Serendipity is Yet to Come

   In 1947, the United Nations gave the Jews a large part of Palestine. That was 67 years ago. Now, the Arab-Israeli war is ranked number 49 on Daniel Pipe's Middle East forum, with 51 thousand dead (and countless others injured). This rank may start to rise as present day events tie in; about two weeks after battling it out in Gaza, at minimum 150 Palestinian children were killed, and 32 young Israeli soldiers have died. Because of all these unsolved conflicts, Israel is starting to lose the support of countries outside of the US (yet America's support is readily available).
   Here is a daily tally of the shots fired in Israel and Gaza. By just browsing through the numbers, you can see the Palestinians are losing a lot of their people. Every day, the death toll fluctuates, but the Palestinian side hasn't dropped to zero recently. Meanwhile, the Israeli death count is staggeringly low in comparison, with numbers around three each day. 
   The current conflict in Israel is not exactly because of the three teens that went missing, though it has sparked riots in Jerusalem. These three teenagers were located in the West Bank, which is pretty much one of the biggest areas of tension within Israel. That's not good. 
   The above is an example of the violence raging in Israel. As a matter of fact, astronaut Alex Gerst has captured a picture of all this brutality from outer space. It looks really cool, but once you remember it's a snapshot of all the explosions happening, not so much...

To be honest, it reminds me of your brain and neurons and networks and the like....Never mind.

   In response to the kidnappings, Israel is firing more rockets than a few weeks ago. While investigating, the police also detained about ninety or so Palestinians. Looks like the Israeli government is getting slightly more tense.
   Several opinions have risen; there might not even be a proper resolution, as Daniel Barenboim says "there is no military solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is not a political conflict but a human one, between two peoples who share the deep and seemingly irreconcilable conviction that they are entitled to the same small people of land." As stated here, the one-state solution is not even a choice because it is just a recipe for disaster, while the two-state solution, which most of the world supports, is as terrible a choice.
   The one-state solution means the Jews and Arabs will be merged into a single state. All the citizens will have the same rights, yet this is intolerable to the Jews. Palestinian media communicates effectively how much they hate Jews. That being said, that's not a good thing to put into play.
   The two-state solution isn't all that great, either. It doesn't include merging into a single state, it includes negotiations. Not too sure about this. If you try to negotiate with someone who has already been bombed way more than enough, chances are they'll act like a huge amount of employees on strike. By employee, I mean a country who has bottled up all their anger and wants to throw that Molotov at the last second. 
   Personally, I'd wait it out a little longer (that is a really bad decision with all these people dying, I know) because another holocaust is a lot worse than waiting it out. The president has vetoed the two-state solution, which is slightly better than the former. Right now, nothing is actually looking too clear, for the president and Israel.

Hopefully the road to success isn't under construction....Which it is.
