About the afterwar peace

By Mourad Petrossian

The abilities of the diplomacy even run by the president or the
prime-minister are nothing if the moral conditions aren’t good.
…We see how many generations of presidents, prime-ministers and
diplomats were trying to solve the Jerusalem problem, but in vain…
Because averything depens not on …, but depends on the fact how the
reality is reflected in the society’s conciousness. Who, when and
where has ever seen or heard that there was a problem which was
solved in diplomatic way? Nobody, nowhere and never…
There are three necessary conditions to reach peace between two
confronting sides.
1. When one of the confronting sides conciously accepts that it’s
weak or it’s aims aren’t honest enough.
2. When the the two sides conciously understand that it’s
impossible to win the other or when both of them have equal rights.
3. When a third side, which is powerful enough, represses one or
both of the confronting sides to make a peace treatment.
But if none of these conditions doesn’t exist, then the beginning
of the war is inavoidable. And this war will continue so long as one
of the upper said conditions takes place.
Why does the Arab-Israely confrontation continue more than half a
century? Because both Arabic and Israely sides are conciously sure
that they are right and honest and most of all they trust their aim
and if it’s necessary they’ll reach it in any case.
Israely society was more tired in the beginning of the 1990-th
than the Palestinian Arabs, but they didn’t accept the peace
treatment signed by Rabin’s Government because they didn’t want to
cede the half of Jerusalem and other strategic regions. And as long
as something continues to be the people’s oppinion, any international
peace programm will fail.
