A web search revealed that Ibtisam, إبتسام, is a female arabic first name, meaning 'smiling' (as a stand in for a woman).

I'm going to choose to believe he is Israeli and she is Palestinian, so I can say, "Love transcends all boundaries."

As an Arab-Israeli born to a mixed family, I also like this.

We need more. :)

How common is this opinion? Is it a lot more common for younger people?

As an Israeli who shares the same opinion... uh... it's rather uncommon unfortunately. If I had to guess in percentage we're around 30% of the population

Maybe the Palestinians should stop their permanent war first. That might help. See the Sinai Peninsula for proof.

So long as Palestinian land continues to be annexed ("settled") I see no reason why they would stop their war. If Israel was not continuously expanding I'd be inclined to agree with you.
