Hence, the decades long Israeli control, occupation, settlements, wars and refusal of a two state peace treaty.
Simply no idea of what you are talking about. The two state solution emerged from the Balfour Declaration of 1917. From DAY ONE, Israel fully supported the agreement proposed, and from DAY ONE, the Palestinians said their only goal was the elimination of Israel and the death of every Jew. The Palestinians have NOT moved from this position in all the years since.
The fact that Israel has greatly tempered their response to each war STARTED by muslim states, and endless and repeated attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah, etc and all the other lesser known terrorist groups hellbent on genocide for all Jews has come to a point of absurdity.
If Netanyahu is not going to destroy Gaza, and leave it in ruins on such that it is never to be inhabited until such time the people of Gaza surrender and disarm, then I say leave it in ruins for a century. Enough is enough.
What would be the USA response if a cartel came across the Mexican border and killed 1,400 Americans in their homes, men, women, and children. Raped and mutilated whoever they chose. You think the USA would have a tempered response? Fat chance. And the occupation that would result would not end any time soon either!!!
Not matter what Israel does in Gaza, the majority of the world would never approve, so get it done. Eliminate the enemy, and either they surrender or they die. PERIOD!!!
