(36,476 posts)Here's what they said 'If a two-state solution was at hand just before October 7th you might want to let Netanyahu know that he lied about that before October 7th - repeatedly and consistently in numerous statements declaring there will be no Palestinian state. As late as June 2023 he stated publicly that Israel must block the creation of a Palestinian state. You think that might have got the Palestinians a wee bit riled up?'
I've even helpfully bolded the bit you missed.
Now, onto the rest of your post, which was lacking some context.
Hamas was the side who opposed a 2 state solution.
Yes, though Hamas isn't the representative of the Palestinian people. The PA is, and they do support a two-state solution. Likud does
Right before October 7, 2023, the US had negotiated an historic normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia, circumventing Hamas.
And was that finalised? Or is it like saying that the US had negotiated a historic truce with Iran? Same sort of thing. Negotiations aren't worth shit if nothing comes out of them.
THAT is what had Hamas, as you describe it, a wee bit riled up, not Palestinians losing the war of 1948.
Actually, Aloe Vera said it had Palestinians riled up, not Hamas. It seems to me there's a bit of conflating Palestinians with terrorists in yr posts, which should be avoided fwiw, Hamas's ideology IS rooted in the Nakba, anti-Zionism and occupation. They're also driven by what's going on around them in the region. Hamas isn't some one-dimensional organisation, but has a lot of different motivations, some of which include trying to weaken the PA and working with Iran. It had been in Israel's interest to let them continue doing their own thing until October 7 happened. The Israeli govt did have a habit of not seeing any difference between Hamas and the PA because that's what suited them in stopping a viable Palestinian state emerging.
