These talks are going nowhere! by Barbora Misakova

There are many points of view on social conflict. Some of them consider it to be a kind of deviant behavior; another theories talk about social conflict as necessary phenomenon which contributes to social changes which lead to progress. But the conflict between Israeli and Palestine is more than just ordinary conflict. Middle East conflict is special as it is the only national conflict in which both sides want not only part, but the whole disputable territory. Palestinians and Israelis stake a claim for the whole territory of Palestine and both sides have for these claims many political, economic, geographic, cultural and historical arguments. There is also a strong influen! ce and tense which is connected with different religion – Islamic Muslims and Jews. For me, as disinterested observer is the whole situation in the Middle East more than chaotic and impenetrable. What is more, the whole conflict seems to me as unsolvable. Some conceptions consider this conflict as tension between two national movements, where the only solution is in mutual compromise. But as we can see (and we are witnesses it takes much too long) this situation still blows the coals. US envoy George Mitchell traveled back to the Middle East on Wednesday just to try again to push forward indirect peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians. As State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters: “He expects to have meetings with Israeli officials tomorrow (Thursday), Palestinian officials on Friday, and Egyptian officials on Saturday.” The meeting should include also discussion of Israel’s deadly May 31 raid on an aid flotilla seeking to break! a blockage on the Gaza Strip. I think I won’t be wrong ! when I s ay, that it is not only Palestine who thinks the US-brokered proximity talks with Israel are going nowhere.
