    The Palastinian do need a hopeland. They should have been given one in 1948, but that didn't happen.

    It should happen and if Isreal dosn't agree that is unfortunate. It is the right thing to do.

    The Pope should stay out of politics.

    The Palestinians didnt get in 48 because they didnt accept a deal.
    One was offered.

    They havent accepted any deal since.

    As far as the Pope, he's a bit late.
    Everyone has been calling for a Palestinian state.

    It is up to them to make a deal and accept it.

    Problem is they want the land the Jews already have, this issue won't be solved with a Palestinian homeland either, it'll cool down for a few years and then they will start throwing rocks and launching rockets over something else
