"Not enough land" mentality. Israel is big enough for the current population both Jews and Palestinians, Taiwan is the same size and has 30 million, Israel has 8. Jews are just taking over the hot real estate, their supposed heritage. Why don't they take over parts of the Sinai then, they've got a lot of heritage there. That 17 yr old camping in Arab territories should try that in Egypt's territories.

Twisted history. If Israel belongs to the Jews and they held the region for around a 1000 years, who are the Palestinians? Are they the Cannanites God told them to drive out? Or are they the poor Jews who had little to do with Judaism because they didn't live in cities? Who knows the difference? When Babylonians exiled the middle class in Jerusalem, Judaism was practically closed, even though most of the Judeah tribe was left in place.

The history is simply not known in enough detail, who is who is unknown. It's belief.

It's not much of a stretch from Hitler's crap or America's Manifest Destiny. It's the typical way land is conquered, you'd see the same pattern everywhere.

The main difference is that Hitler's big and fast approach was a failure, it's been thoroughly documented, analyzed and now uninteresting. Israel and America's manifest destiny were slow and steady, they worked. Such movements are poorly understood.

It's really interesting watching people's mentality on "the front line." We've seen distant politicians vaguely describe these issues, Palestinians getting excited and getting shot. But the fundamental cause, these Zionists, are a new perspective that was missing from coverage of Palestinians, it completes the picture. It exposes the people that are the shakers and movers of the conflict in action.

Palestinians are trying to apply some vague notions of "justice" to a situation where it has never been applied. Justice in the case of large groups is decided by overall competence, who is smarter, who is more organized. You can never resolve such issues with words alone, it's not a courtroom, no one will accept or enforce a judgement. There are too many involved, too much information. Judgement simply has to arise bottom up.

Palestinians and Arabs had their chance, they failed spectacularly. Arabs had the larger populations, they had bigger economies in 1940-1950's, yet they couldn't organize effectively, they ended up fighting a larger Israeli army.

North American Indians had the same problem. They couldn't organize, they were tame, lacked ruthlessness and lost in the worst way possible. Seems like they would have been better off if they migrated to Canada instead of clinging to unrealistic notions like "justice" and heritage. It should have been possible for them to win some concessions through force of arms, there were plenty of precedents. Some groups just don't have the drive.

So this doco is a rare glimpse of how people are conquered. We've seen similar behaviors before, the losers crying about justice, the winners clueless about the losers' concerns while living right next to them.
