David and Goliath

Like so many religious and political conflicts in the world today, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is an endlessly festering mess. Peace is not a dream, but a delusion, because there is no give and take. Israel has and deserves its sovereign state, and Palestinians don’t have and deserve a homeland. Incursions, settlements, walls, fences, tunnels, terrorism and politics all work against peace.


At this point, though, it’s a David and Goliath situation. Palestinians trapped with few resources and little hope and Israel with an effective military, nuclear weapons and international support seem to guarantee that this time Goliath will be the victor.
