“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”
- Albert Einstein
|
But it is achieved by force.
|
You mean like in Israel/Palestine? Or do you mean like in WW1?
|
First, Israel’s restraint has perpetuated the conflict with the Palestinians.

Tell that to the dead women and children on both sides.

The conflict could have easily been ended as far back as in 1967 after the
victory in the 6 Day War.
WWI is a classic example illustrating my point. There was no resounding
victory that ended WWI; peace was not achieved by force, but by
negotiation. This false peace, of course, led to WWII, which was ended
by force and has lasted.
I guess I should have clarified: when I said “force”, I meant a kind of force
that dictates unconditional surrender.
The “understanding” comes after victory is achieved so that the defeated
country is treated in such a way so as to insure effective assimilation back
into the world of civilized nations.

“Civilized nations” do not continue (or start) a war when there is a non-violent
alternative.
