In summary, the conversation discusses the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict and its impact on the world. The question is raised whether the conflict is solely due to the involvement of world powers or if there are deeper underlying issues. It is acknowledged that the conflict has created deep-seated animosity between the two sides and that the involvement of multiple religions with a claim to Jerusalem further complicates the situation. The speaker expresses doubt that peace will ever be achieved in the region.

I was wondering if there had been no disputes between the people of israel and the palestine population,had there been no conflicts or sequels of it ,like the cold war and stuff between 2 neighbouring nations,would the world have been different??Or is it that the situation now prevailing is due to the so called "WORLD POWERS"?and their dominating policies...

I'm sure that area would be a *lot* different if there had never been an Arab-Israeli conflict. I'm sure world powers have contributed to the situation, but I doubt the outcome (as far as feelings toward one another) would have been any different. There are just too many hard feelings in the form of:

'You took my land'
'Only because you took it from me first.'
'Well I took it because you took it before that.'
etc.

You've also got 3 (or more, depending on how you count) major religions that believe Jerusalem is the 'holy of holies' and want to control it. If you were to tell me I'll ever see peace in that region during my lifetime (or probably 10 lifetimes), I'd say you were crazy.

It is impossible to say for certain how the world would be different without the Israel-Palestine conflicts. However, it is likely that there would still be other conflicts and tensions in the region, as well as global power struggles and domination. The Israel-Palestine conflicts have deep historical roots and are complex issues that cannot be simplified to just the actions of world powers.

It is important to acknowledge that the involvement of world powers, particularly the United States, has played a significant role in perpetuating and exacerbating the conflicts in the region. However, it is also important to recognize the agency and responsibility of the parties involved in the conflict, including the Israeli and Palestinian governments and their people.

Moreover, even if the Israel-Palestine conflicts did not exist, there would still be other conflicts and issues in the world that would need to be addressed. It is important to focus on finding solutions and promoting peace in the current situation, rather than speculating about what could have been.

Ultimately, the world would certainly be different without the Israel-Palestine conflicts, but it is impossible to say for certain how. What is important is to work towards resolving the conflicts and promoting peace and understanding between all parties involved.
