So that’s kind of the Yugoslavia solution, right? I’d agree, that would do the trick, but I’d like to point out there’s still pockets of Serbians that think what they did was cool. Putting the onus on one side of the current conflict - and the far less powerful side - to smarten up beforehand seems unfair. That’s how your initial comment read.

In a sense it is similar, I am not as familiar with that situation. That is always a major issue after extended ethnic conflicts unfortunately. I can see how my initial comment could be interpreted that way only when taken out of the context of the conversation "There is issues on the Palestinian side of the conflict that need to be resolved for lasting peace".

I’m actually pretty hopeful about the feasibility of ending the cycle. Human history is full of ethnic conflicts, and especially recent human history is full of the sides maintaining an uneasy peace afterwards. People might hate, but they want to live in safety far more; this specific conflict is still ongoing because one side has been empowered to do both.

I am hopeful as well, especially considering the history of conflicts like these maintaining that uneasy peace you brought up. Hopefully the greater international community will step in and do what needs to be done before it is too late to resolve the situation.
