For the most part Israel and Palestine want to wipe each other out.

Israel is able to resist acting on their emotions, Palestine isn't.

To make matters worse other countries don't want to deal with Palestinians en masse because of their past (and present) behavior.

If Palestinians don't figure out how to change their culture and mentality they're going to cease to exist.

Stripping prisoners and forcing them to march in front of your tanks?

Worked well enough in “The Devil’s Guard,” no?

I’m a bit more optimistic (naive?) thinking that the hardest core of both sides want the other side erased. I’m guessing most just don’t want to be fucked over by the others.

Good overall principle, but like the mafia or gangs, as long as someone gets better service from them than they do from the authorities who are supposed to, the bad guys’ll thrive. Hearts & minds ain’t easy - or quick.
