Dicho, do you know WHY the refugees are in the camps?
Check out the history of the 1948 war if you want to know. The fact is, there have always been Jews in Palestine so the foreign invasion idea is not totally accurate.
The Israelis have done some very stupid and arrogant things, especially with regard to the West Bank and they have pushed Palestinian Arabs off their land to build more settlements. This is wrong and must be stopped.
The problem of Jerusalem is a beautifully simple one. Declare it an International City under the control of the UN and move the UN there.
So everyone will have a homeland and no one will have Jerusalem and the UN will be out of the US. That should make everybody happy.
Right?
