    Here’s one reason for you to digest: hamas refuses to recognize Israel as a country and would rather Israel be totally destroyed than recognize it in some way to have peace.

    You can’t say Ukraine refuses to recognize russia as a country and it is a fact that Ukraine would stop fighting the moment all russians fuck off back to russia. Can you say hamas will stop fighting even if Israel finallt took its grubby hands off the West Bank and Gaza? hah, no.

    There is also the other reason that russia is doing both the brutality of Israel and the unrestrained suicidal fanaticism of hamas on Ukraine. You can bothsides Israel-hamas to some extent, not Ukraine.

      They say they accept the premise of the two state solution. You using the same logic of fear used to justify maintaining apartheid in south africa. People used to say if it’s abolished black would take revenge on white people

            If the countries around them hadn’t invaded them like 7 times…yea…they’d have more goodwill and be less paranoid…now they don’t even trust hamas to run Gaza, because they can’t be sure they won’t pull another Oct 7th stunt again with foreign help.

              People of the 3 Abrahamic religions was living side by side till zionists who lived in other part of the world. The colonial project couldn’t happen without the british colonial power and the Nazi germany collaboration . Just check out the haavara agreement.

              The first prime minister of Israel said this before arabs decided to block the zionism colonial project : “after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine"

              Not to mention that gaza and the west bank wasn’t colonized after the 1948 loss but during the six day war where arabs never intended to retaliate for their previous loss

          wouldn’t take it at face value

          Exactly the fucking point. They didn’t want to take South Africa’s desires at face value either.

      Post 7th Oct I refuse to recognise Israel as a country. It’s clearly a terrorist state hellbent on the genocide of the Palestinians.

      It needs to go.

      I mean… I’d like to use as a counterpoint that Israel claimed to support a state of Palestine, basically right up until the British left.

      Then suddenly things got a lot more ‘Eretz Yisrael’.

      I don’t doubt that Hamas might say they’re fine with the existence of Israel so long as they have no alternative, and their idea of Israel is probably different than Israel’s current borders, just like Bibi and his assholes have been trying to mumble noncommittal noises while they tried to bulldozer their way to the Jordan.

        Anything that pushes the settlers out of the West Bank and keeps them out of Gaza should be a strong enough signal to be met by a serious and verifiable commitment by Palestine not to do any dodgy mass rearmament on Israel’s borders. From there, things could only get better if that deal holds, but yea, bibi isn’t capable of that, he’s a coward who will sink Israel.

          100%

          We need to build a wall around bibi and his settlers, and Hamas, and let them not be our problem anymore, bibi hijacked the whole course of events.

          I really miss Barak, but anybody serious about peace learned the lesson of Rabin.
