If you're interested in what is happening in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, then this is something you should see.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the central problems on planet Earth. We will never know if there would have been terrorist issues for other reasons if there had been no Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but we do know that the one we have now is directly related to it.There are some people in this world who are hell-bent for war and conflict, and are just looking for reasons to use an excuse for it. That appears to be as true of the United States as it is for Israel, Hamas, Iran, or Palestine. There is probably no country on the face of our planet who doesn't have some faction that would rather be in war than out of it.
That being said, the former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair seems to genuinely believe that the possibility of genuine peace between Israel and the Arab world is real. And that is something we should all--unless we're arms dealers--hope for.
There is never peace in parts of the world where there is a struggle to sustain oneself. The Palestinians have to have hope that they can make a living side by side with the Israelis. Mr. Blair says that they are real close to an agreement for the Israelis to loosen the blockade that now exists in Gaza. But for a permanent solution to occur, the Israelis have to have hope that the Palestinians can govern themselves like a responsible neighbor who can restrain its militant factions. To be able to do that, the Palestinians have to be able to trust that the Israelis will restrain their militant elements as well. When asked about the U.S. role, Mr. Blair very nicely explained that the U.S. can't just put out a plan and say "Here it is. Follow it whether you like it our not." The diplomacy of the situation requires putting forth a vision, offering hope, and helping the sides to take little steps toward realizing that vision and hope.
