> And they are probably right! Israel remvoed the settlements from Gaza, removed all military presence from Gaza, and the Gazans elected Hamas, which took over the Gaza strip (killing all PA members), then spent 15 years shooting rockets at Israel continuously It probably would have been a good idea to: NOT bulldoze Gaza's airport ( https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2014/08/31/344329313/gazas-shattered-airport-once-a-symbol-of-sovereignty https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2014/08/31/344329313/... ) NOT bulldoze the foundations of Gaza's seaport ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/1483754/Palestinians-to-rebuild-Gaza-sea-port-in-latest-peace-move.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/148375... ) Enact revenue sharing for the offshore natgas income partially extracted from Palestinian waters ( https://www.usip.org/publications/2023/08/how-gaza-marine-deal-could-benefit-palestinians-israelis-and-region https://www.usip.org/publications/2023/08/how-gaza-marine-de... ) Of course the outcome will be the same as Gaza if the period after negotiations fail is contemporaneous with "grind their economic opportunities into the dust....literally". If an asshole moves into your master bedroom and you want him GONE.....but he proceeds to hook you up with a FAANG job that prints money (and no, "aid" is not the same as the self-respect that comes with controlling your own destiny via hard work)....you'll be more inclined to tolerate living with him, after a period of extended mutual disdain, of course.
