A common question regarding Israel/Palestine...what is the solution?

 I found the following comment on a interview of Norman Finkelstein...

From @KelliLowrey:

"...would like to know how Jewish people are not considered indigenous to this land as well? Also, Norm is very book smart but what is his solution for this situation?"

My reply to Kelli...

Kelli, your statement is indicative of how Israel's status and policy are protected. Being indigenous and being exclusive are entirely separate things. The issue is not the former, entirely the latter. To ask about what is to be done has an obvious answer - to call into question the exclusivity and end it, yet it is never mentioned because it would mean change in what Israel is all about, what Israel fears most, that the state it is, is not legitimate. Therefor Israel will continue to do what it does by design: ethnic cleansing and apartheid running free. So it has always been but as of now it may not be true that so it shall always be. That all people are equally human is a powerful concept. Israel flouts it proudly, being in complete control, but ironically protected by the inequality Jews suffered in Europe 80+ years ago.
