Dear Ipso Fatso,

«The conflict in that area has been going on for a LOOONG time.
It has become a part of normal everyday life.»

The only conflict in that area is between extremist Jewish+Muslim terrorists on one side and normal moderate people on the other.

It is in the extremists' political interest to stage a Jewish-Arab "conflict" so they gain power by sowing fear and hate in their own respective countries. Without it, should peace prevail, so they fear, then both countries would respectively lose their Jewish/Muslim character.

Neither the moderates of each side have any conflict between them, nor the extremists who must be covertly coordinated and laughing together in their show of "enmity". Pity you too fall for their pretense.

«One wonders if they would happy living in peace.»

People will live happily in peace once they stop believing that propaganda which claims that there is a conflict.

How could a non-existent conflict ever end?

Yuyutsu. You are correct in claiming only a tiny minority of extremists want this conflict and endless bloodshed, as it suits their agenda, i.e., endless expansion of Israel. And Mr. Singer, I believe, is clearly one of the aforementioned.

Dear Alan B.,

«as it suits their agenda, i.e., endless expansion of Israel. And Mr. Singer, I believe, is clearly one of the aforementioned.»

Erroneously, they don't truly even care about expanding Israel - well they say they do, that is on their flag, but what they really want to achieve by that is to take over Israel then subdue and enslave and/or expel its moderate Jewish population, bringing Israel back to the dark ages like their Taliban brothers in Afghanistan. They don't really have an issue with Arabs or Muslims, only with Jews who do not follow their ideology.

As for that "Mr. Singer", there is no such person - machines have no agenda, it is just a computer-program comprised of some combination of 0's and 1's!
