    In its latest report, the independent commission called for Israel to cease committing violations and crimes against and affecting Palestinian children and for the end of Israel’s continuing presence in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem,

    So they’re demanding that Israel surrender?

    The biggest thing blocking peace is making non-serious demands. Israel lost the propaganda war, but won the ground war. Continuing to be in this alternate reality where you believe Israel has lost because the internet is telling you so is not going to lead to any kind of peace agreement.

    The UN being non-serious about this means there will just be a continuation of a war in which 98% of the casualties are Palestinian. But it’s starting to feel like everyone in the anti-Israel hate group wants this war to go on forever despite the fact it’s mostly Palestinians dying. It’s sickening that Palestinians lives are being as canon fodder in a war they obviously aren’t ever going to win for the sake of producing more content for internet hate groups.

    Obviously there needs to be a serious peace plan, but that’s not going to come from the UN if they’re committed to being non-serious about this. And it’s definitely not going to come from the US because it’s a non-serious (but dangerous) country now. Maybe the EU could step up, but they have other problems.

    So Palestinians are stuck between Iran which is using them as canon fodder against Israel which obviously has way more military capability. Then there’s a whole bunch of idiots (including in the UN) just throwing out some “hot takes” that accomplish nothing.
