Il nodo israelo-palestinese e il pericolo di nuove contese

[Autom. eng. transl.] Although attention has focused on the confrontation between Hamas and Israel, the recent escalation of violence has presented different elements than in the past. The ceasefire does not guarantee that this phase of conflict is truly over. Starting with the epilogue of the Second intifada (2005) had gradually established the belief that the Israeli conflict lo-Palestinian, albeit unsolved and always source of possible instability, was of per itself now "manageable" and "containable". Such conviction is largely the result of one static reading of this political knot. A intractable conflict, as academic jargon often defines it, in a land without peace that seems doomed to the cyclical repetition of the same plot without an apparent way out. By doing so, the Israeli-Palestinian question now seems to be reduced to the only conflict between Hamas and Israel, overlooking both the many unsolved aspects of a peace negotiation process that failed too soon and the multiple experiences that with difficulty try to build paths of coexistence and dialogue in spite of the lines that fight militarily. Among these we find those animated by the Christian communities in the land of Israel and Palestine, more and more compressed by conflict and by a demographic and migratory dynamics that have long hampered their presence, but which nevertheless do not renounce to recall, together to a part of the Jewish and Muslim sphere, to the need to find alternative ways to those of violence to unravel this ancient political knot.
