CNN reporting on some interesting survey results from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah. Seven hundred and fifty adults were interviewed face to face in the West Bank, and 481 were interviewed in Gaza, also in person. The Gaza data collection was done during the recent truce, when it was safer for researchers to move about.
How long do you think they should try diplomacy for before they realize that it’s not working?
How long do you think they have tried it?
30 years or so.
The person I’m replying to seems to be missing a lot of historical context, which is why I’m asking the question and why I’m not going to answer yours without a bit of quid pro quo.
No, I don’t.
I’m trying to interpret this as a response to my post, but it doesn’t make sense. I don’t want to assume incorrectly or misinterpret your response so I need you to clarify what you mean.
Hey, I’m sorry. I think the thread loaded buggy for me. I thought your reply was directly to me about my comment
What? My comment is that the above doesn’t make logical sense. What are you talking about?
The cowardly and terrorist attack on civilians Hamas committed on Oct 7th was short sighted and doesn’t make logical sense. Fighting back against a superior force when all other options have been exhausted does make sense. There are a few historical examples of a small force overcoming a superior force, it could happen. Not likely, but again, when there aren’t other options, trying the same thing that didn’t work over and over again for 50 years isn’t very logical either.
