It is absurd that people are dying over such a miserable piece of real estate. Israel has a right to exist AND the Palestinians are entitled to their own state.
The land issue would have been settled long ago if it weren’t for the religious fanatics on both sides, the misguided efforts of the U.S. Israel lobby, the weakness and shortsightedness of several U.S. administrations, and out old friends in the weapons business.

The Real Frank Zappa Book, s. 322

Jeg minnes også om et annet Zappa-sitat i denne forbindelse:

Without deviation (from the norm), progress is not possible.
