The Future Of Conflict Over Historical Palestine
The Future of Conflict over Historical Palestine.
By Hasan Yahya, Ph.D
This article deals with the Arab-Palestinian-Israeli conflict over Palestine.
I would begin with this statement: “The logic in the face of power is illogical.” (Yahya 2005]. You don’t need to be Palestinian or Israeli to think logically about the more than 100 year long conflict between Arab-Palestinians and Jews (before Israel establishement and Israelis after). This analysis can be provided by any intellectual in various ways, and can also be understood from many angels of logic to understand, to know, to appreciate, and to compromise. These have no connection to values of both parties, where their beliefs cannot be defeated. The connection I am proposing has something to do with mental ability to promote understanding to appreciate each other in any area and to compromise to live in peace for generations to come.
The rule sited in the opening statement of this article, was followed by many cultures and religions worldwide. In other words, the one who have the power Through history over other cultures or nations we observe as a factual evidence after wars and military involvement. Scholars not always stick to validity of facts and relationships, according to their ideological or interest strains, but to bring them to the cause-effect relationships together to help justice to prevail. The powerful forces, opposed such logic and reject it on emotional or ideological grounds. Power makes victory over logic through history. When it comes to the Palestinian people problem in Palestine or outside Palestine. The powerful has victory over scholarship logic in the last century conflict between Arab-Palestinians and Israeli-Jews.
