Here we have an article written by a Palestinian that has lived in Palestine his entire life, who has bern imprisoned and tortured by Hamas for simply criticizing the group, who is providing his first hand on-the-ground account that Hamas is sabotaging the peace process by engaging in violence against Palestinians, and your response is to deny his reality and claim that it’s Israel’s fault the way Hamas is behaving against fellow Palestinians?

There are reasons why the political Left has been accused of being unhelpful in the Middle East peace process and why some argue an underlying antisemitism is at play.

This is a strawman, the parent is right and nothing you just said detracts from their argument. We can and should encourage both sides to extradite their war criminals and stop the lawless killing that threatens civilians. Attempts to isolate the blame into one ethnic group is antisemitism in its purest form.

It is only possible to reach a lasting peace if both sides are willing. Palestinians are willing - are Israelis? I see the internationally illegal colonies being constructed in the Golan Heights and Hebron and have my doubts.

just wonder, do you know that hebron had continuous jewish presence for 2500 years or so with brief pause after hebron massacre of 1929 and after jordanian ethnic cleansing of jews from west bank after 1948 ?

also, based on what you say that palestinians are willing to reach lasting peace ?
