    re you seriously comparing a group that openly targets civilians, hiding in civilian infrastructure, with a group that retaliates?

    Israel oppresses Palestinians, Hamas retaliates and Israel retaliates against their retaliation, rinse and repeat. The only ones with the power to change this dynamic are Israel and they’re not doing that.

      They’ve offered these people peaceful coexistance and self-governance for more than half a century.

      Palestinians have walked away from every peace talk and turned to terrorism.

      The only ones with power to change the dynamic are the Palestinians.

        Palestinians have walked away from every peace talk and turned to terrorism.

        Because every peace talk has been “We’re gonna offer you a fraction of your stuff and you should be happy about it”. The Israeli position is that Palestine should be happy with breadcrumbs, and Palestinians are understandably not happy about that. Israel hasn’t changed its position, and has actually gotten worse, hence terrorism.

          Not at all. Israel’s offers of peace have been objectively the most generous terms in history.

            None of them involved pulling out of Gaza and the West Bank, that’s for sure. When your peace offers practically don’t even include independence, it’s hard to take them seriously. And don’t get me started about East Jerusalem.
