    In my opinion? The Palestinians will be wiped out. It’s just a matter of time. They’re Native Arabians on the Reservation and eventually the plague blankets will catch up with them. But it isn’t the “Israelis” that started this.

Why will they be wiped out? How did you come to the conclusion that it's just a matter of time? I understand your point that they are the native American to Israel's manifest destiny in your analogy, but isn't it possible that in future generations, tensions will cool, like the issue of racism in the United States? Sorry if that was a bludgeoned example, as I don't necessarily think the solution to the conflict right now should be modeled on the American example, but why is Palestinian annihilation just a matter of time? What are these plague blankets?

PS - can't describe how much I appreciate your contextualizing this in a larger view, I took a lot of cues to educate myself further from this post.
