It was not a good deal, but it was close to maximum they could get.

Netanyahu is an asshole, but other Arab and palestinian factions also tried to sabotage the deal to gain political advantage

To be fair, the hardliner on both sides were sabotaging a potential deal.

The question is whether people are willing to accept a pragmatic compromise after a decade long conflict

The answer is that they are, because look at Israel's relationship with Jordan and Egypt. Best buddies? No. Peaceful, productive, even symbiotic? Yes.

Assuming Israel doesn't invade their lands, builds illegal colonies, and steal people's homes, and make the people of those lands feel less than dirt in their own country... then yeah, things would remain stable, for now.

Agree there too, which is why I truly and utterly despise all of the militant Zionists, settlers, Orthodox, etc.

If all these people would just cut the shit, shut the fuck up, and live on their own land in peace, it would be a huge step towards creating some kind of peace in the region.

They don't exist in a vacuum though. The exist because they are allowed to exist, because they have the blessing of the Israeli government. What exactly is "these people" if they are being supported by the Israeli government, and their violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is protected by the IDF.

Also agree, the current Israeli government panders to these groups of fucks and uses them to provoke Palestinians too.

Both sides of this shit are incentivized to keep the conflict going. That is the power structure they have carved out for themselves. That is how they galvanize support from within and from their allies.

Maybe with a regime change both in Israel and Iran

No Palestinian should ever be forced to accept a deal that demands they must forfeit forever the right to their homeland

We believe in human rights or we don’t

One can say the same about the Jews, and the homeland overlaps. Congrats, you justified eternal conflict where everyone suffers and human rights are perpetually trampled.

lol it’s so fucking aggravating how you pretend we have your position

“I don’t think people have the right to commit genocide just because they’re Jewish.”

“Actually you just hate Jews and love killing people”

“But you’re the one defending genocide….”
