The Israeli Palestinian conflict

[Moldran]

In Hegel's model, as I recall, the thesis and antithesis tended to "run into each other" (I call that conflict) and when that conflict gets resolved, a third thing, the synthesis, is the new condition.

And that synthesis can very well be identical to either the thesis or the antithesis. You misunderstand Hegel if you apply the colloquial definition of synthesis. The synthesis is not (at least not necessarily) a "mixture" of thesis and antithesis :P
