They are not 2 separate sovereign states at war but an occupied people within one state that is actively hostile towards them.
This is a sovereign state, recognized by everyone but Islamic countries, at war with a nation that is recognized as a sovereign state by very few. It would be nice if they were 2 sovereign states but violence must end for that to be possible.
You are implying that Israel is illegitimate and does not/should not exist, but there's a lot of Israelis who disagree and aren't going anywhere. What are you suggesting should be done with them?
A one state solution was possible at one time, until Arab Nationalists started murdering Jews for legally buying land and never stopped. If it's impossible at this time it's thanks to them. Damn the consequences of their own actions?
A “government” which does not control the border, air or port is symbolic at best.
Perhaps if Hamas put more effort into improving the lives of Palestinians than trying to genocide Jews they wouldn't be in this predicament. This is why they don't have control of their borders.
200+ civilians were killed in the west bank in 2023 prior to october 7th but that’s not violent terrorism in your eyes is it?
I don't know the circumstances of these civilian deaths, perhaps some of them were. If so, I hope evidence exists so that the perpetrators can be prosecuted. If Palestine wants the IDF gone, peace and compromise and an end to intifada is the only way that will happen.
