    The actual solution would have been to build up Palestinian groups who oppose Hamas and prefer a two state solution, but that isn’t the IDF’s goal.

    This idea supposes that Palestinians themselves are somehow too incompetent to do it without external help. Which reality seems to agree with.

      Not really. Israel has attacked and undermined the PLO for decades, almost more than Hamas. It’s the situation of Israel stepping on the throats of all Palestinians, even those who want to work towards peace. The two state solution requires Israel’s support, and when they don’t give it, those attempting to make it happen on the Palestinian side look like fools. Israel has the power to allow for peace, but they make it near impossible.

      Palestinians can’t make a two state solution happen without the cooperation of the other state. That’s what two state means.
