  1. I'd expect more relativistic explanations from this forum regarding this conflict. Answers that sounds like: countries are social constructions. This conflict is so polarising and people online seem to resort to president Bush's logic for the Iraq war: either you're with us or against us e.g supporting the (oppressors)= pro Palestinian or support Hamas (terrorist) Pro-Israeli. It is off-putting with both parties self-righteous attitude to "their land". A solution I'd prefer is if China or Hispanic would take over.
  2. As an outsider looking in into the Middle East, I don't think any country would be successful under that environment by being nice. All the genocidal shit that goes on there, and all sides try to convince that the other side is "evil". Think about it, since the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire all the genocides, coercion, slavery and war. Yes the Middle East was the last place to reluctantly ended slavery, by pressure from the west. I personally feel that the humanitarian situation in Yemen is more urgent and extreme, but Isreal-Palestine just stirs up more emotions and feeling by most parties around the world because of Israel's controversial presence in the Middle East.
