Note: People have become fed up with this long lasting feud. Many believe it is a lost cause and there is nothing people can do to fix the situation at this point. An interview of Mr. Mueller, a college professor educated on the Israeli-Palestine Conflict, can be found below.
Do you think the Israeli-Palestine conflict is getting any better?
No
If not, do you think it has any chance of improving in the near future?
No
Why?
There is a substantial minority of romantics on both sides that can keep an agreement from being implemented effectively.
Who do you think is the most responsible for the continuing fighting?
Probably the Arabs, but it's complicated.
What solutions do you think should be considered?
Giving up on finding solutions.
What are the problems and benefits of these solutions?
More time and money to spend on other, solvable problems (like malaria; a disease that has been eliminated in many places (in other words, we know how to do it and all it takes is money and effort))
What do you think would be a mistake to do at this point in the fight?
To attack the problem with the belief that you can find a solution.
Which groups are the most powerful or influential?
Not clear what this means.
How do other countries' opinions affect the choices made?
Not much.
What groups should be disbanded?
Not clear disbanding would help.
What groups do you think have a good choice of attaining peace?
None.
