What would be your preferred and effective strategy against someone who wants you dead and comes into your home and kills your children? Expect and accept apology?
The priority is creating conditions such that Palestinian teenagers don’t constantly see Israel abusing their families, unjustly imprisoning them, stealing their land and murdering them by the thousands, or else you’ll have Palestinians asking themselves: “What would be your preferred and effective strategy against someone who wants you dead and comes into your home and kills your children?

Eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, at some point people have to make up and let the past be the past. Currently Israel is going way beyond eye for an eye.

If that’s too much, how about not bombing areas you previously told people to flee to. This is like the bare minimum to be able to claim you care a fucking iota about humanity.
You are only looking at the consequence of oppressing people until they are out of hope and the only path that remains to them seems to be one of violence.
More violence and more oppression will only cement this and pave the road for the next generation of hopeless militants.
The solution would be to break this cycle but that would require concessions from the hardline Zionists.
You too would feel hate and resentment for those who took your father’s land, bombed regularly, put you under a harsh embargo, no jobs prospects, no hope, and, no future.
