Who are the Palestinian players at play?
The Israel-Palestine issue is an age-old one. The Palestinians originated as Arab-speaking Muslims under the former Ottoman Empire. They are also considered to have descended from Mamelukes or soldier-slaves of Egyptian Arabs. They are mostly Sunni Muslims and hope to reclaim the Gaza Strip and West Bank regions as their territory. They argue that their people have been residing in the region for centuries and the Israeli Jews can not make them vacate their land. However, their blood-spilling struggle against Israel has so far failed to win the Palestinians a formal territory of their own.

The right wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should urgently seek wise counsel from South Africa’s last President to preside over an apartheid administration, FW De Klerk.
After decades of self-delusion, De Klerk and his former white supremacists in the then Nationalist Party elected to come to terms with the inevitable eventuality – one man, one vote democratic order.
Just as almost 80% of the Palestinian land is occupied by apartheid-practicing Israel, South Africa occupied the entire Namibia and banished majority Black citizens (some 85%) to various pockets of Bantustans according to their ethnic groups.
