    There isn’t many times when either side wants the war. They usually want something else and the war is the result of one side doing something and the other stopping them.

    Everyone wants peace, every war is fought for peace. It’s just the type of peace that causes war.

    Israel doesn’t want war, they want all of the people in Gaza gone. Gaza doesn’t want war, they want Israelis gone. Both have a preference for peace, just not a peace both sides will agree to.

    Of course some defense companies and those that seek violence want war. But nations and most people don’t. Wars never great.

      I expect most Palestinians (i.e. not Hamas) would be happy with a one-state solution with equal rights for all regardless of religion or background. Even after all the history and injustice.

        When I said Gaza wants Israeli gone, it was probably an over simplification. They would probably be happy without the Israeli boot on their neck. If that’s a one state or two state solution. Being recognised as citizens with rights is probably the desire of most Palestinians.
