Once you have someone to blame you take it to the next step of demanding settlement for your losses and or "crappy experience" Over the human time line this area has gone back and forth in ownership. The Jews have held it and then smited by the Lord. The Palestinians can say the same sad story with respect to Post WWII. Can the two just get along? hahahahaha. History proves that time and time again this is not likely going to happen. So what to do about it for the future? So you take a snapshot of this from borders of 2010, 2000, 1967, 1947, 1940, 1800, 570, 300, 1 Should we give the land back to the Romans, the Greeks or the Egyptians? How about the Ottomans and or the Persians? Nobody wins here without creating a large amount of losers at the same time. We could let them keep fighting it out following the old rules. Attack a city and kill everyone left in the victory ransack party. Or keep the women and kids alive for slaves.That would shock the crap out of the rest of the world wouldn't it?
