If I am being completely honest, based on what I have learned about Israel-Palestine relations I think that it is somewhat unrealistic for us to believe that there are any prospects for a peaceful and sustainable resolution to the conflict. The truth of the matter is that the relationship between the two is so deeply rooted and holds so much conflict within that I believe it would take something\u00a0big\u00a0<\/em>to even come close to a resolution. What would truly be important is for both sides to be willing to find a way that would resolve this long-standing rivalry, which I believe is pretty unlikely. In order for this to happen, both Israel and Palestine would have to be willing to put a long history of conflict behind them, which is not necessarily an easy thing to do.<\/p>\n

When we had first started to talk about Israel-Palestine relations, I found myself being overly optimistic as I thought it was much simpler to come to a resolution than it really is. As we dove further and further into their very complicated past and the many factors that play into it, I developed what we discussed as being the realist approach to the situation.<\/p>\n

When we discussed possible resolutions in class, Kristin and I discussed that we do not believe that this relationship will get anywhere without a big act of violence that would really shake things up and force agreement upon them. I feel that this way of thinking is plausible for any relationship that is so deeply driven by conflict and disagreement.<\/p>\n

Having said that, I, along with many of my classmates (I would hope) in no way wish violence and terrorism upon the Israeli and Palestinian people. That being said, I do still believe that having been at a sort of standstill for so long, it would be improbable for any change to erupt without a big event forcing it upon the two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
