I really want Israelis and Palestinians to be able to live side by side in peace, but I don't know how that can ever be a stable situation while a significant portion of the Palestinian population can't be satisfied with trying to make good lives for themselves in Gaza, but want Israel wiped off the map, same as Hamas.
