Position: No position found  to the question "What are the solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?"
Reasoning:


"The great nation [France] ...herewith calls on you not indeed to conquer your patrimony; nay, only to take over that which has been conquered and, with that nation's warranty and support, to remain master of it to maintain it against all comers...
Now is the moment, which may not return for thousands of years, to claim the restoration of civic rights among the population of the universe which had been shamefully withheld from you for thousands of years, your political existence as a nation among the nations...
"

April 20, 1799,
"Letter to the Jewish Nation from the French Commander-in-Chief Buonaparte."
