When it gets to this point we have to fall back to the realization we are part of the animal kingdom. In the animal kingdom, it is survival of the fittest. Perhaps it would be well for the Palestinians to recognize this and work out the best deal they can get.

I'm no expert on this and have enjoyed reading the opinions of people much more informed than I am, but it seems like this is the inescapable conclusion. It IS survival of the fittest, or at least has been to this point. Correcting the injustices of the past (if you accept that there have been injustices), be it the Palestinians, Native Americans, African-Americans, Jews, or whomever else, would require a whole new set of injustices, without actually restoring anything to those originally injured. How is this a solution?
All we can do now is to do our best to prevent new wrongs from occurring.
