HISTORY - THE ENEMY OF PEACE

From Bob Janoff:
"Personal message: I know I don't know much about politics and am not well-read but isn't there now an Arabic state called JORDAN. JUST CHANGE THE NAME TO PALESTINE. Too simple?"

Bob, there are people who believe that should be the solution. Send the Arabs who used to live in what was called Palestine, to Jordan, and give the land that was called Palestine to Israel. Call Jordan Palestine and call Palestine Israel. Neat.

Between nationalism, patriotism, religion and holy rocks, love of country/land where you were born, and where the ancestors are buried, figure your chances of peacefully moving anybody to anywhere they don't want to be from places they do want to be.
