I am 61 years old and for much of my life, I have seen the Arab/Israeli hatred for each other manifest in tragedy after tragedy, fight after fight, war after war and frankly I'm sick of it. I say, let them fight it out to the death. Right now.
It's not like we didn't try. We did. We spent literally hundreds of billions of dollars trying to educate, placate, pacify, please, or even coerce, both sides into behaving like normal human beings. It has all failed.
You see, the mistake we've made for decades, is treating these Barbarians as if they are civilized people. They aren't. Neither side!
Their never-ending fighting, bickering, and warring has been going on since before Jesus Christ walked the earth two thousand or so years ago. And these Barbarians -- and that's what they are - have hated each other, deceived each other, fought each other, and killed each other for that entire time.
As the world got smaller thanks to modern travel and innovation, both sides recruited others into their age-old hatred. The Jews with money, the Arabs with oil and the wealth it generates.
It's NEVER going to stop, unless we in the rest of the world, step back, and tell them both: Go at it. Go ahead, slaughter each other. We don't care anymore. We're tired of your bullshit. We're tired of paying you to be nice to each other. We're tired of hearing how you're both always being wronged by the other. We're tired of you. We don't want YOU or your bullshit in our lives anymore.
So go fight it out. Kill each other. Fight until you're ALL dead for all we care. But if any of you survive, we will be ready to have good relations and do business with whoever wins.
You see, it's simple: the world will know absolutely no peace unless and until the two sides are allowed to slaughter each other.
I don't care if the entire Middle East runs knee-deep in blood. We in the United States, and the rest of the civilized world, should do absolutely nothing.
Both sides are big talkers. Both sides are tough guys. OK, let's see how that works out when big brother America is no longer there to influence the outcome.
Let's see how each side does when the checks written by their big mouths, arrogant posturing, and intransigent positions, have to actually be cashed by their bodies as they fight it out to the death.
Your mouths have been writing checks that your bodies can't cash. It's time to ante-up and fight it out once and for all.
Go ahead and slaughter each other. The rest of us just don't give a shit anymore.
Oh, and if any Americans or Europeans are so incensed at the situation that THEY think WE should be involved, then THOSE PEOPLE in the US and in Europe should head on over to whichever side they support, and offer to fight along side them.
Let them get killed to. This way the rest of us can have peace.
