The trouble with Israel, as with Ireland, is that the side with the power is unwilling to give up enough to placate the other side, and the side with the grievances is unwilling to accept the status quo.
The fact that both sides are controlled by old men who fought and killed and probably saw their friends die makes it nigh on impossible for them to step back from the abyss.
And all the time people are dying.
As the British have found in Ireland, a so called peace keeping force merely maintains the position of mutual hatred.
Children are brought up to hate and then they do so.
Someone sometime has to stop the cycle of hatred.
I do not see anyone with either the desire or the influence to do so.
Perhaps Israel needs a womens' movement such as that in Ireland to even begin to look at solutions.
I am not hopeful.
