‘From the River to the Sea’ — For Israel!

I watched a dated Frontline documentary, “Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road to Oslo,” which originally aired in July 2002. It is incredible how much I have forgotten, considering I lived through all that history. Although, I was not nearly as politically astute then as I am now. The historical refresher recalibrated my perspective a bit about the current Israel-Hamas war. It seems to me that a two-state solution can never happen. It is a fool’s errand. Indeed, the fight for Israel’s existence and the plight of Palestinians really is akin to a cage match — two men enter, one man exits. That one man must be Israel. Honestly, at this point, I think Israel should push all Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. I’ll give them “from the river to the sea” alright! There can be no peace as long as Palestinians live within Israel. Push them into the sea, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, or Lebanon. I don’t care anymore. And let the rest of the Middle East rattle their sabers. There are a few countries that need to be ended while Israel’s at it, such as Syria and Iran. I have no problem with Jews pushing Muslims from the holy land of Jerusalem. Jerusalem was a sacred city to Jews and Christians long before Islam showed up on the scene, so if claiming preeminence over the city is based on the most recent occupier, as Muslims claim because of their mosque, then simply shove Muslims out and raze the mosque. Israel should retake and reclaim all of the city and rebuild the Holy Temple for a Third time!
