Is PEACE possible?

I have been thinking over the last couple days...is peace possible in the Middle East? Or, is the best one can hope for a temporary detante? There is a general myth in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that somehow there was a peaceful coexistence of Muslims and Jews for centuries, under Muslim rule. Hell, I was taught that in Hebrew School by a ZIONIST teacher. The truth, however, is quite different. The truth is that there never was real peace in the Middle East between Jews and Muslims. In fact, to the extent there ever was peace, it was because Jews accepted their status as "dhimmi," or a non-believer, accorded second class status. They accepted paying crippling non-believer fees, and having to relocate when they were told to relocate, at the behest of Muslm rulers. They were never able to take comfort in even owning their own property. Then there is the myth that somehow all was peaceful, until the "Zionist settlers came in and stole land." The Jewish Virtual Library (an invaluable source), documented each wave of Jewish immigration to the Holy Land, and it is clear that in fact the settlers had many obstacles to overcome even to be allowed entry, and NEVER had the opportunity to just STEAL LAND. In other words, they purchased land lawfully. This link, provided by Steven, further explains things. Another myth is that there was no terrorism against the settlers until they "stole" land from the Palestinians. This is in fact a LIE. Modern terrorism started merely when Jews moved to Israel, in the hopes of driving Jews OUT, and the attack on Hebron, a city that had Jews living there continuously since recorded history, is proof that the attacks were not just against settlers, but rather were against Jews as a people. One myth that gets screamed about quite often is how "Palestinians are suffering for the wrongs of the Germans." The myth is that Palestinians are the innocent puppy dogs who had their land stolen from them as recompense for the Holocaust with the 1947 UN Declaration of Israeli statehood. This could not be further from the truth. In addition to decades of Palestinian terrorism against settlers, they also were led by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, a man who was personal friends of Hitler, and recruited 20,000 Palestinian Arabs to work for the German SS, to engage in killing of Jews in Croatia and Hungary. In other words, the Palestinians took part in killing Jews during the Holocaust and are NOT innocent bystanders to the Holocaust. This all happened prior to Jews having their own state in Israel. In short - there never really was a time of "peaceful coexistence." This is a MYTH. And since the creation of Israel, there have been continuous border attacks and terrorism aimed at Israel's destruction. I guess I am a realist. Given the history of Jewish-Muslim relations, how can we really expect that things will change now? If there never has been peace in the past, how can we expect there can be peace in the future unless there is a MASSIVE change in the culture? Yet, with each passing year the Palestinian victim mythology and lengths they go to in their terror against Israel only increases in intensity, not decreases. Things seem to be getting WORSE, not better. Is peace possible? Under what conditions are peace possible? And is peace possible within my lifetime? (I am in my 20s) I am doubtful about that...
