‘More killing won’t bring back lost lives’: Tal Mitnick, 18, on going to prison instead of joining IDF
The first conscientious objector to be jailed in Israel since 7 October says ‘there is no military solution’ to the conflict
Looks like the people of Israel are fed up too.
Reality? There IS no viable, realistic solution to this quagmire, this insanity.
Both Hamas and Israel have guaranteed that at this point.
People in the West can cry and call for a "Two State Solution" and "Peace" all they want. It's not going to happen. It's bad enough that the polarization in the region has spread to the rest of the world as deep as it has, and people have just lapped up what their chosen side has done in the name of "defending ourselves". The West and closer regional powers have become "The Enabler" of all this insanity.
October 7th, and everything after, have proven two things: Hamas and it's allies and not as "weak" as Israel assumed they were (since Oct 7th was such a 'surprise') and will do anything to prevent Israel from having ANY sort of positive influence in the region, even if it could be positive. Second, Israel has become the monster they have always suffered from themselves. Like an abused child that in turn becomes an abuser. And it's belief about Palestinians are equally monstrous (animals, they deserve genocide, etc)
Even if they managed somehow to work up a ceasefire, it won't last. Someone will break it.
And because outside nations won't - and can't - afford to put in a multi-national peace force and wall off the region to keep anything resembling peace, this will be the continued reality.
Until, maybe, the youngest generation finally gets tired of the cycle and breaks it themselves, without relying on outsiders to help or hinder (again, like an abused kid breaking the cycle and not becoming the abuser). Until that desire is there, there won't be peace.
There certainly won't be peace when busybodies of the West have determined that somehow "they know better" all without paying attention and listening to the reality of things on the ground.
