When we print a quote, bearded bruce, it is always a good idea to indicate where we found it. Especially when the quote is one which is bound to be seen by others as open to question as to its accuracy..

The best solution for the area would have been a single state where Jews and Muslims and Christians would all live alongside each other. A normal state in other words. To insist that countries should be by definition primarily for particular groups - a "Jewish state" or a "Christian state" (still less a "Catholic" or "Protestant" or "Orthodox" Christian state) or a "Muslim state", or for white people or black people - well, that's is a pretty despairing way of dealing with human diversity. That's not what religion is supposed to be about.

However that's not the way things have been allowed to develop in that part of the world, and a two state solution seems the only realistic way out of the present nightmare, even though it does smack of the sick fantasies of the old South Africa. Maybe some day there'll be a saner generation that can come together in some wider federation, as has happened in Europe, after an even bloodier history.
