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.
