Yeah and I bet if you asked the Irish at least 77% would say Londonderry should be a part of the Republic of Ireland. That doesn't mean 77% of Irishmen oppose the Good Friday Agreement.

People can want things while also being willing to make painful concessions if there is a compelling reason to accept them. And not having your legs blown off is a compelling reason.

You're making the mistake of believing there are rational actors on both sides when one group is led by genocidal terrorists and both groups have a deep, contradictory, religious attachment at stake.

Germany was lead by genocidal terrorists once. What of it? We're discussing a future peace solution here, one in which Hamas has presumably been destroyed.

The issue is not one of a lack of rationality, the issue is that there is a security dilemma present in the Israel Palestinian conflict that was not present in Ireland, because RoI & UK were part of the US Security umbrella.

Israeli & Palestinian leaders are not irrational, they just have goals that you disagree with.
