Re: Utopia

Turkey is not European. Most of it is situated in what used to be called "Asia minor" in Latin. It's people and culture are Central Asian, it's predominant religion Middle Eastern. Also, I haven't experienced a border control in a very long time when travelling through Europe. Granted, Russia not included so far, but we're progressing towards that end. But Your whole argument is missing the point. In Europe, it's one people, one country. In geographic "Palestine", it's now two peoples on the same stretch of land. How do You want to split the country, when thousands of Palestinian refugee families will reclaim their estates in Israel which they still hold titles to, like Jewish families reclaim their estates unrightfully depropriated by the Nazis? The world won't accept a deportation of Palestinians, and a Palestinian state on fragments of the West Bank (like the "home lands" of South Africa) won't be able to sustain itself. You're stuck with the Palestinians, face it, and You'd better be working towards a peace that works for both sides, as the geopolitical conditions (U.S. superiority) that so far guarantee the existance of the state of Israel may change in the future. For my part, I honestly hope You're going to be succesful with it.
