They will do it for the same reasons Qatar and Egypt compete for the negotiator role. Influence, prestige, and access to the USA government.

Also, as long as Israel plays ball, and the Gazans' lot is improved, they can earn cookie points. I do think, however, that most would condition that on some show of intentions toward permanent conflict resolution. Not necessarily a solution per se, a show will do.

Sure. If Israel against all past practice decides that it's not a zero sum game and that instead of economically repressing the Palestinians, it works to to Israel's benefit to promote their advancement. And if the Israelis actually manage to uproot Hamas for long enough for a better system to take its place. But I doubt that just a show would persuade nations  given what the inevitable consequence would be. I doubt that Arab nations would want to be complicit in that. What's in it for them but inevitable grief? Boots on the ground is not the same thing as feet at the negotiating table.

I think they say in Latin : Si una porta est aperta, totum urbis est.

 

Means : if you can open one door in this city, you can open the whole world !

 

Which is also applicable for the peace process of Palestine/Israel.

A deadly cascade: how secret Hamas attack orders were passed down at last minute

So only 29% of Palestinians want Israel eradicated? 

 

And (per your link) 57% of Palestinians feel closest Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad parties and both are terrorist groups, and both want to exterminate all the Jews in Israel, after raping many of them of course.

 

I think it's you that does not understand the data in your own link. 

This is laughabe you accusing me of not understanding data. You apparently haven't even mastered arithmetic:  27% + 7% = 34%, not 57%.

Another rant?

 

You referenced Barak's opinion piece, and raised question as to why Arab countries would commit. I gave several reasons for that.

Now you move the goal posts and treat it like some actual plan, policy shift and whatnot.

I never said anything about Barak's ideas becoming reality.

Well, you gave reasons. That doesn't mean they're credible. And really, that was a rant?

 

rant

speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way.

 

Clutching your pearls much?

Yawn. You go on an on about stuff - does it mean anything you say is credible?

Did you even have a point other than the obvious deflection?

 

Short, long, medium - half of what you spew here is basically the same rant.

It worked in the past for South Africa and Algeria to implement amnesty.

 

This means, both parties agree that war/conflicts stops and that full forgiveness will be granted.

This requires courage, wisdom and intelligence to force yourself and your enemy to live together under any circumstances (conditions).

 

Israel is unlikely to follow the South African model because such a deal would also entail giving up occupied Palestinian territory. Israel will eventually relinquish occupied land, but not peacefully.

 

Regarding courage, wisdom, and intelligence, consider the current Israeli government as an example. It comprises individuals facing serious corruption charges such as the Prime Minister himself, right-wing extremists like Ben Gvir and Smotrich.  And of course, we have the defense minister, Yoav Gallant, who thinks he is fighting human animals.

 

This lineup of leaders should be held accountable in international courts, such as the Hague. This is not the type of leaders with whom the Palestinians can make historic peace agreement.

 

Given the current level of violence, brutality and barbarism occurring in Gaza and the West Bank, it's unlikely the Palestinians will ever forgive these atrocities for generations to come (nor should the rest of the world).

Reported post and responses to it removed.

There is no equality in Israel. 

 

Since 7.10.2023, 374 posts suspected of incitement have been dealt with and investigations have been confirmed against 171 of them. More than 100 people have been arrested, and 44 indictments have been presented.

Israel withdrew, from or gave back (through agreement) land on more than one occasion - Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, South Lebanon. Israeli leaders did make offers towards a two-state solution involving withdrawal from the West Bank.

 

I'm not about to defend Israel's Prime Minister or government - made my views on that clear. That said, who's leading the guys on the other side of the fence(s)? No issues with that?

 

The Palestinians do not seem to invested in making peace, regardless of which government is in place. And that's without considering the Hamas, who's totally not into that anyway.

 

Kinda amusing that you'd reference the South Africa model, but forget that forgiveness is a two way street. Israelis will need to accept to forget the Palestinians' sins - which you seem to ignore or deny.

It's true that the main actors are far from willing to start the amnesty.

It requires mostly from the side with the upper hand to start the negotiations, in this case Israel who's the dominant part.

 

Imagine situations that you enter for instance the bakery and the killer of your parents comes in after you...

 

Does our evolution in humanity allow to live with these extreme accepted conditions together...?

Stop talking nonsense, Hamas has no intention of not killing Israelis, they started this war so stop making excuses for them!

You never post on videos or answer to new posts its like you only want a fight with him.
