I know but i seriously wish there was a way to end all these boring primordial habits of ours and focus on stuff that matters, as a collective humanity.

I don't think we can ever change as a species to that extent while still being ourselves. The instincts that sit at our core have been there for hundred thousand years or so.

Why should I provide your means of transport? Did the person you bought your home from provide you transport as well? You're getting so much extra land! You figure out how to make it useful. Sure seems like you don't actually want it if you need me to subsidize you by billions of dollars to use it. Maybe it's not a great deal? Maybe there's a reason why the Israelis and Palestinians are fighting over that land instea…

Yeah that’s the whole problem really. It’s not arbitrary land they’re fighting over. It’s that land and it can be no other land. I don’t know how it resolves in any way we find tasteful by modern standards.

Moreover, even if the land wasn't perceived to be special, you can't uproot an entire society without forced ethnic cleansing. It is impossible to get all X million people to agree to that without force.

Says Netanyahu: To the citizens of Gaza, I say. You must leave now. We will target each and every corner of the strip.” Edited to remove false quote

How do they leave?

They can’t, Israel imposes a blockade on their movement across the borders.

So does Egypt. It's not only the Israelis who are afraid of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Yeah right? Like you could gift either side the equivalent or even double acerage of California or some other prime real estate in the Mediterranean or anywhere else on the planet and it wouldn't make a difference, God wills each side to have that land, each one has ancestors who laid claim to those specific hills for hundreds of years.
