I think the Trump administration shut off the light at the end of the tunnel, and removed any illusion that anyone was going to negotiate with the Palestinians. Israel simply said, "Fuck you. We're taking it all... Die." In reality that was always the plan.
Again, in 70 years, the basic statement has never changed.
And the Trump administration said, "Cool... Go ahead."
From the Palestinian perspective, there is no longer anything to lose. They are all dead or exiled, both in Gaza and the West Bank. And from Israel's perspective, I'm sure it's a relief to take off the hood... I mean mask, and be the murderous ethnic cleansing monster they always pretended not to be.

The war will GIVE us the land. The concept of 'ours' and 'not ours' are ONLY CONCEPTS for peacetime, and during war they lose all their meaning." (Benny Morris p. 170, & Expulsion Of The Palestinians, p. 180) - - David Ben-Gurion [David Green (Gruen)]
Do you speak Hebrew? Is this translation accurate? Because if it is, this is the way your Israeli psychopaths think. Please explain what the difference is between the Israelis and the Nazis because they sound identical to me.
brooklyn13, Unarguably it is Israel's refusal to concede an independent Palestinian state. Hamas was elected because the people of Gaza saw the PLO too compliant to Israel. It is Netanyahu's opposition to a two state solution which is at the root of the conflict. All you other comments are bye the bye when looking at the basic cause of the conflict.
