The stronger side used violence for >100 years in Ireland and South Africa, they are good case studies for the quote we are discussing. The stronger side in the West Bank has used violence for 50, hatred is at a level where a significant % don’t even want peace. Lon-term peace is not closer.
The use of force against less powerful enemies might seem expedient in the short term, but it leaves lasting wounds that lead to future conflicts/retaliation: the unending cycle of revenge.
