19. How is this "Biden doctrine" going to stop the Palestinians from being a threat?

They OPENLY continue to call for the TOTAL destruction of Israel & "death to jews". They raise their children that way in school. They elected Hamas as their leaders (although Hamas has never allowed ANOTHER election)
The majority of Palestinians still want a ONE state solution; ALL of Israel. The numbers do fluctuate but they're still high.
You are CERTAINLY right in the fact that Iran couldn't stomach ANOTHER Arab state, especially their arch rival S.A., making a peace deal with Israel
But as I often ask, why dont these rich Arab nations offer to rid the terrorist threat from the Palestinians in Gaza? Why cant THEY offer to provide a security force to prevent raids like Oct 7? Provide an actual working govt organization for them until they can get their shit together? I would think Israel would welcome that. But THEY need to get rid of Netanyahu too; he's an impediment to any legit peace deal. and the MISERABLE failure of the govt to stop the Oct attacks, which they KNEW was probable, is probably the first step to doing that

I hear you. But just because we don't know how that will work, doesn't mean we should doubt Biden's making it work. ancianita Feb 2024 #20
