    Hamas have tried to agree to boundaries Despite media attempts to portray it as a new Hamas charter, it is not.

      1. Isreal outstretched arms in peace… Just after laying waste to people’s homes and killing innocent lives.

      The fact of the matter is no one will agree to live in a portion of thier homeland, especially one were priced farmland and religious sites lay.

      They have historically lived in the area longer than the Jewish population.

        So, what happened in 1948 that lead to 1949, and what historically happened with the original inhabitants of the region (spoiler alert, the Jews) over the past 2000 years? Or does your knowledge of history stop in 1949?

          And what happened before 1940? And what happened before 1920? And what happened…

          This conflict is based on religion. There will never be one true “owner of the land” because land doesnt work like that.

            Hey, I think a peaceful solution where both co-exist can and should be implemented. That’s the ideal.

            I’m just pointing out that if we start going off history, it’s ultimately going to point at Jews being the original inhabitants of the land and having that land taken from them. Anyone who tries to justify atrocities against Jews with selective history or any whataboutisms is either completely ignorant of history or has an ulterior motive.

            The harsh reality is that the ultra-orthodox Jews will need to be silenced and the majority of men in Palestine will need to be as well. I’d hope for peaceful rehabilitation, we did a good job with it in Germany and an okay job in Japan. But the dark side of this is that it may end up with long or life-time internment for extremists. They will stop any peace process as long as they are free to interfere. And we’re talking hundreds of thousands of men here.

            At the end of the day though, if only one side is going to get the land due to lack of action from the international community, then it deserves to be Israel. If you think that’s wrong, then try chanting “Gays for Free Palestine” in Gaza and see what happens.

              It’s a vibes-based thing, then? Cool

                No, it’s based on who’s actively attempted to commit genocide and who hasn’t. And no, Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza. And if you genuinely don’t know about the multiple post-WWII attempts to kill all the Jews in Israel, then any opinions you have about the Middle East mean nothing.

              I mean the jews that fled to israel were being genocided everywhere. This all started way before the holocaust my dude. This conflict is not one to be very wisecrack about. How far back do you look for who is the baddie and whos the goodie?

                Yeah they definitely were, and that’s awful, all genocide is awful.

                Its hard to say how far back to look, one would hope as generations continue hatreds of past injustices (if anything was done to ease/reduce/eliminate) those injustices would start to simmer down on all sides.

                Unfortunately very often prejudices are passed down to the next generation which just starts the cycle all over again.

                Regardless, the Holocaust was horrible no question but that doesn’t then justify the government of Israel getting away with war crimes, nor does me saying that justify in any way the horrible things Hamas has done. However it is important to understand context especially in the more recent past.

                Understanding how and why the Israel/Palestine conflict has simmered would lead to how and why Hamas was formed in the first place, similar to how looking at America helped formed Al Queda to overthrow the Soviet-backed government of Afghanistan

          The Jews were not the original inhabitants of the land. That claim is solely on early Arabs. They lived, settled and thrived for 3000 years before they were driven out by Canaanites.

          Not only were the Arabs the original inhabitants of the area but they also lived there the longest amount of time.
