Even the pyramids might one day disappear, but not the Palestinians longing for their homeland.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Israelis would mostly breathe a sigh of relief if Palestinians were to disappear.
The disappearance of Israel as a Zionist project, through war, cultural exhaustion or demographic momentum, is... plausible... Many Israelis see the demise of the country as not just possible, but probable.
If Israel does not find the way to disengage from the Palestinians, its future might resemble the experience of Belfast or Bosnia - two communities bleeding each other to death for generations.
Palestinians have had to live for a long time with the fact that Israelis had power over them in their everyday lives.
The days that Israel was separated from Europe are gone.
We need to see a Palestinian state.
The Palestinians are the only nation in the world that feels with certainty that today is better than what the days ahead will hold. Tomorrow always heralds a worse situation.
Hamas says in its charter they want to see a world without Israel. They want to obliterate Israel.
Many Palestinians have been living for decades in camps, disconnected from the environment in which they grew up, wallowing in poverty, in neglect, alienation, bitterness, and a deep, unrelenting sense of humiliation.
Israel's days without Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip are gone and will not return.
