[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1183479, member: 82670"] Exactly, that’s what a compromise is, neither side getting exactly what it wants and both sides giving up something, but both sides agreeing on something to move forward. I think in the past Isreal has been in that place but I’m not sure Arafat, and now certainly Hamas, would’ve ever accepted a 2 state solution and as I say, more worryingly, your average Palestinian probably isn’t to keen on a 2 state solution either. Just as I hope for the average Israeli citizen to keep their house in order and get some moderate peaceful leader in charge I would hope that Palestinians do the same but, tbf, it’s a lot harder for them considering they don’t live in a democracy and the conditions they live in (in large part due to Hamas) are pretty horrific so understandably are going to be more susceptible to extremism but only slightly more than Isrealis. I know Hamas rule with an iron fist as well but ideally there’s an uprising of some sort against them from ordinary Palestinians but I don’t think, again understandably, there’s any appetite for that at present.
