I feel for the ordinary people on both sides here. They are completely at the mercy of others who have their own agendas and their own reasons for being unable to compromise.
Having been on the receiving end of a rocket attack on a Kibbutz in 1980, I can assure anyone that it is the most terrifying experience imaginable - no matter how "outdated "or "weak" the rockets are deemed to be.There is nothing so terrifying as hearing rockets being launched and hearing them coming through the sky and waiting to find out where they fall.
I hope that someone, somewhere will be brave enough to risk the wrath of his peers and make the first move to peace.
