I have, as one who was raised by Gentiles but with one Jewish natural parent, a balanced view of this Israel Palestinian conflict. I personally believe that it is past time for the world, not just Hamas, not just Israel, to fix this problem of the West Bank and Gaza. I responded to an article with this post:

"I personally am for reparations, but with a twist. I believe that the world allowed Israel to exist. I believe that existence will not end by human force. Therefore, any attempt to try to take the land by force as Hamas is doing is futile. I do however believe that there should be reparations paid to the Palestinians for the loss of their land in 1948. But the responsible party is the world. The world needs to chip in and pay these people (descendents) and they need to do so fast. There will not be a real and lasting peace until there are reparations.

Though I was raised as a Gentile, my natural father was Jewish, so I believe I have an unbiased view. It is time the world helped the Palestinians, and with that the laying down of arms by Hamas."

One of the center of debates is whether Israel and palestine should be one state or two states. There are many palestinians in Israel. The issue revolves around apartheid. Can Israel be a full champion of human rights if the palestinians were to have a majority vote, under one nation? Or will Israel have to support a two nation idea that will allow for palestinians to have full rights only if they move to the second nation? This is a very difficult issue and should be decided on once and for all.
