RE: What is the ultimate solution for Israeli - Palestinian conflict?
Nice touch from you @mimismartypants
There is also a financial part of this conflict, where you can find some people in both sides benefit financially from this conflict. People with money are often people with power. So this is a big issue.
See now this is where it's getting interesting!! Ive never really thought of this angle, but of course!! War is one of the most profitable industries.
But taking a step back. Being a Muslim myself, my sympathies has always been with the Pakistanians. Of course i know Palistine is home to all religions, not just muslims and all the people are feeling the effects of the conflict. However, i have always seen Palistine as the underdog in the situation and the struggling state, even the persecuted state! But now you mention financial gain from both sides. So this changes my perception slightly, but not much.
I'm very keen to know more if you are willing to elaborate!

As a Palestinian, I can tell that 80% are sick of war and need peace. They are the poor, educated, rich in culture and understanding. A lot of them, including me, have Israeli friends and interact with them daily. If not friends, they would be traders and merchants who they work with. So those people usually want peace.
On the other hand you have %15 who are uneducated and can be driven by the 5% to cause any problems. The 5% are those people who steal the donors money to Palestinians and are very happy in this unstable situation where they can make more money. Poor people (The 80%) are doing their best trying to make a living, and they don't have the time to fight their own government.
So the 5% percent including the government officials abuse this situation to make a lot of money by maintaining the unstable situation with their 15% uneducated brainwashed people! And they call it Patriotism!
I hope this explained something :)
