DP #10: Jesus' Stand on Palestine and Israel

Jesus would solve the issue between Israel and Palestine by dividing the land as equally as possible, as viewed through a 3rd party. Jesus would give the Palestinians their fair share of the land, meaning give them the same percentage of land as equal to their population percentage, as well as land that is fertile and prime for farming. After reviewing many of Jesus' actions, and the people he supported during his time, I believe he would look at the situation as a by-stander, but take great sympathy with the Palestinians, and help them get the land that was theirs to begin with back. Of course, there is no simple answer to this ever complicating problem, and even Jesus would have trouble solving it, but he would try to be as fair and level headed as possible.
