I am old enough to remember the ME conflict over 50 years ago. Rather than resolve the dispute like civilized people, the arabs first response was terrorism. Blowing up school buses filled with kids, markets etc. That really poisoned the well and public opinion. Even IF they had had a legitimate case no one was willing to hear it because that would be giving in to terrorists. Fifty years later arab terrorism hasn’t stopped, its gone international. The problem with Israel’s policy is that they have used a tit for tat strategy. The ME has been in stalemate for over fifty years. The key to ending a conflict is crushing decisive victory, one that leaves no doubt in your opponents that they have been defeated. One that compels them to beg for peace. Unfortunately the west no longer strives for such victorys which is why we haven’t really won a war since WWII.

The globalists in our own country are fine with that.
