The ONLY way that peace could have been earned, in the West Bank, is…

• an independent ( UN ) government, that wouldn’t tolerate EITHER side’s abuse, and systematically silenced bullying from the place
• ALL necessary & sufficient infrastructure, healthcare, etc, in-place, AND NEUTRAL ( no Hamas, no Israel, NO politics in it: ONLY neutral facilitation-of-healthy-civil-process )
• keep this silencing-of-any-bullying for 2-4 generations, until the enmity-addicted people were all out-from-power
• THEN form a sane local-of-the-people government, gradually ceding from 1 to the other, celebrating the victory-against-prejudice ( on both sides ).

Neither side would tolerate/allow that.

TTBOMK, Israel has maintained about 100 dead Palestinians for every dead Israeli Jew, for many years, there is some sites on the 'web that have numbers for that, btw.

There is ZERO hope for any peace there, thanks to enmity being the addiction of sooo many, on both sides, who have authority, and therefore who use their authority to multiply enmity’s reach throughout the cultures.

A “church of hatred & evil” that situation has become.

Heartbreaking waste of God-given LivingPotential & LivingOpportunity, from both populations…

Please consider using John Truby’s book ( or even the cover of it ) “The Anatomy of Genres” for identifying the 14 Genres of story.

Myth, Epic, Western, etc…

“adventure” isn’t a genre: it occurs in multiple genres, serving as the canvas on-which the genre’s points are written…

That book, btw, is an awesome bunch of psychology.

Some minor errors, like mis-defining comedy…

( proper definition of humour: “improbable violation of expectation”, or a strange-loop form )

…to be made of a “drop”, a debasing, or put-down, or reduction of somebody…? Maybe in the US, but it isn’t the true fundamental root of humour.

sooo much gold in that book, though: definitely worth investing in.

( for anybody wanting the core competencies in writing, I’d say that both John Truby’s books, and Shaun Coyne’s “The Story Grid” are books that are required, and they are the top/core competencies. Coyne recommends McKee, as well. )
