Would the Arabs get their homeland if they put down their arms? Obviously not. Whoever disarms is dead.

20% of Israel's population are Arabs. 0% of any Palestinian state will be Jews. This is why they want to stop the settlements. If the West Bank were to become a state today, those Jews would have to go, one way or the other. Because there is a fundamentally different mindset on each side here.
That is one reason why there is a tremendous difference in body counts. In Syria, the UN is saying there are 191,000 dead so far. In Gaza there are about 2,000. It's all very sickening and saddening - because we are western, we agree that every death is sickening and saddening. There's no need to say it.
But we want to minimize deaths. Israel believes that too. But as long as the Arab world believes what it believes, it will be hard to do that without any deaths at all.
I am so sorry that I just blather on and on. There is something wrong with me.
