The Middle East conflict is framed as one of the most complex problems in the world. But, in reality, it's very simple. Israelis want to live in peace and are willing to accept a neighboring Palestinian state. And most Palestinians do not want Israel to exist. As Dennis Prager explains, this is really all you need to know. In 5 minutes, understand how Israel was founded, and how, since that auspicious day in 1948, its neighbors have tried to destroy it, again and again.
Prager University bump. I mentioned it to the kids once a season when I was coaching HS baseball. Any more would seem like proselytizing. But I did think it was important.
I seem to recall Caesar occupying Judea, not Palestine...
