I realize this is a “conundrum”, but consider that many Palestinians are well educated people; in Gaza they are living in terrible poverty which only increases their bitterness toward Israel.
Given that Israel fears terror; could not Israel think of a better solution than continuing to hold their neighbors prisoner in such extreme poverty?
Continuing a policy based on ‘denial’: ‘this wall, checkpoint system will keep Israel safe’, isn’t working; Consider the recent Jerusalem bombing; neither has trying to get rid of the Palestinians;
What they haven’t tried yet, is to live in peace as was the policy (pre-1948) which was successful.
Whether many years of bitterness and hostility and murder (both sides) can be forgiven, no one can predict.
