(58,444 posts)That savagery played right into Netanyahus hands, keeping him in office to fight the war, when he would have been on his way out and prosecuted, if there had been no attack by Hamas. The Israeli leadership that would have taken over after Netanyahus ouster most definitely supported a 2 state solution.
Hamas was the side who opposed a 2 state solution. Hamas is explicitly committed to the destruction of Israel, and killing Jews from the river to the sea. Right before October 7, 2023, the US had negotiated an historic normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia, circumventing Hamas. THAT is what had Hamas, as you describe it, a wee bit riled up, not Palestinians losing the war of 1948. Political analysts and historians generally view the October 7 assault launched by Hamas as an effort to disrupt this regional normalization process and sabotage any diplomatic movement that sidelined Hamas.
Yeah, I agree, there is no further reason to continue this conversation.
