You’ve repeated the “Right to Exist” point - this is not the same as peace. The demand that “Israel” be allied to exist is for many Palestinians a demand that what they consider to be “Palestine”, “from the river to the sea” - their ethnic-religious birthright, be surrendered, given away forever. That is not the same as demanding peace. Having this concession demanded is also to many of them a force of colonial aggression, the same threat that you hear of Palestinians wanting to destroy Israel.Lost in your history lesson was shortly before hamas won the election they were responsible for most of the attacks against Israel leading up to it, a vast majority of Palestinians (80%) wanted Hamas to seek peace with Israel , and after the election given they were given the chance to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist Hamas refused to do so.
So I think where most disagree is who made the poor choices.
You’re of the mind that one people deserve to claim this land, having won a war, and that the other lost a war and needs to concede the land. There will never be peace under those terms. Especially not when Israel has long ago expanded their settlements beyond those borders established in the war, quite literally stealing homes from Palestinians every month.
