With peace talks on the horizon and attacks continuing, one has to wonder if the conflicts between Israel and Palestine will ever truly be resolved. This area of the world has been perhaps that most highly contested place on the planet. On the surface the conflict appears to be a religious struggle, with both sides proclaiming the land as holy territory. However, the real issue is not over the land itself, and the resources that it contains. It is an economic struggle, with an economic solution. The struggle is contained in capitalism, with different countries fighting over the resources that will sustain individual and regional economies. The solution is socialism, where all people will share the resources of an area to the betterment of everyone.
The conflict in Israel will only truly end when the people of Israel, including the Palestinians, agree to stop following their governments, whose only real objective is to justify their existence by promoting the conflict with weekly attacks on the streets and in the media.
Only the establishment of a socialist society can truly end this conflict, which will allow Israelis and Palestinians to live cooperatively in an area that lost its true meaning long ago.
