If the elements of Hamas, namely the promising of death to all Israelites from Palestinians disappeared, then relations would improve and yes the garbage would stop. But it would still be a process that takes time to build trust between the people.
I love your optimism.
But that's like "America elected a black president, so now there's no more racism".
You're not wrong-wrong, but it will take a lot more than just time. Systemic changes need to happen too.
I don't agree with your analogy.
What I said was more along the line of, "America electing a black president is a major step to eliminating racism, and it wouldn't happen overnight." I'd point out that I'm just fixing your analogy, not that I am making that statement.
Part of the systematic change requires one side to not want the complete elimination of the other.
Remind me how did the the reservations in the US go for people like the Osage even after they signed treaties? Oklahoma is still Indian country, right?
You'd have to be braindead to believe that. This is a 70 year ongoing conflict.
