'The conflict with Israel will always exist' says...

Nope, not Assad although that's his picture. This time its Syrian Prime Minister (bet you didn't know they had one) Naji al-Otari.
Syrian Prime Minister Muhammad Naji al-Otari dismissed the chances of peace ever being achieved in the Middle East in an interview with Syrian media.

"The conflict with Israel will always exist," said Otri in a report cited by the online website of Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar on Friday.

He also praised the conduct of the Lebanese Armed Forces in the border exchange that left one IDF soldier, three Lebanese soldiers and one Lebanese journalist dead.

Otri went on to call Lebanon a military liability for the Syrian state. "Lebanon is the weak flank in Syria's back," he said. Al-Otari noted that despite its previous troop withdrawl, "Syria has returned to Lebanon stronger than before."
This isn't really about the Golan, is it? What could go wrong?

So if the conflict will always exist, isn't it wasted time and effort to try to solve it? Shouldn't all attempts to solve it, which are doomed to failure, by definition for a conflict that will always exist, simply be abandoned?

Just admit it was a massive waste of time, effort, and lives, and make sure that the conflict is pursued as a war from now on. Peace efforts will not cause the enemies to give up their political aims. So cease the peace efforts.
