Israel - Palestine Peace Psychout

This weekend I read an article titled “Israel shuns Palestinian prisoner deal” which was written by Al Jazeera and agencies. I actually found this article the old fashioned way: searching for it on Google. This article was published by Al Jazeera and agencies on March 28, 2014 and it is about the Israel-Palestine peace talks. The agreement reached between Israel and Palestine last July was that if Israel released the 104 Arabs that were held since before the Oslo Peace talks (another agreement in which Israel and Palestine tried to negotiate peace) by April 29, 2014, then Palestine would not continue to press their claims for statehood to the UN. Israel has released 78 Arab prisoners and now refuses to release any more. Due to this Palestine has started saying that they don’t consider Israel a Jewish state and the United States has to work harder just to set up a basic ground plan for peace.

I feel like the United States has to play the father role for these two Southwest Asian areas, like they are children. “Now Israel, Why didn’t you release the rest of the Arabs? Can’t you just release the rest of them?” the United States said. Israel replied simply, “No!” Then Palestine began to scream, and cry, and curse Israel. Finally, the United States assumes that they have not had anything to eat recently and gets them both a sandwich. And they all live talking about peace plans forever. The End

Seriously! When you break this all down, it’s really just two children throwing a fit except instead of toys in sandbox, they’re fighting over peoples’ lives. “Oh, you want peace. Okay… Well, too bad!” If world peace sways on such small problems like this, then I’m going to my room to wait until the Apocalypse because this is a waste of time.

United States officials are working now to come up with negotiations for a plan that will appeal to both parties before the April 29^th deadline. Previously we were hoping that all negotiations would be over soon and we could talk about how silly all of these negotiations were and achieve peace. However, the world isn’t perfect so we’re hoping to scrape by with what we’ve got. It’s like a school project when one student does their portion of the project and the others didn’t. Then later that day, you find out that the project is due tomorrow and your friends are arguing over what color paper to use. Somehow we’ll manage any way.
