Israel and Palestine: Bombs vs. Compromise

The prompt indicates that nonviolence is based on social growth and human reconciliation, which I believe is true. In the case of nonviolence there is compromise and both parties benefit. What the prompt doesn’t mention is that violence, though it does come at significant cost to both parties, generally results in a winner and a loser. The loser experiences a loss of face. So what happens then? This loss of face engenders contempt and it promotes a need for retaliation.

I think these concepts are easy to apply to the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Violence has defined the conflict: from the British and Jewish repression of the Palestinian revolts of the 1930s, through the Intifadas of the 1980s, to today’s continued rocket and suicide bombing attacks. It has become a game of responding to provocations forcefully, but not forcefully enough to cause an uprising or mutual eradication. Until the two parties recognize the legitimacy of the issues put forth by the other there will never be concessions or compromise, which are the true paths to a solution

Non-violence in the Middle East

In my opinion, the central issue in the middle east is based around Palestine because it is the symbol of the negative consequences of the US and Europe’s involvement in that region. It is the symbol of the US’s recent support of regimes like Saudi Arabia and Egypt which have persecuted their people. With that, it is almost impossible for our actions to be seen as the “liberators” we tried to be in Iraq. As soon as we got there, the population of Iraq began to resist us. Even if they hated Saddam Hussein they felt like the US was worse. They responded with violence and we responded with violence.

The hatred and misinformation in the middle eastern countries is deeply rooted and difficult to combat. Children are taught in “madrasa” schools to hate America (the Great Satan) before they even know what America really represents. They are never given the full story with an unbiased view. The only thing we can do is counter that with our own information, and by making the right decisions going forward (because you can’t change the past). In my opinion, the “threat” of ISIS to our own homeland is minimal. I believe the real threat is the continued damage we do by being involved and perpetrating our own violence.

Violent and Nonviolent solutions

The conflict in the middle east is not so easily solved with nonviolence. Unfortunately, due to the beliefs of the group causing destruction in the middle east, a nonviolence outcome is not obtainable. Their beliefs are engulfed with hate towards others who do not believe or think like them. According to them, violence is the only solution to the problem they see. They have stuck to their violent ways and up to this moment it has worked in their favor. They have spread all over the middle east and have growth exponentially over the years. The only time they want a nonviolent solution is when they are trapped in a corner with no way out and death in staring them in the face. Do not get me wrong, nonviolent solutions are what we strive for but unfortunately we cannot speak to those who do not want to listen nor those who act like savag
