Gaza Strike By Israel

This conflict is not ending in my lifetime or yours. Its too deep, its too intractable, and it has gone on for too long for any type of modern cease fire make peace date to be of any meaning.

It has to run its long course, where at some point both sides realize they are the same and a sense of revenge has worn itself out. That will take hundreds of years and probably more. The lowest common denominator in the society needs to be elevated to a higher place of understanding. What does it take to do that? Throw money on it, educate it, broaden it, probably none of these things specifically. It takes a change of mind and all we need to do is look at ourselves to see how incredibly difficult that task is. It requires, continuous dedicated attention and desire with a unrelenting goal of peace.
