At least the step taken with a recognition of a Palestinian state moves the region closer to peace. Isn’t that what we all want for the people living in the region?
I also wonder every time someone labels Palestinian groups as terrorists how one sided this label is. Israel has killed and imprisoned many many multiples of Palestinians both through the current war and all through the past. To simply label the groups that step forward in leadership roles for Palestinians as terrorists seems overly simplistic to me.
You don’t think terrorist is an appropriate word for people who celebrate the kidnap, rape, torture, and murder of civilians at music festivals? Surprise, surprise.
And even after what Hamas did on 10/7, it's amazing how Israel still came out looking like the @ssh0les.
Well, when you steal another people’s land and tell the world that it’s your right because “god said so”, then yeah, that makes you the @ssh0le.

Biden needs to stop supporting Hamas and questioning Israel. The Israelis will need a lot of money to rebuilding Gaza once the Palestinians are gone.

And what imaginary state will be recognized next? Narnia? Middle Earth?
As usual, this virtue-signaling doesn't help a single Palestinian.

At some point Israel will have to stop the land grab in the West Bank, or tell the world what kind of border they need to stop taking more land
Netanyahu is too extreme
