So give them a solution they’ve never thought of before. I’m sure your internet degree is sufficient to convince them.
Everyone likes to preach about how it’s wrong to do the thing they’re doing, but nobody EVER has an alternative that will actually work, or hasn’t been tried before.
I don’t have a solution, and THIS certainly isn’t it, but then I’m not dragging a soapbox around with me.
Go give the IRA a better solution. Go give the American colonists a better solution against the redcoats. Give the poor of france a better solution during the French revolution.
I don’t have a better way, but don’t pretend like you do
A better way was offered at Camp David in 2000. Arafat walked away from the table without making a concrete counter-offer. Israeli PM Barak offered deeply unpopular and unprecedented concessions. Saudi prince Bandar described not accepting the deal or negotiating further as criminal. Arafat won popularity when he walked away.
That is just one incident in a long and complicated history, but the point is that there’s more than enough blame to go around and there were other options.
Time and again, both parties chose to continue further down this road. They’ll likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I say likely, because that isn’t even the worst case scenario. Israel’s government is arguably borderline far right now, so it’s not impossible that this will all escalate so much that there one way or another, it’s ‘resolved’ through outright violence.
So give them a solution they’ve never thought of before. I’m sure your internet degree is sufficient to convince them… I don’t have a better way, but don’t pretend like you do.
I am not claiming I have a solution. Far from it. I am in no position of authority or influence. In fact, it’s not my responsibility to fix the conflict. I am merely condemning the assault, rape, and murder of innocent people. I do not believe there is any justification for this.
