Sure there will. This problem has a solution and is just waiting for someone
with the guts to try it. The solution is to educate the Children to abandon
the hateful ways of their parents, and if the parents interfere they lose
custody of their children. If this succeeds then at least the children will
live to an old age rather than dying young as rock throwing martyrs or as
human bombs as their parents would like. This is admitedly an extreme
solution and politicians would prefer to fiddle and tinker around the edges
and while they do that people continue to die in terrorist attacks. The
original events that started the MidEast conflict occured in 1948. I see no
reason why the children of today have to suffer for the stupidities of the
past and if that means separating children from their parents, so be it.
