Exactly. Thank you. You’ll notice that I didn’t defend Israel in my comment either. I don’t think either side is morally blameless. There is no reason to choose one side or the other on the basis of morality. You can easily create a chain of reasoning similar to “Side A did X, because Side B did Y” all the way back to the beginning. There is no reason for a person to choose one side over the other besides personal preference or affiliation. In the case of governments, they choose a position based on geopolitical strategy.
That is precisely why it’s a neverending problem. So, what to do? Let them fight it out until one side gives up? Send in an international peacekeeping force? Have the security council impose a two-state solution? Currently, it appears that most of the world is okay with Option 1, for the time being at least.
