Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza years ago but has still had to contend w/ ongoing attacks from the territory, that aspect seems to be glossed over in coverage of the conflict. (It helps explain Netanyahu's durability in otherwise very volatile Israeli politics) =>https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/996391164365365248 …
The PLA/Hamas have turned down multiple opportunities. Recognize Israel's right to exist a majority Jewish state and give up right of return & there's a deal to be had on negotiated borders. Until those two things happen, there will not be any deal.

You betray the virtue of objectivity by only apportioning blame to one side. The fact that the Palestinians live in a perpetual state of a humanitarian crises is not enough punishment? And yes there has been punishment meted out to previous Hamas activities.
-
I apportion blame to each side when it's deserved. I think it's been too one sided in the other direction.
-
Is it too much to expect the more powerful, way more, to exhibit a greater sense of morality in prosecution of war and conflict.
-
Putting aside your argument who has exercised more morality in this conflict, I think you hit an important point. In fact, I think both should be held to the same standards, vs. putting more on Israel because they are more powerful.
-
I do not think that either the US or Israel will derive much advantage in strategic geopolitical schemes of it were to prosecute war with disregard to what they stand for, it diminishes their influence and threatens the current hegemony.

Disagree on a lot but really appreciate your feedback. Come again.

Thanks for the engagement.

That they're are designated terrorist organisation is a sanction that places restrictions on the group, every attack they've carried has always been met with international outrage and condemnation, and the consequent disproportionate retaliation by the Israeli forces ignored
-
What if they stopped supporting terrorist attacks?

The PLA does recognise Israel's right to exist so that claim is not entirely true. Secondly, why do you expect one side to make all concessions in the negotiations, why should they give up their right to get occupied territory back? In return for what?
-
They don't as a majority Jewish state, nor have they renounced the right of return. Get back to me when those two things happen.
