^I said that Israel was the “primary reason” they haven’t made a deal. I’m right. I have been pretty up to date on this subject, and I can’t recall a single instance where Israel was willing to give back land they took, or stop/remove the settlements.
The Palestinians aren’t the ones firing missiles. It’s a group within Palestine. That’s never stopped Israel from holding everyone accountable for what are essentially terror attacks by Hammas.
They aren’t “protecting” their borders. Unless you mean their settlements, on stolen land. They are expanding their borders, through illegal means.
There will never be a two state solution, because the Palestinians will not negotiate until settlement building stops, and that land is returned. That is the main hold up to further diplomatic development. Israel has the “holy land.” It could easily relinquish what it has illegally gained, to have peace. But Israel has all the leverage.
There will never be a single state solution because Israel wouldn’t allow it. It would be a democracy where Israelis are outnumbered by the Palestinians. So, Israeli agendas would be second to Palestinian agendas. The Palestinians, in such a democracy, would eventually control all the power, and probably squeeze the Israelis out. Or treat them, as they have been, like second class citizens. This is a major reason for continued unrest in Iraq. There are two main ethnic groups, and they don’t see each other as equals.
“They often don’t respond to missiles being thrown at,them at all.” Also incorrect. The “Iron Dome” missile defense system has been reported to be very effective. The missiles are more of a financial inconvenience for Israel, as they have to pay for the intercept missiles. Missile attacks, that as mentioned above, are the acts of what the international community regards as a terrorist organization.
The Palestinians likely see Hammas the way Americans viewed people like Francis Marion during the revolutionary war. A commander who fought the powerful British army with guerrilla tactics, and other acts that the British surely would have perceived as “terrorist” acts today. One man’s terrorist, is another man’s freedom fighter.
Then you go on about the Israeli people in Jordan etc. Those people are not what I am taking about. I don’t hold them accountable for their country’s actions any more than I hold myself accountable for Trump’s actions.
Both countries teach their children to hate the others. Both countries are responsible for the lack of coexistence. But it is the Palestinians who are oppressed, and the Israelis who are oppressing them.
Israel will also attack places outside of their borders, in surrounding countries, in the of protection of themselves. Unprovoked bombings by Israel in Turkey, and Syria have helped further destabilize the region.
I am not “anti-Israel,” but they constant source of illegal expansionism, nationalism, human/civil rights violations, and killing of innocent civilians.
