The failure of the United Nations and western liberal ideas to "solve" the Palestine question has more to do with the inadequacy of the UN charter and western liberalism to describe and manage reality than anything else, in my opinion. Mr. Mearsheimer, understandably, is thinking about the decline of the postwar international order, but we need only to look at recent history and notice that members of the western establishment do not get prosecuted by these international institutions. The western establishment is the sovereign of the system that they built. This is increasingly evident to states outside of this system. Like Gaddafi, their governments can be overthrown and they can be brutally murdered while Hillary Clinton laughs maniacally even if they hand over their weapons to western authorities. The western establishment is now playing their last cards in this game where they have rigged the rules.

Clearly, if we look at the facts, none of the region's diverse national, racial, religious or ethnic groups can get along. Ancient animosities aren't every going to be allowed to mitigate. Here we have detailed description of how one side wants to eradicate the other side because that other side wants desperately to eradicate the one side. The only path to liberation open to the irreligious observer is that of quiet disinterested contemplation leading to the inevitable enlightened realization that there is a cosmic pox on both houses.

They both have (save for the innocent Christians caught in the middle between these two belligerents) denied the way, the truth, and the life. They curse themselves, just as the mob did at Golgotha.
