"The Israeli/Palestinian standoff is not an area where rational thought is much rewarded. The Israelis seem content to play jailer to a restive, belligerent and growing population of 4.5 million Palestinians jammed into the West Bank and Gaza. It is a failure of empathy on Israel’s part, which I’d fault them for more except it is enlightened benevolence compared to the Palestinians, nearly a third of whom elected a terror group, Hamas, to lead them, which makes their cries of injustice ring hollow. If Israel is locked in the outdated land-equals-security calculus, Palestinians keep returning to the same tattered 1947 game plan — we fight you and win everything someday — that has been losing consistently for the past 67 years. "
You can pretty much summarize the whole problem in that paragraph. Problem is, it takes two to tango, and these two don't want to tango not even for a shotgun wedding.
