No that was the solution. Prisoner deal and then build a two state solution if they were willing.

But they are not willing. The israelis are Nazis. The only party that is closed to negotiation is israel.

Israel is definitely open to negotiation and has made efforts for peace, by allowing Palestinians to work in Israel. Israel has complete economic and military superiority over Palestine/Hamas, and if they really wanted to, they could literally turn Palestine into a beach. But they won't, because that's not their goal, unlike Hamas, and many Arab countries, would love nothing more than the genocide of the Jews.

How can you say this unironically given the obscene level of destruction Israel has inflicted on Gaza? It’s just completely detached from objective reality.

Israel could do what Hamas would do if they had the capability and that is indiscriminately murder every single person on the other side of the border. Israel never had to enter Gaza in the first place. They could have just bombed down every single building there and flatten the whole territory and snipe every survivor with drones and not lose a single Israeli fighter. They didn't.

They’re well on there way to do just that having leveled about a third of all the buildings in Gaza with no signs of stopping the bombing.

Israel has killed over twenty two thousand Gazans. That’s roughly 1% of the population. The vast majority of the survivors have been displaced from their homes.

Face the reality, this is exactly what indiscriminate murder and genocide looks like. If you choose to believe otherwise you’re just willfully lying to yourself.

I'm simply asking what the preferred alterative would've been but nobody seems to be interested in answering. At no point have I said that what they're currently doing is optimal as it quite clearly isn't.

What negotiation? Remember 2013?

Tell that with a straight face to people in the west bank.
