minus-squareatetulo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·9 months ago Israel has offered peace deals and two state solutions many times before. Palestinians always walk away. Why do you people keep saying this like it matters? Have you ever considered it’s what’s in those deals that is important? Take a look at the Native Americans for an example of a colonized people accepting their colonizers’ terms.
minus-squareflossdaily@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·9 months agoIt matters because Palestinians have zero leverage. Their choice is either make peace and build a future, or keep fighting a losing battle, and ensure that their children never have a chance. Israel can wait. Israel is thriving.
