"As with myown country Ireland, the who's right and who's wrong and who started it are lost in the mist of time and will never be agreed. The solution is either wait several hundred years for all the vested interests to die off and evolve into something approaching sanity such as modern Ireland"

a) how long it has taken for Ireland to find something akin to peace
b) how much, much younger Israel (the current borders) is than Ireland
