Peaceful solutions are always good. It appears that you are a bit confused about history. The majority of the ancient Hebrews, mostly the rural and small trader/craftsman folks, were not deported by either Titus or Hadrian. They make up today's Palestinian people. The Arab conquest occurred when the majority had long converted to Christianity. That happened in the 700's. Several generations later, the crazy Crusaders messed up everything. The central problem as I see it is the Talmudist agenda to make that much fought-over land into an exclusively Jewish entity. Logically, that Eretz Yisroel agenda of "from the Nile to the Euphrates" needs to be examined and somehow a two-state solution needs to be achieved. Jerusalem should become a free-city, where Jews, Muslims and Christians all have equal rights.

If only! Can we throw in a few Hindus, Buddhists and, especially, Taoists? And can we all learn from one another? (Realizing this is ridiculously optimistic…or is it?)

Somebody on another stack commented that the Palestinians should immediately cede all their land in return for full Israeli citizenship. Then demographics would take over. Palestinians have more children than Israelis. They could conquer by doing nothing other than existing. Makes sense.

Read some Whitney Webb on MintPress, and she will speak of the Christian dispensationalist movement - money and people - which greatly exceed any Jewish interest in the region. Christians from UK & US funded the original settlements in the late 1800's, early 1900's, long before any WW's.

Though I agree: why can't we all just get along? (hint: follow the money, peace is not profitable)

Oops. Wrote my comment five+ hours after it should have been done as a reply. So look elsewhere in this thread for my comment on Letsrock's statement.

History can be as a slippery eel, as our educational institutions often infuse us with false history and the educational system here in the U$$A has been in the business of normatively socializing children and kids instead of impelling creative thinking, with some critical aspects in train.
