[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] *rolls eyes at BE's ignorance* ...y'know, that big gold dome thing you see in pictures of Jerusalem? That thing. That's sacred to Muslims. ...But it's also kinda beside the point, really. East Jerusalem is mainly inhabited by Palestineans. They'd want to be part of a Palestinean state. And, let's be blunt here. The West Bank is hardly the nicest piece of Real Estate in the World - It's basically desert or scrubland with water problems and little or no natural resources. There are ranches in Texas that are bigger and worth more. The only people on the planet who actually seem willing to live there are the Palestineans. (There're also several thousand Israelis, generally belonging to poverty-striken Orthodox Jewish families, who after having their heads filled with religious mumbo-jumbo about how God wishes them to live in the land of the Hebrews, have been handed government-subsidized housing in West Bank settlements and are being used as human boundary demarcators to fence in the Palestineans. But I digress.) If there's ever to be peace in the Middle East, the Palestineans need to be able to have a state and develop something of an economy in it so they can at least feed and house themselves. Without East Jerusalem, that's going to be next to impossible. [/QB][/QUOTE]
