The current conflict between Israel and Palestine has now been going on for a long time, some would say too long. With it going on for such a long time, the damage will potentially be permanent.

Some are saying it could last for as long as 10 years or even longer. Now that's a long time.

Is a two state solution part of the way forward or is there another option? I am not sure with the current situation going on for so long, but I try to remain optimistic with a two state solution.

Could there also be hope and forgiveness from both sides as a way forward for other reasons or will this current conflict be something that Israelis and Palestinians never move on from and hold on to for the rest of their lives?

After 40 generations of this idiocy, there can not be any believe left to think there'll be a chance of peace !
I'm ignorant about the real goings on but from what I see on display on a daily basis I can understand how Israel is trying to put a stop to it. Palestinians appear to be adverse to peace even outside the Middle East. The real problem is that their antics actually attract supporters among the soul-less Woke in the West !

Of course they will never "get on again" because they have never 'got on' before. This question demonstrates complete ignorance of what Islam is all about.

Israel manufactures terrorists, when it denies due process.
Israel manufactures anti-semites when it denies the truth.
Israels Wars and U.S. occupations result in terrorist attacks in Western countries.

Laura Tingle is milquetoast, but she can spot the problem.

Israel misses the point and consequences of its actions in wake of flotilla outcry

"A storm of protest erupted over the New York Times piece, challenging the allegations it published.
But as many pointed out the time, the protests held outside the newspaper's offices in New York were targeted at the fact the newspaper had run the story, not the disturbing underlying allegations."

* ATTACK the person who exposes it and hurts the greater cause instead.
(There's a pattern here)

Israel... They don't care about what they do, they will turn a blind eye to or justify anything they do, but if someone or something shows them in a bad light, even if one of their own does collective harm to their cause they attack that person.

If you look closely you'll see it demonstrated repeatedly.

Take the example of the Israeli prosecutor who exposed the rape of Palestinian prisoners, Israel doesn't address the underlying problem, being the rape of Palestinian prisoners.
There's government officials come out on Channel 14 and openly defend that.
But they will attack to the point of suicide someone who hurts the cause.
It's why they labelled Defense for Children International Palestine a terrorist organisation because they blew the whistle on the rape of Palestinians kids as well.

Forgive the rapists

Attack the one who spoke out

This basically results in these people largely not being able to look critically at their own actions and ALWAYS ATTACK the person who exposes it and hurts the greater cause instead.
- Once you see the pattern, you can't unsee it.

They are taught to see Palestinians as non-human, centuries of peer reinforced dehumanisation. Amalek!
- But in the end, they really only harm themselves.

You can call me whatever you want, it doesn't mean I'm wrong.

The claim by ttbn that Jew and Arab "have never 'got on' before" is untrue. Some people have a distorted opinion based on today's conflicts. The two groups have shared peaceful coexistence, cultural exchange, and political alliances for centuries beforehand.

"For over a thousand years, the vast majority of the Jewish population lived in the Middle East and North Africa under Muslim rule. By Islamic law, Jews were classified as dhimmis—protected peoples who were required to pay a special tax but were generally granted religious freedom, community autonomy, and economic security. During this time, the term "Arab Jews" described a population that was as culturally Arab as it was Jewish".

The great distortion between Jew and Arab developed more in the twentieth century than any time earlier, as Western powers sought control of the Middle East, creating conflict between the two groups.

Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”
