    This is not a 21st century problem. This is a 13th century problem.

    The problem with that interpretation is that the King of France, Phillip the Fair and Pope Clement V, disbanded and destroyed the Knights Templar in the early 14th Century. I am quite sure you are aware of that fact.

    No, it is very much an unresolved problem that started in the 20th century with the Treaty of Paris in 1919. Subsequent events in the region have grown out of the consequences of what that document facilitated.

    Ok, Israel can go in there, fight a conventional modern war and this problem will come roaring back as it always does.

    You could even create a Palestinian state and it would make little to no difference.

    Again, applying modern tactics to the 13th century foe.

      The problem is at least 2 decades older than the treaty. Go back and look at the population numbers from 1880 through 1910. Both the Jewish and the Islamic population exploded far beyond normal reproductive rates for the region… Both groups began to actively populate the region.

      Of course, the truth of 1890-1948 is irrelevant. What matters is that you now have 4 generations on both sides that have embraced perceptions and “feels”.

        True enough. However the local Arab Muslims and Christians and the Sephardic Jews who lived there did so in relative peace (and under the Ottoman thumb) until the 1920’s when Palestine fell under the British Mandate. Rather than deal with the rising tensions, the British were preoccupied with keeping the members of the Hashemite dynasty in positions of power throughout greater Syria and Mesopotamia. Tensions and violence between Arabs and Jews increased with the trickle of of European Jews immigrating into Palestine. It reached a boiling point during WWII when the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem went into exile and into the welcoming arms of Hitler and the Nazis.

        So while these pre 1948 events may seem irrelevant today, they set the stage for the 4 generations of perceptions and feels you describe between Arab and Israeli that have continued to fester and periodically explode into flames throughout the Cold War and into the present.

        Elbows up!

                      The mother of Shani Louk, an Israeli-German woman thought to have been kidnapped by Hamas gunmen at a music festival in Israel, says her daughter is dead.
                      Speaking to German media, Ricarda Louk said she had been told by the Israeli military that a DNA sample taken from part of a skull bone proved to be Shani's.
                      Her body has not yet been found.

                          I imagine it's difficult to destroy tunnels without some damage to the overlying buildings.

                            But, but, Hamas kept saying she was alive. Hamas wouldn't lie to the world, would they?

                            And that, my friends, is a major part of this current problem...Much of the media takes the garbage Hamas feeds them and reports it as news.

                              She seemed dead in the video where she was lying in truck bed.

                                Yes. I believe I posted that video the day after the attack.

                                  I bet Hamas released her and those damn Jews thought it would look better for them if she was dead. Lying murderous bastards!

                                          So they still figure their greatest threat is not Israel. Good thinking.
