Palestine needs to give the 'peace talks' the finger and declare independence.
They have independence. They have 2 independent states for most purposes.
They have been at war in varying degrees for over a decade. You think this declaration will accomplish what?
Which piece are you referring to? What government? In Gaza Hamas fought a civil war with Fatah and won, held bogus elections and refuses to hold any more.
Really? Can you post up what their uniforms look like? Do they have just an army? what is the composition of this military? Who is their chief officer?
Same question.
Is that why they needed
emergency supplies in Gaza? They have no economy to speak of. They exist on international aid.
and international support (including elements in the West).
Who are these supporters?
They can survive and if Israel continues with the status quo (settlements, denial of water, ect.) or attempts to stop independence, it'll be an act of war on a state internationally recognized as independent, a state with lots of powerful friends.
lol - bullshit.
The fact is that Israel has pursued a policy of de facto imposed independence on them whether they want it or not.
So long as the PA recognizes Hamas as rebels and Gaza as illegally occupied territory (which they already do), they should escape any meaningful charges of terrorist support.
Oh... that's the only obstacle?
Dude, you have no clue what you are talking about. You post in threads related to the region and the Israelis that are so utterly lacking in fact and familiarity that they almost read like you did it on purpose.
The Palestinians have no government, no military, no police, no economy.... Hamas runs Gaza. Fatah runs the West Bank only through bribery. Your faith in the Palestinian people ignores the fact that the people with the real power have very little problem killing their own to keep that power. They have no interest in giving it up nor in making peace with Israel.
Should they decide to fight a war with Israel they will lose. They will lose quickly. This is why they do not fight wars with Israel. They launch terror attacks and fight asymmetrically to prevent peace from taking hold. No state is coming to the aid of Hamas nor Fatah nor the Palestinians. None. Iran sends money and weapons but they don't expose themselves to actual retailiation because they'll lose. Look up operation Praying Mantis to get an idea of what Iran learned about that.
