It's a cop out. I have great respect for Jews and Judaism (and for Islam as well). The religious dimensions of the conflict do not have to be a deal breaker. Judaism and Islam have gotten along without killing each other through long stretches of history.

Britain has a problem too. The BBC did a study of it's own bias on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and came to the conclusion that it had a strong pro-Israeli bias. The BBC has been trying to be more even handed...

How long do Israelis have to live there before it's considered "their" land? Never? Could not that whole argument be applied to all of Israel? This gets much more complex once you push past the bumpersticker bromides.

I'm waiting for the illegal aliens to assert their right of return due to the 19th century expansionist aggression in Texas and the Mexican-American War.

That's a weak justification for the settlements in the West Bank.
