    If anything why do you expect them to make that step now?

    I don’t expect them to make that step. But there must be true willingness apparent to take that step, should this conflict ever come to an end.

    there needs to be a good faith effort from, well, anyone.

    True!

    There’s no reason they should be disallowed from running for elections in a post-conflict Palestine.

    If they give up their current main goal, the destruction of Israel, yes.

    Israel as a Jewish state built by Jews for Jews is already full of injustices

    How much Jewish life is there left in Palestine or even Gaza? Is Gaza, run by the Hamas, a secular entity open to all religions, protecting also their rights?

    I mean, I completely agree with you concerning equal rights for all regions, but this shouldn’t only apply to one side of the conflict. As far as I can tell, the problem of Hamas with Israel is not that a minority religion is not granted full rights along the states “main religion”, it is only that Judaism is the main religion and not Islam. That’s however no basis for a solution, only changing to opposite signs.

    Everything you want should come as part of negotiations between the two sides, not as a mere prelude to negotiations. It takes two to tango here

    Absolutely agree! However, speaking of pressure to be exerted by supporting nations on Israel, there has to be at least a perspective of achieving something positive with that and not just switching the upper hand to the other radical side. Then, there’s not only Hamas but also Iran that is set to destroy Israel. The potential pressure hence is also limited by the fact that Israel still needs to be able to fully deter this regime. And that’s where it becomes completely complicated…
