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 entire problem with you and your ilk,those who justify every unnecessary massacre, those who place Israel above international law and rules of engagement, see this unilateral vacation of an occupied territory as a favour to the population indigenous to that territory.

Both sides should be held to account. Often only one side is.

And how do you hold them to account when you deny them nation-state status? The traditional ways of sanctioning deviant behaviour from established international law and norms becomes problematic in application.

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.

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.
