preface
The smoke of war has been burning in the Middle East for a year, and more and more countries have been involved in this year, and the land has been devastated.
According to statistics, since the outbreak of the conflict, more than 26,000 rockets have been fired into Israel, and countless families have lost everything in this war.
Until now, the two sides still have no intention of backing down, and the United States is now deeply involved and has no time to compete with the mainland, so since everyone is not happy, why has this war not stopped?
The Scars of History and the Dilemma of Reality: Why Is the Road to Peace So Difficult?
To answer this question, we must not just stop at the flames of war in front of us, but also look back to the long river of history to explore the root causes of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has a long history, and the roots of the problem can be traced back to the beginning of the last century.
Both Jews and Arabs have deep historical roots and religious feelings for this land, and both sides consider themselves to be the legitimate owners of this land, and this deep-rooted historical grievance and national contradiction has become an insurmountable gap between Palestine and Israel.
What is even more worrying is that, in addition to the problems left over from history, the current predicament has also made the road to Palestinian-Israeli peace full of thorns. Territorial disputes, settlement disputes, the status of Jerusalem...... Each question is quite complex, and it affects the whole body.
Palestine and Israel are like two hedgehogs that stab each other if they get too close. They both carry heavy historical burdens, are full of suspicion and hostility towards each other, and neither side is willing to make concessions easily, which makes peace negotiations difficult and deadlocked.
The escalation of the war: where will the situation go when the forces of all sides intervene?
If the dilemma of history and reality is the "internal cause" of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, then the intervention of external forces will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and make this conflict more complicated and difficult to solve.
In this protracted war, Israel, once known as the "little bully of the Middle East", is now mired in a quagmire and embattled.
Allah from Lebanon fired rockets, Iran provided ballistic missiles, Palestinian resistance groups used long-range rockets, and Yemen's Houthis fired hypersonic missiles.
Israel, like a trapped male lion, is tired of responding to attacks from all sides, and the once proud "Iron Dome" defense system is also inadequate.
According to Israeli statistics, more than 26,000 rockets, missiles and drones have attacked Israel from multiple directions since the conflict began on October 7 last year.
Despite the activation of Israel's air defense system, two rockets hit the target, causing a number of casualties.
This war not only cost Israel a heavy price, but also put its most important United States allies in a dilemma.
United States has been Israel's staunchest backing, providing it with substantial military and economic support.
However, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, like a bottomless pit, continues to devour United States' resources and energy, but there is no hope for a solution.
United States understands the importance of the Middle East and does not want to let it go easily. Israel plays a key role in United States' Middle East strategy, so United States must firmly support Israel.
However, anti-war sentiment is growing in United States, and more and more people are questioning United States's policies in the Middle East, arguing that United States should "withdraw" from the Middle East.
This makes United States have to be more cautious in dealing with the Palestinian-Israeli issue and avoid over-involvement, which could lead to a greater disaster. The intervention of external forces has made the situation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict even more confusing, and the dawn of peace has become even more elusive.
A glimmer of light: a call to peace, can it be heard?
Under the shadow of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, there is still a faint glimmer of light, and that is people's desire for peace.
In Israel, more and more people are beginning to reflect on this protracted war, and they do not want to see their country mired in war and innocent lives lost in the shelling.
They took to the streets to protest the war and hope that the government would stop fighting and resolve the issue with the Palestinians through peaceful negotiations.
In Palestine, despite living in the shadow of war for a long time, the desire for peace has never been extinguished.
They hope to have an independent and free country, to live in peace with Israel, and to build a beautiful homeland together.
All sectors of Palestinian society are also actively seeking ways to peace, hoping to find a solution to the conflict through dialogue with Israel through the good offices of the international community.
In the international community, more and more countries and organizations have begun to pay attention to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and are actively participating in promoting the peace process.
The United Nations, the League of Arab States, the European Union, and other international organizations are all actively seeking a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, hoping to bring Palestine and Israel back to the negotiating table at an early date and resolve the dispute through peaceful means.
The call for peace, coming from all directions, is like a faint starlight, trying to penetrate the haze of war and illuminate this long-suffering land.
The road to peace: thorny, but hopeless
The road to peace is destined to be full of thorns, but we believe that as long as the Palestinians and Israelis and the international community work together, we will be able to find the key to solving the problem and let the dawn of peace finally illuminate this land.
For Israel, they need to understand that force does not solve all problems, but rather leads to further isolation.
True security and stability must be achieved if the threat of force is to be renounced, to return to the negotiating table and to resolve differences with Palestine through peaceful dialogue.
For their part, the Palestinians need to understand that violent confrontation will only exacerbate hatred and mistrust on both sides, and will only end up putting themselves in a more passive situation.
In order to achieve national liberation and national independence, it is necessary to renounce violent means and to win the support and understanding of the international community through peaceful negotiations.
As far as the international community is concerned, it is necessary to take a more active part in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, create a good environment for dialogue between Palestine and Israel, and help both sides overcome difficulties and reach a peace agreement at an early date.
Achieving peace requires the joint efforts of all, as well as courage, wisdom and patience.
The only way out is the choice for the future: peaceful development
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not only a tragedy between Palestine and Israel, but also a warning to all mankind. War brings destruction and suffering, but peace brings hope and a future.
In the face of an uncertain future, both Palestinians and Israelis should make a wise choice, which is to abandon hatred and embrace peace.
Peace is the common aspiration of the people of Palestine and Israel, and it is also the common aspiration of the people of the world. It is hoped that the two sides can put aside their hatred, realize Palestinian-Israeli peace at an early date, and jointly create a world of lasting peace and common prosperity.
