I don’t buy it. Prosperity is the best antidote to extremism.


Desperation breeds extremism. If Gaza could be a non-theocracy with a modicum of freedom to pursue one’s aspirations, then young people would likely be more than happy to forego suicide attacks.

At this point, ending all the distrust between the two sides seems impossible. But it probably isn’t. Just unimaginable right now.
