One of the things I've learned from divorce cases is that much of the hostility is caused by lack of resolution. The parties are stuck in an antagonistic posture, and they can't move on with their lives. They're like two scorpions in a bottle. The fight-or-flight hormones poison their minds and cloud their thinking. Judicial resolution never gives either party everything he/she wants, but it creates closure. Don't think I haven't handled cases where the parties have threatened each other's lives. I have. It's remarkable how much the active, fulminating hatred dissipates once the case is over. The people of Israel and Palestine have been stuck in an antagonistic posture for too long. They need closure. They need to be able to move on with their lives.
