  1. The Israeli government has rejected all efforts to [have] high level talks -- this part of the problem isn't a failure by both sides, only by the Israelis. April 8th, 2022 "Israel rejects US proposal for meeting with Palestinian national security advisers" "US plan was to allow Bennett to claim the meeting was not a diplomatic one, meaning he wouldn't have to renege on his promise not to hold negotiations, Haaretz reports."

  2.  @mando0128  - You have it exactly backwards. "On three separate occasions this week, Israeli government representatives said that the diplomatic process with the Palestinian Authority will not be pursued, and that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett does not plan to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas."

  3.  @mando0128  - I was correcting your claim they the Israelis tried when the official position is no negotiating. That's the extent of my point.

  4.  @hamidhamidi3134  - Erasure is often the beginning of genocide. Golda Meir was engaged in the ethnic cleansing and systematic dispossession of the Palestinian people, but even she admitted Palestine existed. The same lies Golda Meir told are mirrored by Putin today, and for the same reason; to dehumanize. 1970: "When were Palestinians born? What was all of this area before the First World War when Britain got the mandate over Palestine? What was Palestine, then? Palestine was then the area between the Mediterranean and the Iraqian border. East and West Bank was Palestine. I am a Palestinian, from 1921 and 1948, I carried a Palestinian passport. There was no such thing in this area as Jews, and Arabs, and Palestinians, There were Jews and Arabs. [...] I don't say there are no Palestinians, but I say there is no such thing as a distinct Palestinian people." - Golda Meir 2020: Putin claims that Ukraine didn’t exist as a separate state and had never been a nation. Instead, he argues, Ukrainian nationality was always an integral part of a triune nationality: Russian, Belorussian, and Ukrainian. Putin also writes that Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians share a common heritage—the heritage of a realm known as Kievan Rus (862–1242), which was a loose medieval political federation located in modern-day Belarus, Ukraine, and part of Russia.

  5. An end to the apartheid regime by the Israeli government is what it will take. Palestine is an independent country and should be recognized as such by the world and the U.N.
