The part of my statement I ..'ed out I freely admitted was not based
strongly on firm fact, but on sideways hearsay.  But I must object
to the above statement.  I have heard many reasonable Semites of both
families say this is possible.  I have also heard Arabs boast that
they will drive the Israelis into the sea, and that they will never
negotiate with Israelis.  And I have seen Israelis launch punitive
strikes into Arab territory with less justification (to my knowledge)
than Reagan in Libya (speaking of which).  There is so much gratuitous
hatred between the children of Israel and those of Ishmael that I
think that the true representative view (hopefully) of just wanting
to get along in life may never be realised.  The only way it can be,
perhaps, is to send the most zealous and adventurous members of both
groups out to separate space colonies ... and let the meek inherit
(co-existentially) the Earth.
