Conflict Resolution with a focus on the Israel/Palestine Conflict?
I find it rather incredible that you have used the words "Conflict Resolution" with "Israel/Palestine conflict" in the same sentence. The only thing that stops me from saying let them fight on is that there will be a continual flow of new recruits flowing into the region as long as the two sides are afflicted with this sickness called religious fundamentalism. From the earliest times man has dreamed of life after death and from that superstition arose religious belief. At one time people and even baby's were sacrificed to appease the god of the day.
All religious spiritual belief is relative to the observer. But convincing someone afflicted with the sickness of this is often difficult. They need to be isolated for a time and deprogrammed.
