Everything they (the Palestinian people) have done since the two-state solution came into effect, ie 2006.
You’re attributing all actions since 2006 to 'the Palestinian people' as a monolith.
Nice try. Please, in the future, refrain from more dishonest debate tactics. I'm not here to try to "win". Either have an honest conversation or I am out
Why not distinguish between the actions of militant groups like Hamas and the broader civilian population, many of whom have no say in these decisions?
I have adressed these issues earlier. The entire west has been conspiring for over half a century to rain money on any peaceful Palestinian organisation. Somehow those organisations just keep being a sham and eventually that money finances something going boom in Israel.
Yes, Hamas is a problem. But they have no political opposition in Palestine. There is none.
And talk to your Palestinian friends, have them try to explain the conflict. They just want all the Jews to fuck off "back home to Europe". That's what normal Palestinians think. That's being moderate in Palestine.
In Palestine you have extreme and more extreme. That's it
Do you truly believe it fair to hold an entire population accountable for the actions of specific groups?
So who's responsible if not the Palestinian people as a group?
What's your thinking here?
After WW2 we all blamed Hitler, so we could all move on. It was a convenient fantasy. A lie. The Germans, collectively was guilty as fuck for the holocaust. Not all of them as much as Hitler. And some did fight back.
Its a similar situation in Gaza as regards to the 11/10 attack. Everyone knew that an attack would come at some point. Hamas aren't exactly subtle in their official communications. Many many Palestinians could have stopped their nonsense at any time. There's just been no momentum against Hamas. Because Hamas has popular support.
I think it's perfectly fair to assign guilt to the Palestinians collectively.
Add to that when Palestinian refugees to Jordan tried to start a coup, (in Jordan). Rioting in Egypt. Utter chaos in Lebanon. The Palestinians seem to have a victim culture where wherever they go they behave appallingly and then it's always someone else's fault. The Palestinians (collectively) aren't exactly making an effort to make friends
If so, why hasn't Israel bombed the west bank in response to the October 7th attack? Israel doesn't seem to agree with your view.
Because Israel knows what they are doing and it would be idiotic to do?
Here's some highlights, turning Gaza into one massive military base wrecking the economy, at the first possible moment, or the 11/10 attack, or doing absolutely nothing to stop Palestinians going into Israel to explode themselves (the reason Israel built the wall), Al-Aqsa Intifada (don't remember this? Memory is short). Bottom line... it just goes on and on.
You mention events like the Al-Aqsa Intifada and suicide bombings without addressing the broader context, such as settlement expansion, military occupation, and restrictions on Palestinian movement. While the Al-Aqsa Intifada and suicide bombings are condemnable, they didn’t occur in a vacuum. How do you account for the impact of decades of occupation and the asymmetry of power in shaping these events?
Hmm.. "occupation". Go read history
There's very few examples of any attempt to build positive and mutually beneficial relations with Israel. I'd argue there's no evidence of any attempt by Palestinians to honour anything they've agreed with Israel on.
Your claim that Palestinians have made no attempt to honor agreements overlooks several instances of cooperation, such as the security coordination between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel, which persisted for years despite significant internal opposition. How do you reconcile this with your assertion of zero attempts at diplomacy?
PA was a dysfunctional sham of an organisation, that seems to exist for the sole purpose of syphoning off foreign aid.
The PA was always a joke that no Palestinians seem to respect
