I watched the documentary this week on BBC2 made by Louis Theroux on the Palestinian Israeli conflict. I find his programme making very interesting I like the way he approaches some subjects. But he covered the issues quite well last night.
The documentary was about the longest running conflict on earth and the way the cycle of hate between Palestinians and Israelis continues without any interruption and any hope of resolution.
It was ridiculous to see settlers taking over land in what the international community recognises to be Palestinian territory perhaps the Israeli government should be more forceful when imposing the rule of law?
I know for a fact that the great majority of those on both sides would like to live in peace and harmony and have no doubt that the average 20 year old on either side would prefer to do normal things that an average (whatever that means) 20 year old does rather than be drafted in the army for years but the constant recycling of violence and hatred prevents everyone, especially the Palestinian population, from ever getting fair treatment or justice. The meaningful recognition of a workable Palestinian state by Israel is a must and a priority with the international community helping to develop the new state.
