> I'm still not really sure why Isreal causes such polarised emotions.
Not to state the obvious but the largeest distinction between israel and every other country its that its a mostly jewish country.
> THe war intensified, but it was only when all the players started talking did something good happen
The bigger issue here is that while talks have been attempted many times, there is a sense on both sides of bad faith negotiations. In Ireland, bad as it was, there was a feeling the other side "would get too much" but not that they were outright lying about their aims.
> The problem here is that the number of parties that need to talk are quite high
There is also the problem of little value to human life. Religious fanatism, afterlife promises and even goverment sponsored programs such as martyr funds have devalued human life to a point where here is little basis on what to use as foundational goal for peace.
My US tax dollars don't generally go to other groups of terrorists while everyone gives a standing ovation to a terrorist leader.
