Israel/Palestine

(6,171 posts)Israel is a democracy that doesn't act like a democracy, it has the upper hand and the ability to solve the conflict but it doesn't - why? I know that the Israeli Prime Minister is a racist Hitler apologist f**kwit, but are there no other sane politicians who could do something? It's no use blaming the Palestinians for the I/P conflict, and the way to solve the conflict is less oppression, not more. As long as there are Palestinians who are oppressed by Israel in the occupied territories and there are Palestinian refugees with no home to go to, the conflict will continue. Palestinian terrorism is fueled by the causes of the conflict and won't be eradicated until the causes are gone.
I just don't believe that making the lives of angry and poor people worse will somehow make them more peaceful.
For the record - Netanyahu is a Hitler apologist:
Netanyahu blames Jerusalem mufti for Holocaust, is accused of absolving Hitler
