(19,416 posts)There are extremists in Israel that would take the land, but it will go back to being in the hands of the Palestinians soon enough.
The amount of legitimate hate on both sides is sad. The majority of both sides actually hate each other. It's not a situation where Hamas and Netanyahu are acting without the consent of the vast majorities of their populations.
The US is in a tough spot and Netanyahu wants Russia and Trump to control the US, but we also can't abandon Israel. We are putting more pressure on Israel than people know, but ultimately we don't really have control over it. After the bombing of the World Kitchen volunteers, I think we need to start cutting weapons deliveries down, but that's really not going to change anything.
