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 thought this was going to be a Pearls Before Swine style pun.
