The belief in a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian or Arab-Israeli conflict persists like a demonic possession. Those who believe Israel essentially confronts an ongoing siege, religiously rooted in Islam, adduce evidence for that view overwhelming rates of anti-Semitism in every Arab country, Nazi-style anti-Semitic propaganda and imagery throughout the Arab world, majorities of Palestinians saying they favor suicide bombings and the dissolution of Israel, and so on.
But for true believers in a peaceful solution, evidence does not avail. Whether motivated by an impatience with Israel s existence (possibly tinged with anti-Semitism) and its perceived costs for Western stability and profits, or by naivete and reality denial, some remain unimpressed even by the dire outcomes of Israel's recent attempts at bilateral or unilateral pacification. It makes no difference that those results include drastically increased bloodshed and poverty and the rise of a fundamentalist Palestinian government tightly linked to the world jihadist movement. Some still act as if the conflict is a squabble between two morally equal sides equally longing for its peaceful termination.
Notable among the deniers is the International Crisis Group (ICG), which describes itself as an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation, with nearly 120 staff members on five continents, working through field-based analysis and high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict.

Let's see......NO.

The peaceful solution to the conflict will be when Zechariah 12-14 is fulfilled and Israel has the Biblical borders indicated by the Lord Almighty.
