Something too many Israelis (and Americans) fail to realize...

17. The Israeli government has to stop evicting Palestinians from their homes

Evictions in Jerusalem and heavy handed measures at the al Aqsa holy site during Ramadan sparked the latest violence.

Hamas is dead wrong with its rocket attacks. The oppressed accomplish nothing but worse hardships for their people with these strikes, eliciting tenfold retaliation and casualties.

Peace has long been predicated on the "two state solution" but facts on the ground advanced by Israel for decades make that impossible. This goes beyond the fact that Gaza and the West Bank are not contiguous. Jewish settlements pepper the West Bank with roads controlled by Israel slicing and dicing the territory into something that cannot possibly be a sovereign Palestinian state.

With unconditional support from the US, the long term strategy is for a Greater Israel encompassing all of the Promised Land.

But what of the demographics? Absent some kind of forced removal, Arabs are likely to become the majority population. This would mean the end of the Jewish state in a free democracy, but does anyone think that will be allowed to happen?

We're looking at apartheid, or something worse.
