The problem I have with the Israeli government is that they continue to provoke Hamas.

Bulldozing the houses of families of terrorists (punishment of the family is these days only heard of in North Korean prison camps)? Illegal settlements?

If the Israeli government wanted peace, they could immediately stop these measures and gain a lot of political credit in peace negotiations without losing anything (except votes from the illegal settlers of course). But the way things are running now, it becomes harder every day to defend Israel.

And that, honestly, is unacceptable.

Provoke Hamas? Really? An organization that killed hundreds in suicide bombings? That dig tunnels into kindergartens? Says to wipe Israel off the map in the charter... That terrorist group is evil as they come. By your logic we shouldn't provoke Isis either.. by merely existing...

Peace needs two sides, the Palestinians don't want peace, if they did there would have been one decades ago... Just look at what the previous prime ministers before the current one offered them, but it's too lucrative to just maintain a stats of war (All their leaders are basically millionaires who steal aid money).

You do realize that they did freeze building of settlements for 7 months as a show of good faith and told the Palestinians to come back to the negation table and they refused?
