JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - THE PROBLEM BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIANS : NO WAY OUT ???? PART 5.

 

It would not necessarily bring an end to the conflict, since the external forces which are aiding and abetting, manipulating and empowering the Israelis and the Palestinians.  

Are probably more powerful than they are. It is one of those tragic situations in which the people who are doing the real suffering, are only being partly seen and appreciated as real living humans. 

Instead of as pawns, as tools and means to an end; an end which is not necessarily theirs or that which they desire or have chosen for themselves.

So, it is the case that, any solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict, will need to address the interests of the irresistible outside forces which have been playing probably a decisive role in keeping it going.

Much has been said about the 'two state solution' for bringing the conflict to an end; at least, much has been said in the past. 

However, as time progresses or passes, it is abundantly clear that having a Palestinian state and an Israeli state within the framework of the lands on which the Palestinians and the Israelis now live. 

Would not result in a feasible or viable solution. At least, the state of Israel would continue to compromise the viability, independence and sovereignty of the Palestinian state. 

Quite literally, the state of Israel would put the state of Palestine to sword whenever it, the SoI, perceives the SoP to be posing a risk or threat to its security. 

In a nutshell, if there were to be a state of Israel and a state of Palestine, then, the latter would become, by de fault as well as design, the subordinate of the two.

Alternatively, if there were to be a unitary state, probably a federalised one.  Representing and becoming the home of both Jews, Arab Palestinians and Christians, then, such a state would have greater viability.
