Each new generation starts off so naive and idealistic. It really is nice.
However...
Number of times I've heard "two-state solution for Palestine" mentioned in my lifetime: at least 1 million
Odds that the two-state solution will happen this time: asymptotically small
Every generation's idealism is broken on the anvil of the Land of Abraham. That is where we are most powerfully reminded that all the religions of Abraham are atrocious. Jews and Muslims kill each other over tiny scraps of land while Arab billionaires and hardcore Christians in the West fund them for their own ends. It is all a tragic farce that, in the end, is all based on a bunch of Bronze Age bullshit about the "Holy City" of Jersalem.
They're so naive to be against ethnic cleansing!
No, they are idealistic for being against ethnic cleansing, and naive to think that the situation in Israel is so simplistically categorized, and for thinking that their outrage will change the Middle East situation.
