Israel Pumps Desalinated Water into Depleted Sea of Galilee

qatari money was allowed into gaza by request of international community to stabilize humanitarian situation.

jews in west bank are indigenous. those area called Judea & Samaria and were renamed into west bank by jordan after 1948 in order to erase connection with jews. there been continuous jewish population in west bank for thousands of years with exception of period after 1929 hebron massacre and jordanian ethnic cleansing of jews in 1948.

most of jews in israel are those that were expelled by arab/north african countries. if you will ever visit israel, it will be hard for you to figure out who is jew and who is arab, because they look same. also, unlike you, we don't separate jews based on their origin, because they are all jews

Was this like a case of them agreeing to something they knew Israel would never allow(letting Hamas officials run in Palestinian elections)?

> The US and Israel call all resistance to Israeli occupation terrorism;

I don't think this is true, it's generally the violent resistance that is called terrorism, probably because there's quite a lot of that going on.

> the PLO (not the Fatah faction but the whole umbrella organization), which is organizationally coextensive with the Palestinian Authority, is a Congressionally-designated foreign terrorist organization which has had Presidential waivers allowing certain interactions since 1993.

Presumably that would be due to the PLO having engaged in and supported terrorism[0]. The Martyrs Fund is not exactly small:

> These payments, total more than $300 million annually, representing approximately 7 percent of the PA's annual budget.

Doesn't give them a right to commit war crimes though.

> In so far as the resistance is confined to military targets it's entirely lawful.

Palestinian "resistance" tends to not confine themselves to military targets in general.

> The same sort of Westerner who immediately understands Ukrainian resistance struggles to understand the Palestinian perspective.

I don't recall Ukrainian resistance targeting civilians in general.

> They're never held accountable and have significant support from the right-wing members of the coalition government - cabinet minister Ben-Gvir was the lawyer for the settlers who burnt a Palestinian baby alive.

Ben-Gvir was convicted of supporting a terrorist organization by Israeli courts and has very little support amongst the Israeli public, Israel just tends to get more extremists in the Knesset due to the proportional voting system than say in a country with a two party system.

> The ultimate motivation for these actions is the ethnic supremacist cult of Zionism.

Jews have a pretty bad history when it comes to living as ethnic minorities in other countries, it's not surprising that they would want at least 1 state in which they are an ethnic majority amongst the many Muslim majority states.

In the past there has been some desire to do so, although that's faded quite a bit as it has become clear there is at the moment no real partner for peace on the Palestinian side. Palestinians need a leader who is truly interested in peace, sort of like Sadat was in Egypt who was critical to normalizing relations with Israel. Ultimately what many in Israel want is a real peace deal, but without a party on the other side that's going to be pretty difficult.

> Just this month Israel killed 2 brothers (children), because they were identified as a threat.

I'm not sure what specific incident this is in reference to but there are plenty of security threats in both the West Bank and Gaza, and it's pretty well known that Hamas uses child soldiers as well as human shields.

> They continue to expand settlements

I agree this is problematic, but terrorism is likely only going to encourage settlement expansion as settlements are seen by some in Israel as providing a security barrier. Israel is a country lacking in strategic depth[0] and the West Bank is especially problematic due to its proximity cities like Tel Aviv. After the previous failed unilateral disengagements in Gaza and Lebanon I think it's extremely unlikely for Israel to continue with that strategy.

> they bomb during ceasefires

Often in retaliation for ceasefire violations on the part of terrorists.

> Can you give me any example of Israel really attempting peace?

For example the 2000 Camp David Summit, where Israel made a number of offers that Palestinian leadership rejected without making any concrete counteroffers, this peace attempt immediately preceded the Second Intifada. Part of the reason Israel is often wary of peace attempts like this is due to Palestinian leadership not negotiating in good faith.

> 2005 disengagement, but they have the levers to keep Gazans on the brink of death, by bottlenecking food, water, etc.

What do you expect Israel to do when Hamas starts attacking Israel and stockpiling weapons. If Israel hadn't been attacked I think it would have been pretty unlikely for them to have blockaded Gaza.

> Just because it's called disengagement, doesn't mean it really is. Don't accept their propaganda at face value, or anyone's, obviously.

They evicted every Israeli from Gaza and gave it a try, clearly unilateral disengagement just doesn't work, and in the case of Lebanon with Hezbollah Israel had a similar issue and there wasn't even a blockade there.
