About war in Gaza

I know. There are not simple solutions for the serious problems of the situation in the Middle East. But still I  wonder why it’s so difficult to reach a compromise between Palestinians and Israel. The violence is not a durable solution.

The world has seen too many decades violence and wars in the Near East. From the outsider’s and Northern Europeans’ point of view the plot looks  the same every year. One of them starts acting and the other responds by using brutal means.

In a rhetorical way no-one either sides will give up and they are reluctant to make any compromises. And lots of civilians are suffering and losing their lives.

Again from the outsider´s opinion the compromise between Palestinians and Israelis is necessarily important and possible. One solution could be to follow what The Minister for Foreign Affairs Alexander Stubb proposed on his blog last weekend.

Let’s stop the offensives immediately, ensure the security of Israel and create a viable Palestinian state. No more civilian casualties.
