violence won't work here

dear isreal (i.e. isreali state dept),
you cannot kill an ideology by killing a person. you have the right to defend yourself, but what you did yesterday was unproductive.

dear palestine (i.e. hamas),
you cannot force change by killing innocent civilians. wise up.

Very wise, my friend. It's what I've been saying all along, and I'm surprised so few people say anything similar.

All I hear is either:
"Palestinians (and all Arabs/Muslims) are terrorists. It's just part of their culture. All they want to do is fight and that's all they've ever done."

or

"Death to Israel. End the "occupation." Stop the "genocide." Israel will pay for killing so many innocent Palestinians."

And all I have to say to either perspective is "blah, blah, blah. Grow up. Get over nationalism real quick or at least try some sort of passive resistence (more effective) or we'll all end up dead. You assholes."

I really believe that the Isreali/Palestinian conflict will always be a stalemate, regardless of the type of resistance Palestine employs. Both sides feel that they are entitled to the land. Both want it all, and no "roadmap" will ever be able to deliver that---at least not in this zero-sum game. It's really sad :(
