    Why not? I can only think of one difference, and that’s race.

    LOL, what? That sounds like a you-problem, not a me-problem. You do realize that Jews and Palestinians are both Semites, right? You also realize that European have killed more Jews than all of the rest of the world combined, right? Also, in the case pf Ukraine, you may recall that Aryan types despise Slavs just as much as Jews. What you are suggesting makes no sense. It’s a meme, not an analysis.

    Also, I wouldn’t necessarily suggest the Israeli-Palestinian incremental two-state process for Taiwan-China, North Korea-South Korea, Sudan, Ethiopia-Eritrea, Yemen-Saudi, or any of the other dozens of global conflicts involving any combination of races and ethnicities. Oh wait, wait, wait, I’ve got a good one. Tell me about how I prefer the UK in the UK-Argentina Falklands dispute because the British are ever so slightly more Nordic looking, on average, than Argentinians, and not because Argentina is an economic and political basket case and was ruled by a military junta during the Falklands War.

    You’ve got some serious blinders on, my friend, if you see the world through so narrow and reductive a lense. Reducing the whole world to shades of brown vs. shades of pink or tan is not a good way to understand the world. It also makes it difficult to have anything like a good-faith debate.
