    Enjoy no replies because the sheer amount of documentation of Israeli support for Hamas over any peaceful coalition is overwhelming.

      Israel has offered peace deals time and again, but Palestinian leaders rject any deal that isn’t the destruction of Israel.

        The only deal Israel has ever offered involves ceding over the majority of the West Bank. If Palestinian statehood were ever properly recognized, Israel would be in violation of illegal occupation of Palestinian land. The peace offers are bullshit.

          Palestine has never been a country, at any time in human history. Before the Six Day War, the land currently viewed as Palestine belonged to three of the countries that attempted genocide against Israel.

          Israel has offered Palestinians pre-1967 borders, effectively establishing a Palestinian state, and those offers were rejected because Israel would still exist. You may want to Google the Six Day War and see that the land was taken not from Palestine, but from Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. This is why calling Israelis “colonizers” is so pants-on-head stupid. You’re not colonizing land you won in a war with established powers. Otto Von Bismarck was not colonizing during German Unification.

          Here, I did it for you. There’s even a helpful graphic.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War

          Territorial changes: Israel captures and occupies the Golan Heights from Syria, the West Bank (incl. East Jerusalem) from Jordan, and the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt[9][10]

          This isn’t a debate. These things all actually occurred. The only party seriously considering Palestinian statehood has always been Israel, and has never been Palestinian leadership.

          The one time Palestinian leadership considered it, Hamas took over.
