While I am deeply empathetic to both Israelis and Palestinians in the current situation (especially civilians), I also feel like saying a pox on both sides.
The status quo is untenable and has gone on for too long - and, for all the current fingerpointing, governments and the political classes on both sides have a hand in that.
The replies to this comment show some of the emotion of the subject. But the point remains that there are those in government on both the Israeli and Palestinian sides who aren’t reasonable and aren’t willing to do things necessary for a real peace.
And to be clear, these comments go beyond the current situation. The lack of a permanent resolution is untenable - and in the 30 years since Oslo, there is plenty of blame to go around as to why there hasn’t been one.
