    While I agree it would be better for the Palestinians to work with Israel than against it, that’s a hard sell when Israeli settlers and the IDF are actively being uber-dicks to them. That shit has to stop before the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza will even consider the idea of pursuing peaceful cooperation, and perhaps not even then. People forget that the Palestinians there hated Jews long before Israel occupied their lands. That whole region is just filled with centuries-long hate.

      At least those in Gaza had those “uber-dicks” removed from their faces in 2005, there are news videos that it was very forced, they were given a real chance there, but I know people will start with “open prison” again - while the blockade was clearly the results of terror attacks originating from inside Gaza strip. Mind you, if Hamas and other paramilitary orgs wouldn’t do this shit, they’d loose millions of their yearly budgets from Iran and the likes - and nobody (in positions of power) would have that…
