ABSTRACT
The Arab-Israeli conflict has been described as a ‘war without end’. 1 Such a perspective represents both the subjective frustration and empirical reality of seemingly endless cycles of violence between ‘Arab and Jew’ in the Middle East. Observing the daily news, it is easy to be pessimistic and dismissive of the ongoing conflict that appears to outsiders to be both distant and intractable, seemingly rooted in ancient religious or primal ethnic irreconcilable differences.
