The conflict has been around for 70 years, but these events were caused by moving the embassy and by having the opening on these dates. Trump knows nothing, but Bibi knows better.
Re: Other POTUS, they understood the actual moving of the embassy would only happen AFTER there was peace. Without a two state solution, there will never be peace.
I actually believe the move emboldened Hamas to craft the narrative it wants in front of more cameras to get more sympathy from people like you. Do you ever contemplate the fact that Hamas is a terrorist group? Do you ever sit back and think "hey, maybe this group deserves more scrutiny?"
Let's get beyond using human shields, women and children when they attack Israel, or tunneling into Israel to kidnap and kill Israelis.
Let's just look at these violent protests that have been going on for weeks. Tires burning to create smoke screens, Molotov cocktails being thrown, kites rigged with explosives, etc. Did the Israeli military provide these materials and say "we dare you" or something similar? Did they rush the border thinking "the Israeli military is letting us in to do as we please?" Families with kids have been casualties, why the hell are they there other than for the purposes of propaganda? So many questions, but the point you fail to understand is that there is responsibility on both sides.
Re: point 2, which side concedes in your dream scenario and when would it have happened? Pretty sure the Palestinians still wants it all. How do you negotiate with that, especially with Hamas in power. Palestine has the Gaza Strip and West Bank, not saying it's ideal and I'm not even sure if they control all of it completely, but it's something. Please lay out your plan for a 2-state solution that works because I'd love to read it.
More to the point, which side is our only true ally in the region on and does that even matter to you?
