Not entirely a bad defense for either side - both are shit (and yeah, I for the most part work for an Israeli company and have a lot of Muslim friends, so...yeah)
The real problem is neither Israel or any militant faction of Palestine will give up any control of the old city. 100% or you die. That is the terms. Put 2 year old kids in a room with chainsaws, grenade launchers, machine guns and laser swords and their favorite toy in the middle and say "share fairly" and see what happens.
If you have a solution, please propose.
Sadly, I GET Netanyahu's stance. Hamas's purpose, first and foremost, is to destroy Israel by any means possible. That is apparently following Islam, at least certain Imams to the letter. You want peace, Israelis? Kill yourself. That is the only option. Hamas is playing the "we are oppressed" bullshit card, and they are the ones stealing food from the oppressed.
The whole settlement thing is so biased - the Israelis think they own it, the war the Palestinians lost to take all control says they don't, international law says it is Palestinian... I honestly say share the damned land, have a neutral broker. I'm not a fan of "occupied territories" after 50+ years either, especially with long term peace.
