That deserves a proper response, but I find its length too intimidating to come up with a suitable one.

If we view the conflict from such a high level, I also have a take. My take is basically 'utilitarian': nobody anywhere in the world has a right to live anywhere outside of what other people accept (or other people tolerate, at least).

From my point of view, it's a waste of time to argue over who has a 'right' to the land based on birth-right, history, religion, etc; both sides make sound arguments to those ends.

What matters, in my view, is only what arrangement will placate all the parties involved (jews, muslims, and other).
