One of your best columns though history of Jews and Palestinians is a little garbled. I am not a historian however There have always been Jews living in Palestine getting along okay with Arabs. After England declared in the Balfour Declaration in1924 that there would be. Jewish state, the Muslim brotherhood was founded that opposed this with pograms against existing Jews. Most of the Jews living in Israel today did not come from Europe, they came from neighboring countries like Tunisia and Syria after formation of Israel. However, current debacle is not about the past which can be argued interminably but about future and a future as you stated cconstructed on graves of dead children can hardly be stable. Ever.
