This is fucking ridiculous. A decades old conflict between the Palestinians and Israel over some frigging land. If it was just them, I’d say the hell with it. Let them kill other off… who gives a shit. But no. The conflict drags in other countries, most notably the U.S., obviously an Israeli ally. By being involved, the U.S. further damages its image in the Arab world, and potentially stirs up more terrorism activity. If the world was a playground, and Israel and Palestine were a couple of fighting little boys, the world powers, like parents, would probably let them fight for a little bit. But if things got out of hand, and it threatened to spill over into something more serious, the “parents” would step in and create order.

“Ok Tommy and Jimmy, that’s enough. Now you boys either share your toys, or learn how to play with your own toys. Tommy, you stay on your side of the room and Jimmy, you stay in yours. Now not a peep out of either of you!”

If Israel and the Arabs want to squabble over every little detail… let them. It’s technically none of our business. But if the conflict threatens to escalate and turn into full-scale war, then intervene. But again, this intervention would ideally come from an international consortium of nations with power. If NATO or the UN had some balls and real power, they could step in and say… “Ok now this is how we’re going to resolve this problem once and for all.” And a settlement would be reached and enforced.

I know I know… this is all fantasy. But isn’t it tiresome to have two countries going at it on and off for decades on end, for the same fucking reasons? Don’t these idiots have the capability to resolve their differences diplomatically? Again... it's no one elses business if they can't... but the escalation usually ends up threatening world peace. What a crock of shit.
