Israel-Palestine-Jordan
A Bloody Endless Peace
2014-07-11
...Every so often I am asked about a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian-Arab-Muslim conflict and the interrogators are baffled when I tell them that there is no solution.

"No solution at all? But there has to be a solution. What of all the moderate voices of goodwill? What of all the mothers who only want to raise their children to sing happy songs about peace? What about all the old soldiers who are tired of war? What if we get them all in a room to shake hands and pose for photos? Then won't there be peace?"

As society has become more progressive, it has become progressively more difficult to explain even even to intelligent people that the world simply does not work that way.

#5  Thomas Sowell had a column entitled “Primer on Race.” The gist of the column was: “"Please do not do any more good in my country, we have suffered too much already from all the good that you have done." Although, the column was slanted towards the efforts of Progressives to “help” blacks in the U.S., the theme is also applicable to the peace mongering by the Progressives in the Mideast. Sowell column: Sowell column. The Yiddish word “nudnick” comes to mind with regards to these efforts. A nudnick is a boring, annoying pest who won’t leave things alone, they end up being control freaks who hair up the butter (paraphrased)and making things worse than they were.
