Here’s a recent poll of what Palestinians want. Support for continued armed struggle on one side and negotiations and peaceful resistance is about split. Support for the most realistic option for peace in the form of two states in at 44% currently.
I personally know Palestinians, who work towards peaceful coexistence in two or one state. They hate Hamas with a passion. Their stories about the lack of free press and free speech in Palestinian society under Hamas and the PA are disturbing. They have to be very careful to not suffer serious consequences.
I’m not saying Palestinians don’t want peace. Their political leadership has made lots decisions, that turned out badly for Palestinians. Israeli politicians have made a ton of terrible decisions as well, especially Natanyahu.
Israel does a lot of things, I don’t approve of. The settlement and occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has to end. Palestinians deserve a better life.
There are structural reasons on both sides that enable the continuation and worsening of the conflict. These feed each other in a spiral. Israel is more powerful and has more responsibility to change. However Palestinians have agency as well and something needs to change as well.
Arafat recognized Israel and stopped armed resistance, Israel continued the occupation and ethenic cleansing. Israel is the only reason why Palestinians are not free. No amount of lies and removing context with change the fact. None of your bullshit will make people think you do not support genocide. You are just doing victim blaming
Ethnic cleansing was happening between Oslo and the second intifada?
demolishing palestinians houses and expulsing them is ethenic cleansing and it happened during the oslo accords and the second intifada where more palestinians was murdered than israelis and that arafat accepted which you lied about the other time
