Apart from the political naivete of such a view, a mere glance at recent developments shows that the positions of the two sides have solidified and the divide between them is greater than ever. The differences are unbridgeable, and the current lull should not foster the delusion that the worst is behind us.

Polarization is strengthened by the streams of blood dividing the two ethnic groups.
This also multiplies the mistakes and prejudices on both sides. The eruption of a new crisis is only a matter of time.
