Amnesty International's 2022/23 report regarding Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories begins with the following statements:

"Israel’s continuing oppressive and discriminatory system of governing Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) constituted a system of apartheid, and Israeli officials committed the crime of apartheid under international law. Israeli forces launched a three-day offensive on the occupied Gaza Strip in August during which they committed apparent war crimes. This compounded the impact of a 15-year ongoing Israeli blockade that amounts to illegal collective punishment and further fragments Palestinian territory." amnesty.org/en/location…

The report goes on to detail its findings regarding, among other issues, unlawful attacks and killings of Palestinians, Israeli authorities refusal to adequately investigate crimes under international law, restrictions on freedom of movement, forced evictions, arbitrary detentions, torture and other ill treatment, and the forced closure of Palestinian civil society organizations.

If you or I were were expelled from our homes and forced to live under such conditions in, for example in the densely populated 5x25 mile fenced Gaza strip, with no hope for anything better, I suggest hate -- and rage -- would be reasonable to expect.

I accept that there was a time when the Israeli government was willing to consider a two-state solution, but it's clear that period ended when Yitzak Rabin was assassinated by a Zionist militant in 1995. Since then, the continual expansion of settlements, and Netanyahu's own behaviour and statements, demonstrate the Israeli government's intractable opposition to the creation of a Palestinian state and intention to acquire all the Palestinian land it can.

For these reasons, at least, I do not share your confident views of the Israeli government's charitable treatment of, and intentions toward, the Palestinians.
