Query
Will this mutual savagery ever end? Is it hard baked into the psyches of the warring parties? Who actually benefits other than those who favor carnage over peace? Are the two sides in cahoots to keep the violence going as promotional advertizing for monetary and political profiteering?
In a world obsessed with warfare, vast military expenditures, brazen politicization of differing cultures with leaders reaping the greatest benefits and national economic planning featuring essential conflict as top waste of national budgets, is there any thing distinctive about the Israel-Palestinian conflict other than its seeming picayune pointlessness and emulation of great powers.
Most of Israel and Palestine are relatively peaceful most of the time, then there outbursts of violence seemingly facilitated by the two sides, or rather the leaders of the two.
What is the end game, nuclear armageddon between Jewish and Muslim faiths, mass murder of public gatherings, infrastructure destroyed of food, water, sanitation, health, a suicide of Masada scale, or worse without mind-warping precedent?
Promises of eventual victory have become hollow as nearly all wars propound and fail to deliver, except for the victims slain with relish by the professional executioners.
