Why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is so hard to resolve | Mapped Out

Amid the latest escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict following the terrorist attacks on Israel by Hamas and Israel's subsequent bombardment of the Gaza Strip, one possible answer that keeps resurfacing is what's known as the two-state solution. The decades-long conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands of people and negotiators have failed time and again to break the deadlock. We take a look at the two-state solution and other ideas that have been proposed by experts and the international community and explore: what makes the conflict so complex?

I am Polish. When our neighboring countries attacked us and divided our land among them in the 18th century, we disappeared from the map for a 100 years. We lived under the occupation of three different countries at once. We fought back. And we are on the map again. They apologized. The wounds are still there but we live in relative peace. And I wish it for both Palestinians n Israelis.

This is basically what happens when a blood feud reaches the national scale. Even if they've reached a ceasefire agreement, a splinter group that really hates the other party would emerge and strike the other one, regardless of collateral damage. The other party would strike back causing collateral damage as well, fanning the flames again, combine that with other factors, like who gets certain pieces of territories of interests to them and that cycle would continue.

There are other parts of the world where people live in the same community while not having the same religion, particularly in the east, where non-theist and polytheist religions coexist and flourish. It seems to me that the root of the problem is with monotheistic religions, and exacerbated when two of them collide in the same territory. As is common in human beings, religion is one's way of coping with their own death, by denying it, by creating an idea of immortality and following it devoutly. When you say: mine is the only God, you are condemning everyone who doesn't believe in it and it's their problem, but when someone else says that theirs is the only God, they are condemning you, they are not only attacking your religion, because such a claim cannot be true for both religions, but they are attacking your idea of immortality, therefore they are attacking your life, as Ernest Becker suggests in The Denial of Death. If both religions were to come out and acknowledge and embrace the existence of the other, they could live and die in peace next to each other.
