Don’t you think that what is happening will lead to a generation that hates their neighbours even more?

If I were in charge, I would create the circumstances that prevent poverty, create work, and encourage cooperation between both nations hoping that time will heal the hate and anger that both sides accumulated over the years, this requires wisdom and patience from the political party that is smart enough to understand that neither party can redeem the whole land for themselves.

But as long as each party refuses to accept the other, regardless if they say it publicly or not the hate will never end.

unrwa schools teach since 50s about liberation of entire palestine from jews by force[0], jihad and glorification of martyrs[9]. change of curriculum was one of main israeli demands since oslo days because it was obvious that when you teach hate in schools it's not going to end up well for anyone. not sure that "even more hate" is something that people in Israel care about now.

Israel was biggest employer of palestinians from gaza and west bank. In fact, week before oct 7 number of work permits for gazans went up by 10k or 15k. This was because there were thought that economically stable gaza will be less likely violent and that hamas is somewhat interested in state building and prosperity. In aftermath of oct 7th turned out that workers from gaza (with permits) were scouting areas where they worked in order to make a detailed maps for attack and a bunch of attackers actually carried work permits.

when israel left gaza in 2005, inside israel was popular expression that "now that palestinians have complete self rule there, it's up to them what to build there, singapore or somali".

there is an israeli investor [1] who created design center in gaza, donated there money to hospital and employed palestinians from gaza and west bank. he daugher was murdered at nova. a bunch of people who lived in kibutzim around gaza were hardcore left and used to drive palestinians from gaza to treatments in israeli hospitals. they were murdered as well.

Israel being a large employer of Palestinians is not a point in their favor. They are an exploited workforce exploited by the people who keep them locked in a Babylonian style captivity.

Also Israel never left Gaza. They had complete control over the sea air and land entry and exit points. Gaza was essentially an open-air concentration camp. They even calculated the minimum calories required so that Palestinians would not be "overfed". I'm in constant disbelief about the nonsense that Zionists tell themselves.

There's no significant Hamas presence in the West Bank and yet there Palestinians are routinely kicked out of their homes, beaten and shot by fanatical settlers as the Israeli army supervises. That is the reality of Israel. A fascist ethnostate, lawless and hyper aggressive. A Rhodesia on the Mediterranean if you will.

I have the feeling you look at things from one side only, making one party as good and the other as evil, there are extremist groups in Israel too as there are in Palestine, each side made atrocities to the other, each side have people that really hate the other party.

Withdrawal from Gaza is very opinionated, some say it was to give Palestinians self rule as you say, many others see it as a tactical move making it an open air prison, and that Israel itself preferred that Hamas take over Gaza.

My only hope is that on both sides there are enough people that want to live in peace and prosperity with equal rights and care for each others regardless of their roots and don’t care if you call it Israel or Palestine or whatever.
