The Palestinians will not cease to exist, there are more than 14 million Palestinians. There are only about 9 million Israelis. They probably will end up being a people without a country, but it has always been that way for Palestinians. I don't think we agree as much as you might think but the author is clearly wrong. Ms Dana certainly has the right to defend Palestinians, but nobody should defend Terrorism. I don't know what she said but if she defended deliberate killing of non-combatants, she did cross a redline. A redline that Israel has crossed way too many times. I don't support Zionists. I am sympathetic to Palestinians, but they target civilians, that is unacceptable.

Palestine has never been a country, may never be a country. Palestine did not rule itself except when Israel allowed limited self-rule and it never has had defined borders until it was demarked as Gaza and the West Bank. Gaza has been ruled by many empires and nations over centuries but was never self-ruled and the West Bank was part of Jordan. I doubt that Israel will ever resolve the Palestinian situation properly. No two-state solution and no right to return, just constant oppression and war. The failure of the Camp David negotiation sealed that fate, I am afraid. War seems to be in the best interests of the people with power on both sides. So, suffer the people their plight.
