Columbia University has fallen

[Maxmars]

Palestinians have lost all rights to statehood after their decades long attacks and wars against Israel.

In my humble opinion.

Well, you can't really "lose" that kind of right, can you?

You either have it, or never did.  I know there is a lot of history in this conflagration of events.  But I was never certain that there had ever been a "Palestinian State."  Not to say people can't have such a thing, but what kind of state can exist without actual borders?  None that seem a compatible fit in the world today, in my opinion.

The responses to the "disagreement" so far have not been at all constructive.  And neither side can lay claim to acting exclusively within 'reason' without debate or justifications based upon history.  

Appeasing your opponent has to have value.  In neither side do we see an exact focus of resolution, of appeasement, save the political claim that "Jews" should not exist.  I call it political because that is where they are... at the very terminus of 'politics' and in the midst of war.

It is clear that both sides are acting on a determination that the time for political discourse is passed.  Or at least, that is the distilled essence of all we see.   Or is it possible that somehow, peace can be restored?  And will it be true peace for both sides, is that even possible?
