Folks,
There is a huge problem on the Palestinian side. You have many extremist fractions, political parties, movements, groups and armed militia. Israel keeps the Palestinian Authority (PA) alive and in power, because Israel knows that when the Palestinian Authority (PA) collapse or would be gone that in that case Hamas would take over Power in the West Bank. The best thing regrettably today is for Israel and the West to strengthen the corrupt Palestinian Authority (PA) regime in Ramallah.
If Hamas would have the Power in Gaza and the Westbank that will be definitely the end of Peace in the Middle East and a great danger for both Israel and the Palestinians. Israel will take extreme measures in the case it is threatened by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthi's in Yemen and Iran again. If Israel's existence is in danger, than there would be extreme actions of Israel. South-Lebanon (Hezbollah land) will be scorched earth, flattened, and Israel will target Iranian Nuclear facilities and Iranian military objects. Israel will destroy Houthi miliry bases, rocket and drone sites in Yemen and Israel will try to eliminate all Hamas and Hezbollah leaders wherever they are.
What the West doesn't understand is that you can't live with the present Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and Iran. If you do not put an end to the Nuclear capabilities this will lead to a disaster in the Middle East. I do not know what is wrong with these Islamist Jihadist theocratic extremists, but they look like insane, sinister, obscurantist, irrational, occult, and evil leaders. Centuries of Muslim Islamic indoctrination, infiltration of the mind, theocratic fundamentalist teachings only, made these people a strange breed.
You could compare it with Medieval Roman Catholic christianity in Europe, when there was only one power and one religion, Roman Catholicism, and when there was Roman Catholic fundamentalism, oppression, witch hunts, burning of Protestant christians, mass murder of Jews by organised Pogroms, the inquisition, the annihilation of the Cathars in Southern France, the evil wrong doings of the Crussades when Roman Catholic christians killed masses of Jews and fellow Christians (Orthodox Byzantine Christians), Pagans, Muslims and heretics in Europe.
And I have to say, maybe even worse, because the hatred between Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims lead to large scale massacres, human rights abuses, genocides, civil wars, wars and ethnic cleansing by terrorist insurgency in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Sudan. Islamic State (Daesh), Al Qaida, al-Shabaab, Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM; active in West Africa; including parts of Burkina Faso and Niger), Boko Haram (actvive in northeastern Nigeria, Chad, Niger, northern Cameroon, and Mali) are still active in the world. It seems quiet for now, but they are present in Asia, Africa, Europe, Northern America (USA and Canada), Russia, Turkey and etc.

