That is why we have the problems we have. I have perfect sympathy with Israel's right to exist within recognised borders. However, it has not recognised the displacement and dislodgement of people who have been put into an area. I recognise the Jewish people have had huge hurts and grievances historically — above all in the mid-20th century. However, it has not accepted the harm caused by displacement. There are certain parallels with the plantation of Ulster 400 years ago.
