Israel tried to stop it with the 1993 Oslo Accords. The Palestinian extremist groups vowed to destroy the peace process.
Israel tried again in 2005 with a complete withdrawal from Gaza. The Palestinians had the chance to build a peaceful, self-governing community. Instead, Hamas took over and declared never-ending war.
After the Oct. 7th massacre is the wrong time to expect Israel to take the high road and “stop it”.
I agree that what’s happening to the Palestinians in Gaza is horrible.
But I haven’t seen anyone offer a better idea for getting rid of Hamas.
