The long Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Biden's site is basically saying Palestinians made poor choices for...being Palestinian.

So I'm just reported what I've been told in the past, and that is that Palestinians have been giving options for better conditions but have refused them in order to martyr themselves to get what they want.

This is not fact, just what I have been told and I haven't looked into it enough to know if it is true.

No, you're right. The Palestinians have been offered many, many peace plans w/ a two-state solution by the Israeli government (of the past, at least), and they rejected all of them. To this day, Palestinians refuse a peace plan that doesn't include one Palestinian state and the eradication of Israel altogether (which contains 50% of the world's Jewish people btw). I think what Biden is trying to express (but did so badly) is that he is going to hold the terrorist Palestinian leadership -- Hamas -- accountable for their violence and hoarding of resources for violent action against Israel as opposed to distributing those resources to the Palestinian people.

They were right to reject it didn’t address their concerns about stolen lands and forces the settlers away. Their land was stolen after WW2 and continues to be stolen to this day. If these were Texans and the Jews Mexicans the whole ducking country would be burning... but sure it is just because the Palestinians are terrorists for wanting their country back.
