Violence rarely makes things better. Which is why, despite the Israel army displacing, murdering and sexually assualting the people of Palestine, I will never celebrate their armed response. I do, however, hope that the UN will finally get off their arses and give the Palestinians full membership, so they can live without fear of being kidnapped or murdered by the IDF.

Just kidding, the UN won't do shit to a nuclear power.

You missed it. I'm talking from the pov of Israel, not Palestine.

Hamas has it in their charter to destroy Israel and every other Jew in the world...

"From the river to the sea" doesn't mean "hey Israel, get off our backs" it means death to Israel. And when has appeasement ever worked?

You also never answered my question.

From Israel's POV, the answer is simple. Stop giving money and weapons to Hamas. The Palestinian Authority has UN not-membership and widespread international recognition; without Israeli interference they will displace Hamas from Gaza. This will also keep Israelis relatively safe, since unlike Hamas the PA are okay with a compromise.

And when has appeasement ever worked?

Since WW2. There have been multiple occassions since then when country A was being an arse and country B had a moral and legal right to retaliate, but didn't. And thanks to their restraint, WW3 hasn't happened yet.
