Israel’s defense minister announced that the Hamas militant group has started a war against Israel and pledged that "Israel will win.”

Following a security cabinet meeting at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Hamas “made a grave mistake” in launching barrages of rockets into southern and central Israel in its surprise morning attack.

In one of the most serious escalations in years between Israel and the militant group that rules Gaza, Hamas gunmen crossed the border fence at several places and infiltrated Israeli communities.

      When they stop hurting themselves in their confusion and sabotaging the peace process, then maybe a peace will come. Right now, as it stands, they couldn’t care less for their own self determination, success, livelihood, existence etc. Nothing they do now will accomplish anything.

        Tell me you’ve never spoken to a Palestinian without telling me you’ve never spoken to a Palestinian

          I’ve spoken to plenty and frequent a felafel shop run by Palestinians. They got out of there because of the bullshit.

        I am pretty sure to achieve peace both sides would have to stop sabotaging the peace process.

          What exactly have the Palestinians brought to the peace process? What have they ever agreed to?

            What are they obligated to agree to? If I kick in the door to your house, what right do I have to discuss which half belongs to me?

            Israel should have to surrender all of their illegally-occupied land and at the very least retreat to their 1946 borders.

            Both sides have brought different things and both sides did obviously not bring enough. I will not join you in oversimplifying a hyper complex conflict and in taking sides. If you want details of what each side has done in the peace process you can read about it here: Israeli–Palestinian peace process
