The uber wealthy have set the conditions for conflict based entirely upon greed.
Same as it ever was…
Palestine has been in perpetual war for sovreignty since the end of WWII.
Yup. Even longer, actually: Timeline of intercommunal conflict in Mandatory Palestine
1881
The first wave of Jews arrive in Ottoman Syria in the First Aliyah after Zionism itself began some time in the 1850s
Eventually leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and ongoing conflict
Basically the violence has been constant, with occasional breaks to reload.
The Pax Americana is probably responsible for the relative stability of the '90s and '00s - there was still violence, car bombings and rocket attacks &etc, but not open warfare. That’s obviously ending now.
My guess is that the period without warfare allowed Palestine to develop some economic stability and power of its own, which Israel perceived as a long-term threat. Combine that fear with greed and expansionism and you get the current attempt to erase Palestine.
I mean… there was time to build a bunch of modern residential buildings, hospitals and businesses (the things Israel is currently blowing up and bulldozing) and for people to live their lives without having to be armed 24/7. It literally has not been open warfare (at least for a little while), and yes there was some economic stability, enough for local Palestinian businesses to develop, for a semi-functional civilian government to form, and for civil services like hospitals and schools to be established. It hasn’t just been a warzone for 100 years.
