The Arab Mideast scholar says the current infrastructure of Israeli occupiers and stateless Palestinians forces the two peoples into a toxic relationship of dominance and subordination, and that they must replace violent occupation and resistance with genuine coexistence.

Our commentary comes from Hussein Ibish, an Arab Mideast scholar with thoughts about the way forward:Nothing can excuse the terrorist rampage by Hamas. They murdered hundreds of Israelis and made no preparations for the two million people of Gaza to survive the inevitable retaliation.Israel is responsible for avoidable civilian deaths and for cutting off all basic necessities for the Gaza Palestinians now under collective attack. Civilian deaths could easily rise into the tens of thousands.

This unnatural relationship ensures periodic outbreaks of atrocious violence.The conflict involves individual and group malice on both sides. But structures of violence are hardwired into any relationship defined by the control of one people by another in a contest for land and power.Israelis and Palestinians must stop dehumanizing each other. Hamas killed Israelis indiscriminately. Israel says it's confronting 'human animals' in Gaza.
