You could as easily say israel would stop bombing palestine if hamas stopped doing terrorist attacks but then were just going back 100 years of back and forth tbh.

Point is that if israel did what you said today, the violence towards them would not stop. And just picking one side and unilaterally ignoring everything bad the other side has done is literally just feeding into this shit

Actually I can’t. I don’t remember Israel blaming hamas when Israel let Israeli settlers kick Palestinians out of their homes.

Yes, the current government tacitly tolerates illegal settlements. It's terrible. Prior governments saw them for what they were, an obstacle to peace, and understood they had to be stopped. There's a difference between Likud and the far-right batshits that have been able to barely cling to power, and the entire country of Israel.
