The theater of the absurd

The security council voted against setting a time table for Israel to relinquish control over Judea and Smaria by 2017.
The resolution did not pass as it needed 9 members to vote for it, it received eight votes and the US did not have to use its veto to annul the vote.
The whole process is absurd for the following reasons.
There is no real Palestinian state and there never will be one.
Even if the vote passed somehow it would have rejected by the Hamas, Jihad, Isil and others.
Even if the vote passed Israel could not and would not have accepted the outcome.
Besides the Palestinians have proved over and over that they just want to go through the motions of negotiation and never really reach any conclusions.
The process here is important.
Reaching any conclusion is an anathema to the Arabs.
They do not and will not accept a Jewish presence in the land of Israel.
There will never be a Palestinian state for so many reasons.
That does not stop the whole world from talking about a 2 state solution.
This conflict is unsolvable.
It is containable.
Constantly talking about something that will never happen is not helpful.
It is the theater of the absurd.
