They do all the time, but Israel sabotages any attempt to reach a two-state solution. Take for example the so-called Great March of Return (2018), where thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, who lived under Israeli blockade (land, sea, and air) for over a decade, marched peacefully towards the border with Israel to protest the blockade. What did Israel do?

- Israeli snipers shot a large number of protestors

- 214 Palestinians, including 46 children, were killed, and over 36,000, including nearly 8,800 children have been injured

- 81% of the gunshots were to the legs

- 122 people had one or both their legs amputated (including 20 children)

Also, what kind of peace Israel wants when they let their settlers attack Palestinians in the West Bank, aided by the Israeli military, and without consequences? All Israeli settlements are illegal under international law. Maybe they should start dismantling those settlements first?

If Israel wants peace, they should accept the two-state solution and let the Palestinians have self-determination, instead of making their life hell on earth with their apartheid regime.

We noticed the sincerity of this outreach on the 7th of October 2023, with 1,195 people butchered by the terrorists and 251 hostages taken. We are still grappling with the results.
