Because Israel has stopped trying to settle it , and instead just dehumanizes Palestinians in the mediaThis is completely false . But if you look at Palestinian media , you ' ll se kids on governmentsponsored TV talking about killing Jews , and parades in the West Bank not the Hamasrun area 844 docid 16905 feature kids holding mock weapons and in terrorist garb . executes them without a trialThis is false . Israel kills anyone trying to attack Jews , in the act . One soldier , in Hebron , famously killed an attacker after he had already been neutralized . That soldier is now on trial in Israel for murder . Compare that to Palestinian society , which pays salaries to terroristsfreezes 30 m i n a i d t o p a l e s t i n i a n soverpaymentstoterrorists and throws parades for them . performs collective punishments and reprisals like tearing down a neighborhood where a terrorist was bornThis is completely false . Israel destroys the house of a terrorist , and only rarely at that . The vast majority of home demolitions in those types of cases also involve families who knew what their kin was going to do . both kinds of violnece banned by Geneva convention after the Nazis used them profusely against Jewish populationsUh , no they did not . The Nazis did not tear down the homes of Jewish combatants , they stole them . The tearing down of a house not a neighborhood has been shown in academic studies to effectively deterSuicideTerrorism % 20 Evidence % 20 from % 20 House % 20 Demolitions . pdf terrorism , which makes it permitted under the Geneva Conventions also , it is permitted because it is the law previously used in the territories , which Israel is obligated to uphold according to the Geneva Conventions . Palestinians live in despairAbsolutely . Yet their leaders are millionaires and billionaires . The problem isn ' t Israel defending itself , it ' s that Palestinian leaders have lost billions in aid money . They lost almost 2 billion euros , 7340 , L 4440224 , 00 . html from the EU in 20082012 alone , not to mention the US aid they get , and the Arab world aid they get . The problem is their leaders and corruption , which is also why peace is missing why make peace when you can get rich and blame Israel for all your problems ? It ' s the same strategy the Arab states used for decades . these days atheist bloggers go and stab a few Israelis before being shotYou kind of skated over this . There ' s a long history of this kind of thing . It ' s not because of despair , it ' s been happening since well before this all came along . Many of the terrorists are not atheist bloggers , they say openly that they want to defend Al Aqsa , a religious site that Palestinian leaders spread rumors about , saying Israel is about to destroy it and killing Jews in defense of it is great . You can even see the Palestinian moderate leader in the West Bank saying Jews have filthy feet and will defile Al Aqsa which is also a holy site in Judaism because it sits on the remains of the Second Temple , and that killing Jews and dying means your blood is pure 157 docid 15714 . even left the religious dimensionAbsolutely not . See above . Palestinians have no hope and so they killThis is false . They have had offers for peace for decades . They were getting offers for peace in the 1990 s as suicide bombings began . They were getting offers for peace in 2008 as a war with Gaza began . They saw a withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 , elected Hamas to their legislature a few months later , and two years later before Gaza was blockaded , and while it was unoccupied Hamas took over . They chose further conflict , because that ' s what their leaders taught them . It ' s sad , and similar to what Saudi Arabia does to its own citizens . when they tried diplomacy e . g joinig UN Unicef Israel bombed them for it . what ? This makes no sense . When they tried diplomacy , Palestinians got the first selfrule in history , getting the Palestinian Authority and areas where they ran the daytoday lives of 90 % of Palestinians . That Palestinian Authority then turned around , lost Gaza to Hamas , stole money and aid from its people , and funded terrorism . It still does . Israel didn ' t bomb them for joining the UN . Half of Israel realizes this is a nightmarish road to follow but the conservatives are in power , so down the nightmarish road we goIsrael ' s rightwing realizes that there can be no solution so long as Palestinian leaders virtually daily encourage violence against Jews . Particularly since , according to Palestiniandone polls , even if Israel withdraws every single settlement , and every single soldier , which is more than what the entire world demands the world believes land swaps should happen 50 % of Palestinians will still reject peace , and 60 % will see it as a way to later destroy Israel .
