“The craziness and hatred is inherent in Islam and its culture. The Palestinians do not want to reduce the conflicts with Israel they want to increase them.”
All societies have people who are bonkers. We have Maxine Waters and people who think the Russians caused Hillary to lose.
I’ve met many Muslims in my life and except for one obviously mentally in Paris, they’ve been quite sane.
There are some Palestinians who truly want conflict with Israel, but sane Palestinians who make the vast majority would very much just like to live a normal life.
Feel good happy talk that misses the key point: Muslim societies are animated by Islam and tend toward savage attacks on non-Muslims. Thus even the “good people” among the Palestinians support and engage in terrorism. They must be isolated and defeated, with methods both clever and cruel, within customary rules of war. But by any means necessary, they must be defeated.
From the Wiki article that you linked to:
“The site remains within the area controlled by the State of Israel, with administration of the site remaining in the hands of the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf.”
Israel has sovereignty over the entire area, and isn’t giving it up - nor should it.
Peace between the Paleoswinians and Israelis will never occur, no matter how much Israel gives up, so long as the Paleoswinians utterly refuse to recognize Israel’s right to exist. The Paleoswinians STILL favor a one-state solution - THEIR state. That is just a non-starter, but they keep teaching this to their children, perpetuating the seemingly eternal state of war. Frankly, giving up land, or even appearing willing to give up land, is a major sign of weakness in the eyes of the Paleoswinians. Israel has, hopefully, learned this lesson and will refuse to give up any additional land.
