Will Israel not simply go back to Palestinian apartheid and illegal settlements ignoring international pressure, even if Hamas were to cease to exist tomorrow? This, of course, does not justify terrorism.
> Otherwise Israel has the right to destroy an organization waging war against it
Israel’s rights (or rather, the unilateral action they take) are up for debate, and only powered by the US and allies continuing to support them despite the transgressions mentioned above. Coexistence should not be this hard, but ideology is stubborn. All over a bunch of ancient stories.
Israel left the Gaza strip and spent a fortune removing the settlements. They were rewarded with ever more war. The key lesson is that the top priority of the Palestinians when given a state is to immediately vote for and focus on killing Jews.
How about “no killing” and “share power and cohabit peacefully or you’re both kicked out”? That seems fair and reasonable. I would agree an adult nation state needs to be in charge of this. Otherwise, this conflict persists for eternity, as someone will always have incentive to dissuade peace.
It’s terrible (“madness” said accurately lately by certain nation states) and everyone local has shown to be unable or unwilling to have accountable authority or power.
