It was pointless to imagine France and England would ever put aside their differences... until they did. It was pointless to imagine France and Germany putting aside their differences... until they did. I remember when I was young people said The Troubles would never end. I was told the war in Yugoslavia would go on forever.

People can put aside their differences. There is a Palestinian movement in Gaza that wants peace. Israel in the past has tried to make land for peace deals, but guys like Yasser Arafat fucked it up.

There is a willingness for peace on both sides, it's just the leadership needs to change.

I mean, some of the current Israeli cabinet assassinated a prime minister to scuttle a peace deal. Let's not pretend one side has had worse faith than another continuously over many generations, because that's fairly impossible.

You might be reading too much into what I wrote. Saying it’s a pointless discourse is not the same as saying that I believe a peaceful resolution is forever impossible.
