Israel-Hamas War 2023

And everyone knows that.  That's why nobody would provide peace keepers.  The Palestinians understand that violence works.

Tyr, Will "IDF fucking off back to their own country and letting the Palestinians get a proper working state up and running."  Actually stop Palestinian attacks?

Even if a Palestinian government took over with the best of intentions I don't think they could do this. Which is why I said back in 2006 that some kind of force needed to be deployed in Gaza to establish stability, disarm the militia, and guarantee Israeli security. To do otherwise was just to set up the Palestinians for failure and well...here we are.

They'd just end up attacking those peacekeepers too.

Sure. But it is the only way.

I don't think every Palestinian is a fanatical nutcase. But a sizeable group is, a group sizeable enough to always ruin any effort to end the conflict. Unfortunately, the same is true of the Israelis. That is why peace is unlikely without significant effort and sacrifice.

And if nobody wants to establish peace it is because nobody is really that interested in resolving this conflict. That has been a problem all along. Everybody can say they want peace in Palestine/Israel but nobody wants to actually do the work to establish it.
