It's not in the least bit wrong to be a Palestinian and think you had your country and future stolen by the existence of Israel, it may not be entirely true but it is entirely understandable that a Palestinian would feel that.
It is also not in the least bit wrong that no Jew feels particularly safe around Palestinians and so would never want to let go of any control or security what so ever.
Neither of you are giving a thought to why the other is angry and sad and scared, you dont need to agree with some one to at least try and think what life is like in their shoes for a few minutes before you run your yap back at them.
The irony is you two have more in common with each other than anyone else on this board, you are both living under the threat of a war that could destroy your families and yet neither of you wants to try and view the conflict from the other side

I can accept that the jews believe their homeland is in Palestine/Israel, even though I think their claim is bogus. That's what they believe, so whatever. To each their own. 2 nations can have the same homeland. It's nothing new.
I can even accept that jews would want to immigrate there.
What I can't accept, however, is disposession, colonization and racism. You want to peacefully fly over there, buy or rent property from someone willing to sell or rent to you, live in peace with your neighbours, then sure.
You want to go partake in pogroms against Palestinians, implement a system of apartheid and rob the Palestinians of their livelihood, then you can #### right off back to New Jersey or Berlin.
