    There’s been attempts toward peace in the past. The big one was when Gaza was given autonomy to elect their own government … and they chose Hamas. Yes Israel generally acts horribly, but it’s been both Palestinians and Israelis that have scuttled efforts to peace in the past,

        Dunno. He might support the current efforts, as you pointed out - he understood that Palestinians would never accept Israel’s existence.

          That’s not what he said, although it’s very similar. What was it about Israel’s existence specifically that he identified as the problem? I’m not sure why you wouldn’t know this, he was extremely specific about it and I just quoted it to you.

          Edit: I’ll give an even broader hint. If Israel existed in Africa, would that be okay with them? What about if Israel existed in Thailand? Would that be okay? So what is it specifically that the Palestinians have a problem with, about its existence, that makes it different from those specific scenarios?
