Can We Expect Peace Between Israel & Palestinians?

Israelis Palestinian issue has been a burning for more than half of a century. It led to several large scale and limited wars in twentieth and twenty first centuries. After being disowned from their territory Palestinians have been struggling to attain their statehood in whatever the territory they were left with. But they could not achieve that goal due to policies of Israel. Palestine conflict is one of such issues that reveal the failure of the entire civilized world to help them reach a settlement.


The western world led by U.S along with some support in the Arab countries is bent upon compelling Iran from acquiring nuclear technology but the Palestinian issue seems less significant to them. At times the lip service is made against Israel expansionist policies but they never talk of isolating Israel by implementing sanctions against it. How can Palestinians expect peace with Israel when the whole of their nations stands behind their leadership in carrying out the illegal construction? Does Israel really want peace with Palestinians? What should be the role of international community for protecting the rights of Palestinians? If U.S. can launch a whole scale diplomatic campaign for paving the way to impose further sanctions against Iran than what should U.S. do for Palestinians? Is it not the failure of those leaders who talk of global governance and ignore the sufferings of people like Palestinians or Kashmiris?

  1. Peace is a gift,
    It is a gift we give to ourselves,
    And then to each other.
