolutely irrelevant.

The UN is a big part of the problem.Egypt almost certainly won't be willing to accept the problems inherent with Gaza. If Hamas is eliminated, about the only scenario I can picture is that the U.N. might be willing to temporarily orchestrate new elections with the possibility that el-Fatah may be elected. It's a long shot, but I think it could be possible.

I was talking about religion
By Jewish person I meant one who professes Judaism
By Muslim I meant one who professes Islam
From a juridic point of view, the nouns "Jewish" and "Muslim" are absolutely irrelevant. A modern state is supposed to be secular, but I understand that the Middle East is full of theocracies. To us Europeans, Theocracy is synonym of cultural regress (no offense) because we Europeans have always fought to establish democratic, secular and enlightened governments. The French motto, Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, is an example of this struggle.
So peace is obtained through enlightened ideas and secularism. Religion is irrational and can never match with the common welfare of a state.
Your "enlightened" secularism is another way of being inept at rational debate.
I responded to your "I meant that it is unnatural to take an entire nation and transfer them into a country which is already occupied by another nation," by pointing out the logical fallacy of that statement and you chose, in your "enlightened secularism" to babble on about theocracy and religion.
Cultural regression would be to totally ignore your initial premise and move on in another direction because your initial premise is indefensible and makes no sense whatsoever.
However, indeed, let us move on to your Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité.
Lovely sentiments all.
And, the French and Europeans in general, have decided upon Equality and Fraternity at the expense of Liberty.
Any logical, secular, discerning mind would understand that Equality in terms of human beings is a moot point.
According to secular Evolutionary theory, it is a fact that ALL men are born and live in Inequality.
It is only in G-d's eyes, which you apparently abhor, that Man is Created Equal.
I would strongly suggest you read: HARRISON BERGERON by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
This is where your precious secular values take you.

What's wrong with secularism?
You forgot Iraq.
Is there a solution to the problems in Israel?
You mean like Jordan and Syria?
Isn't terrorism a result of perceived injustice, action taken by a frustrated and perhaps oppressed minority who feel they are not heard and can't get representation in another way.
Isn't USA also an artificially created state in the country of other native inhabitants.
Maybe that's why they're less sensitive to the plight of the Palestinians!
Yes. Stop oppressing palestinians and allow them an autonamous state.
Just to note: the tu quoque discussion is actually in a different thread.The greatest oppressor of the Palestinians is Hamas, and some of the other governments in the region now recognize this. Both Hamas and ISIS are terrorist organizations that are threatening the entire region as we've seen.Yes. Stop oppressing palestinians and allow them an autonamous state.
Why would you think that?I listen to Israeli politicians saying that they cannot and will not deal with Hamas because they are terrorists.
Weren't some of the former Israeli politicians terrorists when they blew up King David Hotel years ago. Weren't some current politicians in northern Ireland IRA terrorists?
