As you white knight the Muslims, who are burning countries on 5 continents as we speak
WTF. Just have to question you, WTF are you talking about.
Before I proceed to your next statements.

I had similar question, although I did not ask it online, I had it to myself. I do not know. I refuse to guess.Why can't Israel and Palestine merge into one secular nation, created to honor both ethnicities?
I know more Muslims than you. I had 3 Saudi roommates in college and grew up in a Pakistani neighborhood in Brooklyn. You are delusional if you think Jews are 1% of the issue Muslims are.I had similar question, although I did not ask it online, I had it to myself. I do not know. I refuse to guess.
I hope blue alpha can answer, perhaps??
Blue alpha we need your answer, fag.
They should, and could, but every time Israel tries to make peace with ceasefires Hamas launches rockets indiscriminately, deliberately breaking ceasefires.Why can't Israel and Palestine merge into one secular nation, created to honor both ethnicities?
1. Why can't America and England merge into one nation like they were before 1776?Why can't Israel and Palestine merge into one secular nation, created to honor both ethnicities?
It would help me if you explained the point you are trying to convey with the sarcasm, if any.1. Why can't America and England merge into one nation like they were before 1776?
2. Why can't Canada and Russia merge into nation to honour their mutual love for hockey? They could call it Crussia or Ranada...
3. Why can't Switzerland and Saudi Arabia merge into one nation and establish buddhism as their official state religion?
So many possibilities!
How can two peoples that hate each other so much they've spent the last 70 years fighting non-stop, and that have totally opposite world views in terms of religion and culture merge into one nation "created to honour both ethnicities"? How will this "merger" be implemented? Who's going to agree to it? Who's going to force people who don't get along to suddenly start getting along...and how?It would help me if you explained the point you are trying to convey with the sarcasm, if any.
I agree in principle. Ideally, a nation is composed of people that share a common culture, history, and values. However, the situation has complicated too much for that. Whether right or wrong - imo wrong - the fact is that Israel's settlements (in the West Bank at least) have successfully created an ethnic mosaic within that territory that it would be difficult to carve out a Palestinian state without somehow pushing the settlers and their descendants back to Israel proper (good luck with that). On top of that, there is the problem with Gaza being controlled by Hamas that BlueAlpha mentioned. Notice that my emphasis was a secular state. Palestinians are generally poor, and many would actually jump at the chance of becoming Israel citizens, if only for better economic opportunities.How can two peoples that hate each other so much they've spent the last 70 years fighting non-stop, and that have totally opposite world views in terms of religion and culture merge into one nation "created to honour both ethnicities"?

Can you name one historical example of two nations "merging"? There are plenty of examples of countries falling apart along ethnic and religious lines but it never happens the other way around. The only time you have "merging" is when one country conquers another. The only possible exception that I can think of is the EU, and even that was a partial merger that is already failing. And European nations have a lot more in common with each other than Israelis and Palestinians.
I think your assessment is fair but don't believe most Palestinians would be OK with becoming Israeli citizens and sharing the land with the Jews. They object to a place called Israel and refuse to share. They'd rather continue to live as a charity case and eventually see Jews destroyed than move toward peace.I agree in principle.

First of all, why on earth would Israel want millions of Palestinians as Israeli citizens? Combined with Israeli Arabs, there is almost as many of them as there are Jews. And with a much higher fertility rate, they would quickly become the majority. And then they would elect Hamas or some other radical group as their government. What happens to the Jews then?

This.Combined with Israeli Arabs, there is almost as many of them as there are Jews.
What makes you think the average Palestinian would be bent on killing Jews if they became citizens of Israel? I am not trying to troll, simply think that the main problem is that neither side trusts the other. I am also predisposed to think that for an impoverished Palestinian who is not an extremist, improving their living conditions would take precedence over hating Israel, if there were protections from the social backlash from more radical Palestinians if they did so.First of all, why on earth would Israel want millions of Palestinians as Israeli citizens?

Because that's what they are taught from birth. Children's cartoons in Gaza heard towards 4 year olds teach of the importance of killing Jews.What makes you think the average Palestinian would be bent on killing Jews if they became citizens of Israel?
So the judge in Boston unblocked the ban, but the judge in Seattle blocked it. Where does that leave things?I called it.

President Donald Trump's travel ban executive order suffered its most severe legal blow to date Friday, as a federal judge in Seattle blocked the impact of the directive nationwide.
