Bill Clinton talking about Gaza, 2016

https://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/bill-clinton-palestinians-israel-223176

Ran across this while searching for something completely different. Seems like a pretty intelligent take on the issue.

The one thing I note is the idea of "giving" Palestinians all of Gaza - exactly why the deal failed. Palestinians feel like they should not have to be "given" anything. On their end it was about accepting much less and having that written in treaty.

If Hamas has used their funds and efforts to build a society instead of tunnels and missles the Palestinians would be in much better shape.

That was their choice, not Israel’s

@Bumbles I would say the same about the USA. We are just lucky to have a lot of land and resources, so we can spare to waste a bunch of money on warfare.

@trollslayer Depends on the warfare..
