You would think because this has been going on for so long, even before I was born and I am 48, both sides would grow tired of it. I am honestly tired of both sides.
They like to think they are different but they are not. Humans will always seek to get the toughest guy on the block to defend them if they feel threatened. What perpetuates this human stupidity is the very elephant in the room neither wants to face. Both sides switch to race when you tell them it is religion. Then when you call them on race, they switch to culture. Then when you call them on that, they say it is ethnic.
Cut the fucking crap guys. This is about religion and if neither had been invented neither side would be fighting over it. This is unfortunately mundane human evolution going on and labels are what people hide behind to justify the "other" as being the outsider.
Sure you can get some on both sides to say "look, we don't want to subjugate the other" and both certainly can point to points in history of the two religions were they co existed. But no one wants to face when those things happened it was because one side had enough power that the other really had no choice but to accept their minority status.
Human tribalism will not go away. It is unrealistic for either side to expect the other to completely submit. But there will be no peace as long as religion is ignored as the root cause of all of this.
The only thing that will bring more peace to that region, is when people stop digging in their heals looking to put the toughest guy in power for either side, and everyone accepts that there is no "better club" or "chosen people". If they both pull their heads out of their asses, then it will not matter if you have one state or two states because a secular common law will create equality for everyone.
But do not hand me this crap that this is not about Allah vs Yahweh, it always has been.
