Pope Francis said on Wednesday a two-state solution was needed for Israel and Palestine in order to put an end to wars such as the current one and called for a special status for Jerusalem.

    Hamas and the like would never accept it. If it were up to Hamas and their allies there would be neither State of Israel nor any Jews around their rightful land. They would purge all Druze and Christians too. Not to mention lynch in horrific ways every queer person in the region. You do not strike deals with rabid cultists. Another useless virtue signaling fart.

      Yet, Israel is the blocking party of the two-state solution proposed under 1947 UN resolution. West Bank has no association with Hamas, but Israel refuses to honor the agreement with Palestinian Authority.

          Perez was a talker, I’ll give you that, but he couldn’t be bothered to lay out any plans apart from his empty words.

          But I agree with you that Netanyahu needs Hamas to be able to have an enemy instead of peace. In leaked private conversations, he even admitted to supporting Hamas leadership, as that allows him to sway public opinion in his favor. That of course backfired with the latest Hamas terror attack, and the majority of Israelis blame him for allowing the attack to happen.

          The terrorist attack on the buses were a response to IDF assassinations, while not in any way justified, it was a result of both parties actions not one party.

          I condemn all civilian killing by Hamas and IDF. Do you?

          Reality is that with every civilian killed, fathers and mothers left to mourn their dead children killed by Israel rockets and bombs just makes Hamas stronger. People who lost everything and have nothing left to live for are easy to recruit with the promise of revenge. So in a way Israel brought Hamas on to themselves, no?

              So we are in agreement for the most part. I still think that Perez was just talking and not actually planning to go thought with it.

              I have mixed feelings about how Israel came to be, but what’s done is done and the majority of Palestinians are in favor of a two-state solution, and their opinion is what matters. We should always strive for peace, and that often requires compromises.
