SOrry---hit the submit button by accident.
My final thoughts were that business about giving the Native Americans back their land---well, they would like it back---and you Carol might have a better landlord in your "small plot"--who knows. But, as said earlier---history is ongoing so it will not happen--and hence, the Middle East is also ongoing.
As to Israel's good will or not---I was reminded in a note that when Egypt signed the peace agreement (Sadat) and recognized the state Israel gave back the entire Sinai---AND the valuable OIL fields. So--good will--good politics and hopes for the future--dashed sadly because, as always, the Palestinians are not welcome by their own brethren.
