There will perhaps never be any solution to West Asia’s fundamental crisis because it is old and elementary — two peoples fighting for the same piece of land for a hundred years in the present episode. A solution would require Israel to bury the claims of collective memory and emotion and pull out of the West Bank. And Hamas and its Syrian and Iranian backers to let Israel live in peace, without loud declamations of death to the Jewish state. But, in the leadership crisis of Israelis and Arabs, the lack of consensus and political will, everybody is too tired to listen.
