Is there any humane answer to solve the eternal suffering of the
Palestinians?

There is a humane answer to solve the continual suffering of the
Palestinians.

They need to accept a two-state solution which recognizes Israel as a
legitimate country with the right to exist within its current boundaries.

A two-state solution has been proposed many times since 1937. The UN
adopted a proposal in 1947 which gave Arabs and Palestinians the major
portion of the land and Israel a tiny sliver.

Israel accepted it. The Arabs rejected it.

And then launched an all out war against Israel in 1948. Israel won that
war and took more of the land to create a buffer zone around their
fledgling country.

Through the years there have been numerous attempts at a two-state
solution. Part of the solution is that the Palestinians and Arabs
recognize Israel as a sovereign country with the right to exist within
its existing borders.

The proposals have been rejected over and over again on the grounds that
the Palestinians and Arabs don’t agree that Israel has the right to exist.

And often the breakdown of negotiations results with Israel being
attacked again. And Israel responding militarily until a ceasefire is
agreed to.

So there is a humane answer to end the continual suffering of the
Palestinians.

Palestinians need to agree to recognize Israel as a sovereign country
with the right to exist within it’s current borders. Israel is not going
to abandon their country.

Stop attacking Israel with the intent of annihilating Israel and Jews.
Israel will defend itself and fight back. And that always ends poorly
for the Palestinians.

Put into power those who want peace not war. If they keep in power
leaders who want war they will continue to suffer.

Spend the money given to Palestinians by other countries to upgrade your
country and the lives of your people. Stop spending it to build weapons,
dig tunnels and train jihadists.

And live in peace.

Frankly, Israel and the western world would be grateful.

The Palestinians would have to start by changing their school
curriculum. Teaching your children to hate their neighbors and that
killing Jews is a religious duty is not the way to give them a long and
healthy life.

Funny, teaching your children they are always persecuted by the world
and everyone is against them seems to be a problematic approach to, but
nobody is telling Israel to change it's education.

Now admittedly I'm not an expert, I'm just drawing that knowledge from
comments I've heard from Jewish citizens during interviews.

Very well put, unfortunately there are always hate filled idiots that
will say Palestinians are only behaving this way because big bad Israel
beat them in the wars they started

They obviously don’t know how to break this evil cycle . Why , the
ladies can’t even free their hair, let alone free Palestine from the
river to the sea.

In fact, all this hamas lovers could have long ago created the “Aid to
Palestine” association, reached an agreement with Israel, the UN, and
other traditionally funding structures and countries in Gaza, and then
turned to the local population with an offer of assistance. The UN would
give them a mandate, they would come there and create that very
“Palestinian state” that they so love to theorize about.

For some reason they don't do any of this. But they scream incessantly.

As long as they are stuck with Islam, their suffering stays.

Egypt made peace with Israel. So did Jordan. Israel is about 20% Muslim.
I don’t think it’s a religion thing, but it’s used as a tool for sure.

There are 49 majority Islamic countries that are not suffering the way
Palestinians are, because they are not constantly attacking Israel.
Being Islamic is fine, on its own.

For the Muslims. But for the religious minorities living there, it is an
issue: they all flee way. The proportion of Jews or Christians in such
countries has decreased sometimes from 20% to 5% of even less ..

First of all quit looking at destroying Hamas as a solution. Getting rid
of Hamas will simply leave a void and another, equally horrible
terrorist group, will fill it. Hamas is a terrible symptom but the
disease is radical Islam. Cut off UN aid immediately since it’s only
going to support Hamas. Any type of aid needs two strict guidelines. The
first one is aid needs to be distributed by an outside neutral
organization. Something like we utilize National Guards for natural
disasters here in the US. Secondly, no more free welfare! Seventy years
on global welfare with absolutely nothing to show is telling. Aid should
be tied to work. These people have far far too much time on their hands
for digging tunnels and making babies. Give them something to do. Idle
hands are dangerous. If they have to actually support their own children
rather than having the world do it for them, perhaps they wouldn’t breed
like rabbits. Since birth control isn’t popular but necessary there, it
can be tied to aid. Schools need to be closed until new curriculum that
teaches literacy rather than hate can be utilized. No self government
for a minimum of 40 years to get rid of radicals and give an opportunity
for a generation or two of educated non radicalized citizens who can
perhaps make better decisions than the past generations have done.
