21. Cycle of Violence

I don't see an end to it, either.

The idea of the 2-state solution is that Palestine will be a sovereign nation, not integrated into Israel.

But that won't happen with settlements and connecting roads slicing & dicing the West Bank.

I'm with you on religion. The three Abrahamic faiths ostensibly worship the same God. Jerusalem should be an international city of peace and brotherhood, but it's been the focus of intense violence for millennia, every warring faction believing that God is on their side.

No need to cast a curse upon their houses. It was laid upon them a long time ago.
