One thing paying attention to how things progressed since the early 1990s is realizing how much the Israel/Palestine conflict and the PLO and The Troubles and the IRA were ultimately tied up in the Cold War, conflicts at the edge of the core American alliance structure with the potential to wedge domestic loyalties, and after the dissolution of the USSR the same intensity of feeling might be present but the apparatus to convert that into insurgent power just isn’t there anymore

I suppose when you get down to it South Africa too, it’s a thing to consider them as distinct resolutions to similar dynamics of division in national identity
