Israel/Palestine … endless

The United States is not the only country whose heartless right wing fanatics are destroying their own country. Netanyahu’s Israel is committing war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, says former Israeli Prime Minister, Olmert. The result is devastating to Israel. 

I have never wanted to pay much attention to the endless Israeli – Palestinian “conflict” because it is hard for me to spend a lot of mental time on it. This has been going on since I first paid attention in 1967.  Somewhere between sickening and tiresome. 
 
To me, any time anyone thinks of Israel/Palestine starting with the present and looking back in time, all you get is the reason for one side to kill those on the other side. It’s endless. 
 
To me, the only way to think about Israel/Palestine is to start with the present and look forward with one and only one goal and that is a goal of peaceful living, and the only future that has peaceful living is a fair and equitable two state solution.  
 
Hamas is at fault, of course, and Iran is at fault, of course, and Netanyahu’s entire career has been to prevent a two-state solution. So…it goes on, and on, and on….bloodthirsty, evil...
 
Ireland managed to walk away from the horrors of endless religious blood feuds.  I can only hope for the same for this little piece of land in the Middle East.
