Could you offer some concrete proof that the overall situation isn't instead being made progressively worse for the future by continuing the conflict? I'll settle for even the tiniest piece of concrete evidence.

This is and can be no concrete proof that we're not inflaming the situation but there can also be no proof that we're not doing the right thing - only time will tell.
