THE
SEMPITERNAL STORY
The current events have been holding in
Israel have again opened the never-ending question about Israel, its situation
and the social factors surrounding this country. Israel-Palestine relationship
must be seen beyond two historical foes which are unable to find a solution for
the conflict. It is a story where more than two actors are involved and where
the international community (the UN for sure and the Security Council even
more) is hardly responsible of everything happened there. Why a solution isn’t
likely to be reached? What are the roots of the problem? Is the public
sentenced to listen about assassinations and violence in Gaza Strip forever and
ever?
I will be clear in this issue. Guilt is
shared indirectly by World War II victors and nowadays international community.
From this point, international actors must force both parts to keep a
negotiation which means the end of hostile actions. With this statement I start
my reflection.
Geostrategic factors are the source of the
problem, beginning with a new state placed in an unnatural location due to
religion issues. Israel has not yet understood that it does not share borders
with other states but it shares borders with other world far from western and
modern values. The decision of looking for a home to Jewish was a mixture of
sentimental and strategic issues that have exploded in a century of wars not
just with Palestine but with other countries like Egypt that do not recognize
its sovereignty as a real state. It is seen like a thief in a Muslim territory
since the United Kingdom quitted its hands from Middle East.
History has drawn a terrific scenario still
alive nowadays. Same story every day, a solution does not become real and
peaceful times are shifted into crimes and violence periods. Last explosion occurred
last days when teens have tried to make the war by their own with no clear
scheme as well as rudimentary tactics. Bearing in mind that, victims are always
the same; population with no hope further than resignation and conflagration. Just
for this reason, time may be over for all actors involved; just to preserve
life without the continuous threat caused by missiles and weapons.
Israel and international community must
lead the process only for two reason. Firstly, the powerful position it has
over the rest of Muslim countries showed by its modernization and technological
development. In second term, it is not a matter of Israel but it is a matter of
“the Western cause” in promoting democracy and own values. Israel has to be
considered a window opened to the other side of the world where “west wing” is
seen as evil. It is the opportunity to embrace them, we must make the first
step and being proactive is on us. When will the change be real? National and
international diplomacy must chair the change into democratic and open minding
terms. Military blaze has revealed itself as useless so let keeping trust in
diplomacy.
Although being proactive is the first
approach must be done by Israel, also Palestine must recognize its own errors
and faults to reach a common point of sharing consciousness. The effort must
focused on taking out Israeli forces from West Bank and the recognition of
Israel as a secure state without no threat by Palestine.
Negotiations failed along the years because
of no long-run agreement had been taken. Both governments was extremely
concerned about simple objectives always ended in violence by its weakness. The
last point of this article is made in a future statements. The emerge of ISIS
may be a key variable added to the conflict and can amend the balance of
powers, or become this conflict in a global one as it is happening in Syria.
