the kimmo sees little value in discussing the death of a single medic, tragic though it may be.

If we're doing the Israel/Palestinian thing again, I would like to see a broader discussion that goes beyond questions like "does Israel have a right to exist?"

I don't know... did I?  I presented a hypothesis... perhaps others will disagree with it.

I believe that this conflict would have faded away generations ago had the neighboring countries absorbed the displaced Palestinians into their own populations. But that wasn't permitted, because the political agenda was not to help Palestinians displaced from Israel, it was to keep them separate and segregated for the purpose of reclaiming ownership of Israel under an Arab banner.

It seems to me that these descendants of Palestinians are being punished because of their ancestry, essentially incarcerated, denied the chance to start new lives in their new locations for no reason other than having male ancestors who were displaced from their homelands when Israel was created. What had been a number of several hundred thousand at the time is now somewhere around ten times that... people for the most part born and raised in captivity as pawns in a political struggle.  They've been segregated from their current host countries for the purpose of recolonizing Israel, which is expressly antagonistic to Israel's ongoing existence.
