    Israel has offered peace deals and two state solutions many times before. Palestinians always walk away.

    Why do you people keep saying this like it matters? Have you ever considered it’s what’s in those deals that is important?

    Take a look at the Native Americans for an example of a colonized people accepting their colonizers’ terms.

      It matters because Palestinians have zero leverage. Their choice is either make peace and build a future, or keep fighting a losing battle, and ensure that their children never have a chance.

      Israel can wait.

      Israel is thriving.

        I hear you, but certainly you can understand how “accept that you’ve lost” may not sit well with some people.

          Yes. But it is objective reality.

          And the rest of the world would be doing the Palestinians an enormous favor of they told them that in no uncertain terms.

            Hm. You have a good point.

            This could lead to rebuilding a Palestinian nation in the same fashion as Japan after WW2.
