Imagine twins who have been hurting each other since they were in the womb. Neither one wants to stop, and each points to all the times in the past when his twin has hurt him as justification for each new attack. As adults, the twins have formed mafias to commit their acts on each other and the family members of the other. Somehow they believe this mafia makes their behavior more legitimate.
Each twin has his own supporters and haters. Egging him on to hurt the other again. Their behavior threatens everyone in the whole world.
I have zero sympathy for either twin.
This, to me, is the story of the Middle East.
