Israeli and Palestinian Conflict: Endurace of a horizon
The bombardment — which marked one of the deadliest single days in the 60-year Israeli-Palestinian conflict — came after days of spiraling violence, with militants firing rockets and Israel vowing a fiery response. Israel hammered Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing at least 210 people in retaliation for rocket fire, in one of the bloodiest days of the decades-long Middle East conflict.
Israel wants to create a fresh crisis, just as the new President takes over in the US, which further delays the larger political resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli dispute. The attacks are also a continuation of the Israeli project of denying Palestinian rights while reinforcing the idea of supremacy of its army.
It seems like we would never see the end of the Conflict going on between the two countries: Israel and Palestine. As the periodic bloodshed continues in the Middle East, the search for an equitable solution must come to grips with the root cause of the conflict. The barbaric scene that we hear from newspapers or see on TV is result of snatching of thousand year old homeland of palestinians from the israelis. This was done without their consent and mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel. That is the root cause of all the grievance.
Over the years we have seen several peace initiative processes ensued between these two countries . Some of the prominent ones were
- Oslo peace process
- camp david 2000 summit
- Arab-peace-initiative
But, nothing seems to change the situation between these two countries. Lets hope that in coming few years we would see some solution to the ongoing war between these two countries.
