Since the end of the cold war Israelis have pushed her to peace. Since the assassination of Rabin Israel, while divided on the issue, has largely been willing to go down a path to peace, independent coexistence. As evidenced by the various peace deals they’ve signed to that extend.

The violence from Gaza after the 2004 deal, which established the 67 borders and evicted all settlers from Gaza; has unfortunately caused Israel to stop believing peace is possible.

Gaza was a prove it deal, if there’s no peace im Gaza there’s no reason to believe a similar action in the West Bank would lead to peace.

Imagine not being able to read Hamas’s charter.
