Freud was wrong

What is the fundamental issue that fuels the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

“Today’s session is almost over, Dr. Freud, so here’s a question to ponder before our next appointment: Why do you always talk about your mother and father, but you never bring up the death of your little brother Julius?”

The news from Israel and Gaza is horrifying, the history confusing, and the lack of viable solutions absolutely maddening.

But what if we’re thinking about this conflict all wrong?

What if resolving the Israeli-Palestinian dispute has nothing to do with a two-state solution or “Never Again” or U.N. resolutions or “from the river to the sea”?

What if there’s a better way to understand and address this struggle?

To that end, I highly recommend you listen to this short audio clip (below). And because I desperately want you to focus on the clip’s substance instead of its source, I’ll tell you who the speaker is… in my next post.

Friendly reminder: You don’t need to believe in any Old Man In The Sky woo-woo to appreciate the wisdom of this analysis.
