Beyond taking sides: a call for mutual recognition in Mideast conflict

It isn’t, of course.

The people who are trying to collapse this complex issue into a binary “with us or against us” choice, are the ones who don’t want compromise. They’re the ones who only want victory, whose only solution is for them to subjugate the other, until the end of time. Even so, they know that this doesn’t look good to outsiders, so they mask that end state behind a thousand excuses, because deep down, they know that they’re being unreasonable.
