    Israel tried peace talks for over 60 years. When one side’s non-negotiable is “you all have a to die” it’s hard to secure lasting peace.

      People don’t seem to understand that the Genocide / Nazi argument plays against Hamas, lol.

      But yeah, it’s a tough situation. I’d argue that Bibi’s government was pretty shit at pursuing peace though.

      But that’s outside the scope of the conflict today. Almost everything has to do with Oct 7th. The good news is that Egypt and Qatar want a peace to work, and as Muslim countries they’re going to be Muslim-favored / more likely to have a lasting effect in the region (rather than say, a US brokered peace deal).

      So a path to peace … Or at least a ceasefire in this current flareup in hostilities… still exists. There is reason for hope.

        Totally. He’s massively implicated in propping up Hamas and undermining support for the non-militant Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. This is well-known in Israel at this point, and one reason for the coming reckoning he’s going to face at the ballot box.
