It's like two brothers fighting, really. That's what they are, symbolically, the same blood runs through both sides.
There are so many parallels to Arab-Israeli stuff here it's mind-blowing. Neither group looks like it's going to get itself together any time soon. The Irish looked like they were trying for a while. I mean, to hear the leader of Sinn Fein say he wanted a gun-free Ireland? It's a big step just to say that if you're Gerry Adams.
