Reply #7: What do you expect? [View All]

The Israeli government is making the arrogant demands that the Palestinian state MUST be as small as possible, MUST have no right to act militarily in self-defense(something that is demanded of NO other country anywhere on the Earth), MUST accept the major settler blocs as permanent, and must permanently accept IDF troops in the Jordan Valley, at the heart of Palestinian territory(a demand that would, if accepted, make Palestinian independence conditional and not permanent, since the IDF could revoke it by force at any time).

This is the Israeli regime's fault for insisting that a two-state solution be as demeaning and humiliating as possible for the Palestinian people.

Can't you see the problem here?

If you want people to accept a compromise, you don't insist on making it a compromise that will feel to them like a defeat. A compromise means parity and both sides ending up with something like parity of esteem and parity of stature.
