i had this crazy idea that instead of bombing gaza and killing civilians they could have just worked with the gazans to respect their space, grant them rights in israel, not cut off food water and power, and work together to help everyone live together against radical elements.
but what do i know
Ignoring 75 years of history and conflict.
eh israel has to start somewhere to show they're serious and ready to change.
They've returned land to the Palestinians and pulled out settlers multiple times through that 75 years, yet Palestine goes right on back to attacking them.
Truly Israel is the victim here, those evil Palestinians trying to take their homeland back are just too much!
What homeland?
There has never been a Palestine, The area was part of the Persian empire, Greek Empire, Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, etc, and the Arabic people living there came and went. There is no Palestinian homeland, and very few people in Palestine can trace their ancestry back generations in that region, with many of them going there after world war 1
- The Land of Palestine: A Brief Overview Palestine is a geographical region located in the Eastern Mediterranean, bordered by modern-day Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon. It is part of the broader area known as the Levant, which has been a crossroads of various civilizations throughout history.
Before 1948, Palestine was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews, and Christians, as all groups had religious ties to the area, especially the city of Jerusalem. The land itself was under the control of various empires, such as the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and eventually the Islamic Caliphate and the Ottoman Empire.

So not the homeland of current Palestinians, understood. Glad you agree.
And neither of current israelis, so why are they granted a Israel and the others no Palestine?
Palestine is not attacking them. A terrorist organization is attacking them.
As the government of Palestine, and with broad support from the Palestinian people, and From Palestine, using Palestinians buildings as staging grounds.
Israel is being attacked by Palestine, and Palestinian civilians are dying because of it.
There is no military solution to this conflict.
Well, there is, but it's rather final
I honestly don't think there is any possibility of any two state solution to the conflict.
Either the land becomes entirely Israel, or entirely Palestine, or the conflict continues.
I honestly don't think they will ever be able to coexist peacefully, and that's unfortunate.
Under the first two the conflict will continue
Iran needs to lead in reasonable peace talks but at this time they seem unwilling
I don't think Israel will ever allow Iran to lead peace talks, they aren't exactly friends.
I should have said “from their side”
But Iran turning against Hamas is best for Palestinians and Israel would have to be willing to give concessions
You say that as if you think it hasn't been tried before.
it has been tried before but then netanyahu conspired to have rabin assassinated.
