Reply to comment by thatsnotwait in Israelis and Palestinians meet for talks on how to de-escalate recent wave of attacks by Smilefriend

> The majority of Israelis don't want peace (more specifically, they don't want to make the concessions required for Palestinians to accept peace).

The only concession that the majority of Palestinians are willing to accept is an end to the Jewish state and to push the Jews into the sea. This is the position of Hamas and a popular position among the people, even in Fatah/PLO controlled areas. The Palestinians rejected peace during the Camp David accords in the 90's when they were being offered everything except control of Jerusalem. Now they can't even get that offer back because of 25 years of settlements.

That's true for the old people in charge, but as the person I was responding to said, I highly doubt the regular guy in the Gaza Strip really feels that way. Unfortunately there aren't exactly credible opinion polls for the area.

Sadly, the new generation of Palestinians is shaping up as even more violent than the older ones. The older ones usually know Hebrew, have worked in Israel in the past. They hate the situation, but they know Jewish people and see them as human. The new generation, many of them never even set foot in Israel. They've been brainwashed since birth, some of the propoganda show Jews as having devilish horns. Terrorist Social media is strong and everything is radicalized. We've had 13 years old killing people a few weeks ago. They upload that shit to Tik Tok. Many of them don't listen to the "old people in charge" because they are seen as too moderate. It's early days but I'm not optimistic at all about peace with this generation.
