The value of a comparative study of the two conflicts stems from a remarkable similarity in the structural organization of political violence by its most influential practitioners: the IRA and Hamas. At the core, I have merely tried my best to approach a beguiling question in a fresh, dynamic way. The stultifying discourse of conflict that serves as lingua franca for the IsraeliPalestinian issue has largely reduced strategic debate to how best the conflict can be managed not ended. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus focus on economic peace and unwillingness to commit to a twostate solution the consensus that has governed peacemaking for decades belies such thinking. The Clinton Administrations cadre of Mideast negotiators operated amidst the most rapid institutionalization of Palestinian democracy in history yet remained obsessed with IsraeliArab confidencebuilding measures, doing little to legitimize the gains of Oslo. So long as Palestinians continue to view the creation of Israel as alNakba the catastrophe whilst successive Israeli governments refuse to grant their aspirations any legitimacy, there can be no progress. Peace requires empathy, a substantial compromise in the context of internecine conflict. The long war both conflicts have become mandates an equally expansive, broadbased and laborintensive approach a demanding process that can only be called The Long Game.
