The problem isn't room, it's resources and logistics. Not to mention the Islamic ME isn't culturally monolithic. And why should Palestinians be expected to give up the lands they've lived in for generations?

Of all countries in the middle east, only 1 thinks favorable about Israel.

Which 36 countries matter enough to be on the short list? 
Last time I counted there were about 195 of us.

What do you think putting Netanyahu in jail on his corruption charges would actually achieve politically? -- if the leaders replacing him still support settlement expansion and annexation in one form or another, what meaningful change do you imagine follows?

This is one of the more insidious aspects of liberal democracy. Every few years (or 20, in this case), the individual at the top of the power structure becomes the sin eater for the entire structure. No change actually takes place. Sure, a substantial amount of the public doesn’t want to upset that structure, but for those that do, all that anger and motivation and potential for change is diffused into electing the next individual.

Because they haven't . Palestinians are a made up construct by he ottomans then British empire. Most people were forced to move continuously in the middle east for 100s of years. Between ww1 and ww2 there was race volition and attack on both sides to there new homes

the UK sanctions are part of a multi country sanctions taking place that 11 other countries are involved in.

.. to take place in 6/9 months  , imo not fast enough and not enough sanctions.

imo we should have full sanctions any countries at war that have magic sky fairy (religious) elements to them or are not overseas UK territories, i am tired of seeing my country get involved in other peoples shite that has nothing to do with us.

No. You have to sanction usa, and most other nations if that was the case. Never picture you as an isolatest.

Then you are either lying or don't know the first thing about the region you didn't learn from right wing propaganda. And should "relocate" out of America.
