    yet refuse to negotiate for a viable piece?

    Look at any colonized people who have made peace on their colonizer’s terms for why they might not want to do that.

    Let’s see here, just off the top of my head:

    Native Americans, Native Australians, Native South Africans.

    To be fair, Palestine already resembles the reservations and slums the native people I mentioned have been forced into by their colonizers.

      Jews were more refugees than colonists and are playing by a much more humane playbook than the colonizers of those other groups did, but let’s ignore that for a second. Look at what has happened as a result of refusing to make peace. Is Gaza faring better than most former colonies right now? Your example, Native Americans, may have some issues and may have been screwed out of their ancestral lands but they have full US citizenship, freedom of movement and freedom of return. They aren’t being bombed because they aren’t hostile and aren’t killing civilians.

        How many years did that take?

        They aren’t being bombed because they aren’t hostile and aren’t killing civilians.

        Blankets you dumb fuck.

      I feel like you are missing the line between fighting for their freedom, and publicly raping innocent concert goers to death a bit, though. I completely understand them lashing out. I will never understand the targets that they chose to lash out at. It’s not smart from a strategic standpoint, even.
