Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, the Vaticans number two State Department official, called Sept. 27 for a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in remarks delivered in New York, according to Catholic News Agency. He insisted that if we want peace, courageous decisions have to be made. Archbishop Mamberti, whose official title is Secretary for Relations with States, encouraged the realization of the right of Palestinians to have their own independent and sovereign state, and the right of Israelis to guarantee their security. He also insisted that both states be provided with internationally recognized borders.

It isnt working. Its been 34 years and it will never work. The Palestinians want the Israelis dead. So, heres an out-of-the-box idea. Buy a huge but largely deserted chunk of Africa. Offer the natives relocation. Then, pay the Palestinians to move. Make it too good an offer not to take. Call it a land swap. Then, move by force the remaining fanatics who are only staying to make Jihad.
Subsidize the whole thing for 10 years with a declining payment each year. It will be expensive. Nobody will like it. But, it will be better than lukewarm war for the rest of eternity.

Salim Manarious, a retired former school headmaster, believes there will be a sovereign Palestinian state in his lifetime. I believe it because Im a Palestinian, the 72-year-old Orthodox Christian said"Manarious would find out pretty quickly that being "Palestinian" (a made-up ethnicity) won't count for much for those who are not Muslim there. Perhaps he's thinking that an independent Palestine would be as tolerant as Israel is. Heh heh.

Yes, and I'm sure if there ever is a Palestinian state, the Hamas-run government will welcome the Palestinian Christians with open arms.
Do I need a sarcasm tag?

These people are too stupid to realize an independent Palestine will be an Islamo-Fascist State, and Christians will be wiped out.

I think “Palestinian Christians” should probably be changed to read”Palestinian Dhimmis and Stockholm Syndrome sufferers...”

The position of the Catholic Church is completely in step with the stated position of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
