If Israel’s intent is to never let the Palestinians have sovereignty, then I disagree with that. An independent Palestine is the best solution in the long run.

But as long as that state is under the control of violent extremists who do not accept the legitimacy of Israel and its right to exist as a safe haven for Jews, it’s just going to result in the same thing repeating itself eventually.
