Imagine a large house that has an extended family living in it.
The family has lived in the neighborhood peacefully for generations with no major problems during this time.
Then, one day a group of uninvited outsiders show up at the door claiming that their God gave them the house and that the family should leave immediately.
As might be expected, the homeowners refuse.
The outsiders decide to harass the homeowners by breaking windows, blowing up the mailbox, scribbling graffiti on the walls and generally making themselves extremely annoying.
The homeowners call town hall to protest the harassment.
When the outsiders are presented with the complaints by the city officials, they give a tale of woe that includes long years of suffering and deprivation.
They also claim discrimination and unjust treatment for many generations.
Besides this tale, they offer circumstantial evidence that they once lived in the house many years ago and therefore have a right to live there again.
The government sees that the outsiders are a rowdy bunch with no respect for outside authority, and that they are well equipped with an attitude that enables them to keep up their campaign of harassment indefinably.
Consequently, they decide that something must be done to keep the situation from getting totally out of hand.
The government and the neighbors get together to formulate a plan that they see as a solution to the problem.
The plan is to let the outsiders move in to the house with the government's apparent approval.
Once they are settled in, the neighbors will get together and forcefully evict them, claiming that the outsiders are breaking long standing neighborhood covenants.
The outsiders will be sent packing, the government will be seen as doing the right thing, and the homeowners can move back in to the house, bringing everything back to normal.
When the plan is implemented, the homeowners leave, some moving in with the neighbors and the rest moving into the basement.
The outsiders move in to the main house and everything seems to be going as planned.
When the eviction notice is presented to the outsiders, things go terribly wrong.
Rather than leave peacefully, the outsiders tear up the notice and beat up the community leaders, putting several in the hospital.
They then proceed to threaten the rest of the neighborhood, intimidating everyone that prevents any one group to try anything in retaliation.
The homeowners, who move in to the basement thinking they will get right out again, are now considered refugees by the outsiders.
The outsiders continueto keep them in the basement, abusing and humiliating them every chance they got.
Over the next thirty years the neighbors tried to reclaim the house for the homeowners several times.
Each time they were soundly beaten to a pulp and loose many building plots illegally taken as punishment.
As time goes on, the homeowners in the basement are abused and humiliated more and more harshly, trying many times to get some sort of justice by striking out with what little resources they have.
This is seen as terrorist activity by the outsiders, who continue to abuse and punish them, creating a never ending cycle of violence.
Even though the outsiders have all the power, they continue to act like victims, insisting that the downtrodden and humiliated homeowners trapped for 50 years in the basement of their own house make the first move toward peace.
This story has no happy ending because the outsiders, equipped with way to much raw power, see no reason to try anything that might be perceived as weakness.
Firmly believing in the doctrine that might makes right, they see brute force and violence as a way to solve their problems.
Having a cellar full of angry and humiliated people in their house is considered better than addressing their grievances, as the cellar door can always be made stronger.
They do not seem to see that if 50 years of arrogance, violence and humiliation haven't solved their problems, its time to try something else.
