I am seriously wondering how you think Israel could trust Palestinians and what needs to occur so a religious dictatorship would not be in control of a future Palestinian state? I am actually interested in hearing your views on this, not trying to argue.

Take a minute and think about this from the other side. How can Palestinians trust Israel at this point, either? If Israel is surprised at how this has all played out, they really shouldn't be. They've been provoking for decades, and no, you can't just blow off the settlements. That's a huge issue that continues to this day.

Israel’s hardline coalition government has approved plans for thousands of new housing units in the occupied West Bank and given the far-right finance minister sweeping powers to expedite the construction of illegal settlements, bypassing measures that have been in place for 27 years.

Like, huh, ya let me puzzle out why they can't be trusted. It's a real noodle buster. This was in June of this year.
