Sorry to say, but you russians are day dreaming. They have no capacity for settling down in PEACE and build a civilized world for themselves and so this it will never happen! You should know better, after watching them for 60 years. Meanwhile, Israel is already doing it, in spite of all.

@devy you sound jewish to me. Anyway the Palestinians are very intelligent. Look around the world and you see Palestinian presidents and prime ministers, mayors, scientists (including nuclear), doctors, financial, businessman, famous musicians, poets and artists, etc., etc. This is the reason why israel failed to quiet the Palestinians. Any other group of people would have already disappeared but Palestinians have been able to pull it off even when the all of the west was against them and allowed israel to create. The west thinks that the wars of the mid 1900's were won by israel, but the truth is the war has always continued but in different fashions over the last 60 years. israel has tried to keep the Pals in a hidden basement somewhere but has so far failed. All other stuff aside, I am intrigued by these people.
