    Israel has long ago broken any accord they made with Palestine. Those agreements were predicated on respecting the sovereignty of Palestine and the decades long blockade and occupation of anywhere they want to be means that accord is dead.

    You don’t get to ignore a treaty while demanding the other party respect it.

      So did Palestinians break it… Israel is far from innocent, but Palestinians are even less so. Rewarding families of terrorist suicide bombers isn’t really sending “let’s do peace” vibes. Bad behaviour drags bad behaviour, and that’s true for both sides.

      People wonder why Israel expands their settlements, when the Palestinian leaders show 0 interest in not even doing peace - but even acknowledging the existence of Israel.

      It takes 2 to tango, and violence brings violence. That’s true to both sides - and if you count who started the aggression, Palestinians are almost always the first to escalate that aggression.
