Lather, rinse, repeat until there aren't any more Palis in any disputed territory.
(Hey, I said it was simple... I didn't say it was easy.)
He said, and the tour bore it out, that there just AREN'T enough Jewish Israelis in Israel to do all the work there is to do.
May Jewish Israelis did NOT want to wash toilets or do farming, SO they hired Palestinian Arab Israelis to do the work that THEY did not want to do.
Apparently the system works as people, being people, work together, out of necessity and discover that the "others" aren't as heinous as previously thought.
Perhaps no friendships ever involve and possibly no respect ever emerges but there was/is a realization that co-existence, without mortar and rockets hanging over Muslim heads, CAN happen.
And yes, I did ask the question: isn't the threat of guns and rockets the ONLY reason is works? They all said that threats work only in the short term and threats, though seemingly a "nice warm fuzzy" for some of the Jewish settlers, considered to be the most radical Israelis, are not much of a long-term solution. The better solution is to treat the Palestinian Israelis decently and make THAT stick.
The Jewish settlements were positioned so as to force every Palestinian to drive through Jewish check-point after Jewish check-point to get from home to work. Everyone is used to that by now and whatever animosity if felt by EITHER side, the system works because it's better than civil war. EVERYONE loses in a civil war. There are NO winners even though it may make SOME people happy. BOTH sides over there seem content with the system. I'm not so sure about the folks here.
It's a better life for everyone, I was told by all involved.
Jerusalem, however, was almost all Jewish Israelis--understandable of course. But the Dome of the Rock is treated with respect because respecting other faiths is a hallmark of a civilized nation.
These are also many of the quotes from the Jewish Israeli guides that we met. They were the guides that OUR guide met, knew and dealt with for decades.
