What we should do

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a pretty polarizing issue. It's pretty clear we've got some very stubborn people and since it's been going on for so many years I think it's rather safe to assume it's not going to end peacefully. There will almost certainly be some sort of attack, the only thing we have control over is the scale of that attack and how much time passes until there is conflict. I think Obama should put aside his personal agenda and allow the UN to vote on allowing Palestine to become a sovereign nation. Israel is clearly being ridiculous in their demands and failed negotiations. The majority of the world is backing Palestine because it makes sense. Millions of refugees are suffering for no reason, and their land is torn apart by destruction by Israeli's military. There is essentially no way to escape this conflict without some violence, since neither sides will budge, so we need to do the right thing to better how other countries see us.
