What are the legal precedents for the establishment of either entity through all their myriad of manifestations?
restate of question, please.


What is the sensible process to resolution?
if the resolution what you are talking about is peace between arab and jew, then i think that if the arabs would lay down all arms against israel, accept israel as a country, we would do the same, and maybe even thrive together as allies.

What are the stumbling points in that process?
not all arabs dont want peace, not all jews want peace, a war-minded palestinian government, aka hamas who likes to throw rockets into israeli cities, israeli planes bomb hamas strong points, which just happen to be in civilian areas.

What is the legal standing of those objections that are the stumbling points ?
both arabs and jews say that its our homeland, arab say that we were there before the jews and how the jews kicked them out, jews say that we conquered it, the UN gave it to us as a home after the Holocaust, and we bought a lot of the land from the arabs.

How is bombing or rocket attacks going to alter those stumbling points ?
they dont- just make it worse. if both sides could stop, then we could get past the stumbling blocks.

i hope i understood your questions correctly-just my opinions.
