'........however the underlying issue is that its a religious war. Pure hatred is beneath this conflict which makes a resolution even more far off. Israel has a clear right to the land and to protect itself.'
This is not a religious war. It's a political war and needs a political solution.
Israel's leaders may think they can always rely on America to back them up but once America has no more oil interests in the Middle East/ a collapsing economy whatever.... she will drop them and Israel will have to come to terms with the Arabs but the accommodation will be more and more difficult the longer the conflict goes on.
How can it be in Israel's interest to be surrounded by hostile nations? Who benefits from the conflict? It is not in Palestinians' interests for this fighting to go on and it is certainly not in Israel's interests either. It may be in America's interest to have a base but even then I'm not too sure the benefits have outweighed the cost.
We/they have to find a way of giving the Israelis the ability to live peaceably and of giving Palestinians the ability to live peaceably.
That means giving each community protection and the opportunity to flourish.
Israel has to understand the injustice the Palestinian are suffering and the Palestinians have to understand the historical problems that Israel was founded to solve.
I'm sure that if America was prepared to subsidise Palestinians, in Israel and outside, economically in the same way as it subsidises the Israelis then the problems would go away. Historically you can understand why it was thought that the Jews needed a country of their own as they had been persecuted almost everywhere and refused entry into many countries in their hour of greatest need.
The Palestinians however should not have been made to suffer for the sins of Europeans elsewhere. If America had agreed to pour money into Israel for Palestinian housing, economy etc. (to compensate them for the arrival,) as well as the Israeli Jewish economy I guess the problem would not have arisen and they could both have lived together amicably, maybe even in the one country. It was shortsighted ( at least) to imagine that wholesale taking of land was not going to cause huge simmering resentment.
Heavens, we British had the not dissimilar example of Ireland to show us just what horrors, on both sides, this sort of injustice leads to. We're still trying to sort that one out hundreds of years after it began.
