LOL, it was the U.N that offered to give a Palestinian  state in 1948 and Palestinians  reject that .

  Are you saying that the U.N offered conditions that broke international law ?

   Could you back that up ?

That's irrelevant. The Palestinians have a right to their own nation regardless of their animosity to Israel. Israel is denying that so it isn't any wonder they are hated. Right back to the Shatila massacre and before.

Netenyahu is a Psychopath and fanatic only interested in his own power , the Fanatics , sephardic jews racists and Ultra Religious jews are in control , but they are a minority ,, most secular Israelis I know  just want peace , If Israel does not come to an accomodation with  moderate palestinians  who are also a majority  the It is ultimately doomed .

 

I have relations there , have worked and lived there ... I have also worked with palestinians all over middle east , problem is Fanatics and vested interests   , nasty minorities that ruin the majorities  regular citizens life on both sides .. Jews and Arabs ... its a mess

 

Netenyahu should be in Jail anyway ,, another Bolsonaro, Trump, Assad, Putin, type monster

"Netenyahu should be in Jail anyway"

 

Who's to pardon ex rapists then?

 

"Former Israeli President Moshe Katsav was released from prison this week after public prosecutors decided not to appeal a parole board's decision to free him.

Katsav, 71, was released from the Maasiyahu Prison in central Israel on Wednesday after serving five years of a seven-year jail term for rape.

In December of 2010, Katsav was convicted of committing rape and sexual assault while serving as a cabinet minister. He was also convicted of sexually harassing two women while serving as president.

Israel’s eighth president, Katsav was a leading member of the right-wing Likud party, which is currently led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

He is the first Israeli president to serve out a jail sentence."

OK (if this poll is reliable).

However, people being people, opinions are influenced by perceptions. After years of Netanyahu's government, and on top of it after the so-called Trump "peace" plan, it is obvious that Palestinians were not expecting to see the opportunity of any fair two state solution soon.

 

When there is no realistic reply option, and you are <deleted>-off, choosing the less realistic and most provocative reply (regaining all of Palestinia) is not a surprising reaction.

Israel has deprived an entire generation o Palestinians the right to life, liberty and happiness. They don't get to claim distrust of Palestinian rights.

 

Netanyahu should face trial in The Hague along with many of his cronies. They engage in war crimes with impunity due to an outsized influence in American politics.
