Can Israelis and Palestinians just pretend that they love each other?
How can you pretend? Israelis are not false.Arabs have always hated the Jews, its not Israel thats causing all the hate.Hated has existed for centuries, well before the rise of the modern State of Israel. Rather than Israel being the cause of hate, it is more likely that the distorted media coverage of Israeli policies is reinforcing latent anti-Semitic and hated views. As writer Leon Wieseltier observed, “the notion that all Jews are responsible for whatever any Jews do is not a Zionist notion.

Even in Belgium, a modern western country, and the home of the EU, that is very problematic, so here, where there is much more tension between the two groups, I don’t see it happening. I think it should have been two states since the UN declaration of 1947. And it’s not a stupid question.
