The United State lays claim to being the greatest historical nation and the State of Israel claims chosen people as justification for existence. Yet both states have presided and been principal actors in what, if the idealistic and fearful view is taken, is simply an intractable "fact on the ground" as definition of the injustice done to the Palestinians and Palestinian Nation.
I could go all into the ridiculous nuances used in defense of Israel's claim to the Palestinian Nation. Nuances that mock the claimed pre-eminence of both the United States and Israel. The fact however is Israel and it's supporters have been struggling to defend a scale of injustice that was common practice of a by gone era and historical suppositions. That classic period of land seizure and European Colonialism, from Africa, the Americas to Southern Asia. Seizure of land was a fact of the human condition.
Israel came late to the land seizure game. Therein lies the objective failure of it's anticipation.
Israel, as a Jewish State imposed on the Palestinian Nation is doomed to failure for all sorts of infinite reasons. Regardless of narrative-sophistry, the resolution of the Israeli and Palestinian question lies with the simple recognition that it has two parts. Which are religious and secondly political.
The first part requires the recognition that Judaism lays claim to a historical point on earth. Just as Vatican City does in Italy and Mecca does in Arabia. This geographical point is only defensible when viewed apolitically.
The second part is the simple question of displaced persons allowed into United Nations mandate territory, which was the state of pre-Israel, British Palestine.
Recognizing Judaisms claim to a specific geographical point comparable to the Vatican City and Mecca and a revised recognition of the Palestinian nation that now holds within it's border's displaced and persecuted Europeans is the only objective resolution of the Palestinian question without the delusionary anticipations of Armageddon and the contradiction of the chosen people.
