Democratic socialist politicians like Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib are right about the violence in Israel and Palestine: we should both be mourning civilian deaths and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation.
Israel has made it clear that it will not accept peace. Israel at no point in time was ever willing to accept a two-state solution. Israel and Hamas are terrorist organizations.
The difference between Israel and Hamas is that Israel is extremely well-funded and serves with consent of the governed whereas Hamas is extremely poorly funded and less than half of the population was born when they were “elected” and even fewer of them participated in that election.
Israel at no point in time was ever willing to accept a two-state solution.
This is objectively false. Please, just look it up. In recent times, a majority of Israeli people do not support it, but a majority did before the last five years or so.
Israeli politics are dominated by right-wing hardliners who need constant conflict with the Palestinians for their own political survival. Netanyahu himself has constructed his entire political identity around being the only person who can be trusted with Israel’s security. As long as this is the case, what the Israeli population wants or doesn’t want is immaterial
