    I am by no means an expert, but I’ve been hearing about the conflict from both sides for several decades now. My take away is that both sides seem ideologically opposed to the existence of the other.

    If Israel stopped all aggression today, I don’t think it would stop the rockets; likewise Palestine could halt all aggression and still be attacked by the IDF. Lasting peace will require a shift in perspective, which gets harder to imagine with every day of the invasion.

      Heavily disagree. Israel has always been the agressor especially in the west bank. The entire existence of israel is illogical if not for them being a colonial agressor.

      Their strategy is to violate boundaries until someone retaliates and then they “self defense”.

      They used to drive their tractors over borders even when told they could not. Then when they went so deep they got shot, they needed to “defend themselves” onto their land. As a “buffer zone”.
