Nothing will change until the Palestinian's have full autonomy and control over their existence ....Zeets2 » 28 Oct 2024, 9:06 am » wrote: ↑ I really don't see how any hope is necessary on either side of the debate.
Do you really expect Israeli policy to change based on how much you despise it?
Or could you possibly fathom a scenario where I change my opinion on it and would stop supporting Israel as the wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists or retaliate against Iran?
So what do either of us require "hope" for?
And if Palestinians don't learn their lesson from having their choice of Hamas' terrorists as their leaders, then yes they will continue to suffer for that decision. That's fine by me! If, as you say, they will not want peace now, then what makes you think that Israel will not continue to fight and destroy any further terrorist attempts that a new Gaza government will use against them? The simple truth is that nothing will change IF the people of Gaza choose a new terrorist government like Hamas to lead them rather than a government that is willing to recognize Israel legitimacy and peacefully co-exist with them. Some people simply refuse to learn from history to their own detriment.
Do you really think Israel (or me for that matter) care if those like you look at them as a pariah state, when that's exactly what they've faced for the past 80 years? How is it that you think it will bring about any change now?
Which they haven't had in decades of brutal Likud policies designed to keep them prisoner's in the world's largest open air prison ...
And yes ....Israel cares if it is deemed as a pariah state because it hurts them economically and also hurts their "Victimhood" narrative as well as destroys their credibility and influence with the rest of the world ....
ànd also ours as well ...
