Palestinians would be happy with a state on some of Palestine. Israel won't be happy till it has all of Palestine. And please don't tell me about all the beautiful offers Israel gave the Palestinians, especially Trump's steal of the century.

Would they, Sean? Ever heard the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"?

"Tens of thousands of supporters watched the Hamas prime minister, Ismail Haniya, speak from a large outdoor stage in the shape of a ship with a model of Jerusalem’s Al Aksa Mosque. Denying speculation that Hamas would turn its attention to nonviolent resistance, Mr. Haniya said: “Today we say it clearly. Armed resistance and armed struggle are the strategic way to liberate the Palestinian land from the sea to the river.”"

Who should we believe, Sean? You, or the Palestinians themselves?

The PA, Israel’s security contractor in the West Bank has taken the path of nonviolent resistance and were has it got them. More and more settlements, more and more evictions, more and more killings, more and more violence by the settlers aided by the IDF.

As for Hamas, some say that it is a creature of Israel, just like the PA.

Nice talking points, but let's stay on topic. When you say "Palestinians would be happy with a state on some of Palestine," which Palestinians are you talking about? You can't possibly mean the Palestinians in general.

If the PA and Hamas are contractors and creatures of Israel, then who represents the Palestinians? And if the answer is no one, what are you basing your statement on? Are you a mind reader?

When you say that Israel would be happy with a Palestinian state on some of Palestine, which Israelis are you talking about? Surely not Netanyahu, if your quotation of him is anything to go by.

If the Israeli government does not represent all Jews, then who represents the Jews?*** And if the answer is no one, what are you basing your statement on? Are you a mind reader?

***Note: it is antisemitic to hold diaspora Jews responsible for the policies of the Israeli government, so you probably shouldn’t suggest that the Israeli government speaks for all Jews.

I never said that the Israeli government speaks for all Jews. Honesty clearly isn't one of your strengths.
