    My bad for my tone. I was tired and didn’t noticed how sassy I came off.

    I don’t think my suggestion will ever happen, but I think it’s what needs to happen.

    I don’t think Palestinians would trust IDF soldiers to be escorts to be honest, but I suppose white police/soldiers played a role in integration in the US.

    As far as implementing solutions, I think the Palestinians should decide that for themselves. I don’t think the international community will allow that for MANY reasons, Christians being just one. And until we can stop the ethnic cleansing policy from its current implementation, there is no room to even try anything.

    But yes, the evangelical Christian relationship with Israel is VERY different than the relationship of Israel to Jews. I understand the propaganda I see in the Jewish community, and I understand how it’s harder to see this issue clearly when you’re more likely to have family members, friends, and memories made in a region.

    Christian fantasize about Israel being theirs or seeing themselves as the true Israel already, and that it’s a metaphor for them and not Jews.

    that’s not even getting into how all the neighboring countries feel and how all their allies and enemies feel. It’s a lot.
