It is, especially when it sounds like they accepted something that doesn't meet the other sides expectations- its effectively a list of demands.

Personally I wish Hamas would give a shit about its citizens and disband, give Israel no reason to pursue them anymore and get some damn help in there.... followed closely by Israeli government being seriously investigated for evey action above and beyond proportional response, and every civilian death assesses for alternative options. And someone shoot their president please.

That's not how that's ever worked in colonial states. If resistance disappears then stuff just goes into overdrive.

Its also the first since India(???), and it usually wouldn't work because the colonial states succeeded.

Right now Palestine us getting wiped for the sake of Hamas and some Israeli ego.

The first what since India?

Right now there are a number of societies enduring harsh colonization and occupation.

I wish Israel would give a shit about Palestinians and disband. It's an illegitimate apartheid government, which on its founding year kick-started with a massive ethnic cleansing. If Israel disbands, there's no need for a resistance group.

We can all sit here and ask for unrealistic things, but that won't really do much. Protest to get companies/governments to divest from the genocidal state of Israel, and hope for the best.

This isn't, and never has been, how that works. The closest parallel is the troubles, but there are many more conflicts that prove that violent resistance is necessary to beat colonialism.
