Are you saying that Palestinians refused their own statehood or refused recognizing the statehood of Israel that was forced upon them? If the latter, that's quite rich considering Israel has taken additional land by force, while your pretending this was a peaceful decision or something. The borders were already defined when the Israeli experiment was established in the 1940's by the British and U.S.
Better questions...
How did the Israeli "open prison style" occupation of Gaza benefit Palestinians at all?
How did the IDF's killing of more Israelis than Hamas on October 7th benefit Israelis?
How does the IDF benefit Israeli hostages by killing more than recovered?
What is Israel / IDF getting it's own people in Northern Israel who are blaming Tel Aviv for Houthis missiles striking their homes?
Israel has exterminated mostly women and children (36K and rising in Gaza), but "Hamas is abusing Palestinians almost as much as Israel is"? WTF? Where is Hamas shooting, bombing, firing missiles at Gazans? Ohhh wait, you're using the IDF's 'splainin of "we had to strike universities, hospitals, homes, senior centers, water utilities, etc, and kill 36K women and children because Hamas is suspected to be hiding behind them".
Right now Israel is attacking Lebanon, Syria, Rafah, Gaza, West Bank, etc. You want to blame Hamas for that too?
Again, this conflict didn't begin on October 7th but you keep bringing that up like the mainstream media does.
Fam, so far I have respectfully answered every question but no one has answered mines. It's easier to deflect with bullshit or "better questions".
I will do so again, because these ain't my peeps and I have no emotional attachment to any of them. I REALLY don't understand why y'all taking it in that direction.
1. Literally, yes, the Palestinians have refused to accept the proposed statehood. That is just a fact of history. And every time they have decided to go to war to TAKE the territory, they've lost more of it.
2. Israelis open prison occupation is not meant to benefit Palestinians. It is meant to oppress Palestinians and benefit Israelis.
3. IDF did not kill more Israelis on Oct 7th then Hamas did. This is just silly. But here's another question that won't get answered. How did you feel watching the video of Hamas executing the brother who was at the festival? Shotgun point blank. No hesitation. For shits and giggles I suppose, since the brother was frozen in fear.
4. Bibi and the IDF do not care about the hostages beyond a few feel good photo ops.
5. You mean Hezbollah missile strikes, and Bibi so far has followed US instructions to keep this one cold. Hezbollah isn't really targeting civilians, they are more targeting military sites. Even so, Israel removed it's civilians from the area. If only Hamas cared to do the same for their own people.
6. I will repeat the question no one's answered yet. Since it was obvious that Israel would invade on Oct 8th, what did Hamas do to prepare it's population for the incoming onslaught? I will remind you that the Palestinians in Gaza are Hamas' responsibility. That's where the abuse comes in. What was the plan to protect Palestinians on Oct 8th? That's literally Hamas number one job!
7. Actually, Israel is retaliating against foreign nations that are helping Palestinians and helping Hamas. But you see this is the thing, actions have consequences. Israel's invasion is causing foreign nations to attack them. That's on Israel. Israel will attack them back, that's an obvious reaction. They are prepared for that reaction and they are preparing accordingly.
8. Obviously the conflict didn't start on Oct 7th. I look at Israel and go, duh Oct 7th was just a matter of time. I look at Hamas and go duh, of course you about to get invaded.
I'm the only one here who seems to want to talk about solutions. Do you know what would have been better for Palestinians then Oct 7th? Hamas peace with Egypt. Hamas peace with West Bank. Hamas peace with Jordan. I can go on. But they chose a killing spree and getting invaded instead.