Folks,
That said above here. I personally resist and speak out against antisemitism in the Netherlands. I wrote letters to political parties that the level of antisemitism in the Netherlands is worrysome, dangerous and unacceptable in a civilized West-European nation. In the same time in personal conversations I spoke about the Massacre of 7 october in Southern Israel and the many deaths in Gaza due to the 2023 Israel–Hamas war (which continues until today). The suffering of both Palestinians and Israeli's today is incredible. Many people deliberately or undeliberately forgot about the Hamas massacre of 7 October 2023. That massacre was a fact and the trauma of many Israeli's is a fact. Also a fact is that many Palestinian families were wiped out, that like Israeli families on 7 october 2023, many Palestinian children, fathers and mothers and elderly died. Hamas and it's allies knew exactly what they were doing on 7 October 2023. Hamas provoked an enormous military response by Israel and therefor, Hamas, together with the Israeli Army and Egypt (which sealed off the Egyptian border so that Zero Palestinian refugees could escape to Egypt) are responsible for the present human catastrophe in Gaza, in the West Bank and in Israel. Many people in the world, maybe most people in the world do not know that Muslims, Bedouins and Israeli Arabs died on 7 october 2024, Muslim children, men and women which were killed by the Sunni Muslim Islamist Jihadist fanatical Hamas. The world media are silent about that fact.
That said, there a problematic, bad and opportunistic leaders on both sides with personal, family, or clan/tribal or particular specific (minority) political interests. There are Fundamentalist, Ultra Nationalist and theocratic leaders on both sides. I have to say this regrettably folks, because this is the truth.
The only solution in this conflict is that reasonable Israeli and Palestinian leaders replace the present leaders; Benjamin Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich, Michael Malchieli, Yitzhak Wasserlauf, the Ultra Orthodox (United Torah Judaism party) Minister of Housing and Construction, the Ultra Orthodox Shas party minister of Education of Israel Haim Biton (this gives little hope for education about Israeli Arabs, Druze and other non-Jewish minorities inside Israel), the extreme right Ultra-Nationalist Israeli minister of 'Heritage' Amihai Eliyahu (in an interview with Radio Kol Berama during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Eliyahu claimed that the use of nuclear weapons was "one way" when discussing Israel's options in its ongoing military action in the Gaza Strip, adding "The second way is to discover what is important to them, what scares them, what deters them... They are not afraid of death." He also endorsed the displacement of Gaza's Palestinian population, stating "They can go to Ireland or deserts, the monsters in Gaza should find a solution by themselves."), the far right Religious Zionist Minister of Settlements and National Missions Orit Strook (she is a member and minister of Bezalel Smotrich's Mafdal–Religious Zionism political party), and on the Palestinian side Yahya Sinwar (Hamas), Khaled Mashal (Hamas), Ismail Haniyeh (Hamas), Mohammed Deif (Hamas), Mahmoud Zahar (Hamas), Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook (Hamas), Abd Al Aziz Awda (Islamic Jihad), Abu Hamza (Islamic Jihad), Ziyad al-Nakhalah (Islamic Jihad), Ahmad Sa'adat (PFLP), Jamil Mezher (PFLP), Nayef Hawatmeh (DFLP), Taysir Khalid (DFLP), Jamal Abu Samhadana (Popular Resistance Committees, PRC) and Mahmoud Abbas (Fatah, PLO and Palestinian National Authority [PNA]).Itamar Ben-GvirBezalel SmotrichMinister Yitzhak Wasserlauf of the extreme right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called for Israel to resettle Gaza after the war in an interview with Radio North on Monday morning. Yitzhak Shimon Wasserlauf (Hebrew: יצחק שמעון וסרלאוף; born 14 August 1992) is an Israeli politician who serves as the Minister for the Development of the Periphery, the Negev and the Galilee and as a member of Knesset for Otzma Yehudit following the 2022 Israeli legislative election. Yitzhak Wasserlauf, an extreme right Israeli government minister whom want to expel the Palestinians from Gaza and settle Gaza with Jewish settlers.The Ultra Orthodox Haim Biton is an Israeli politician. He is currently a member of the Knesset for Shas. Biton also serves as a minister in the Ministry of Education.

Eliyahu also briefly served as a member of the Knesset for Otzma Yehudit following the 2022 Israeli legislative election. In 2023, Eliyahu received international attention for his suggestion that nuclear weapons be used in the Gaza Strip in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. He is a resident of the West Bank settlement of Rimonim.Orit Malka Strook (Hebrew: אוֹרִית מַלְכָּה סְטְרוֹק, born 15 March 1960) is a far-right Israeli politician. She serves as the Minister of Settlements and National Missions in the thirty-seventh government, and is a member of the Knesset for the National Religious Party–Religious Zionism, and served as member of the Knesset for Tkuma (a faction within the Jewish Home) between 2013 and 2015. Strook is also among the leaders of the Jewish settlement in Hebron, and she established the Israeli non-governmental organization Human Rights Organization of Judea and Samaria, which she headed between 2004 and 2012.Michael Malchieli (Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל מַלְכִּיאֵלִי, born 7 October 1982) is an Israeli politician who currently serves as the Minister of Religious Affairs in the thirty-seventh government, and is a member of the Knesset for the Sephardi ultra-Orthodox Shas party. Malchieli also served as the acting Minister of Interior between January and April of 2023. This is bad news for progressive, Reconstructivist/Reform Judaism, conservative Masorti and secular Jews in Israel and also not good for the Israeli Arab Muslims, Arab Christians, Israeli Druze and others. Malchieli will do everything to strengthen the Ultra Orthodoxy and Orthodox Judaism in Israel at the expense of others.

Folks,
I really believe their is great political talent, financial-, and economical talent, top diplomats, economists and experienced economists, business people, former Financial and economical ministers, peace negotiators and people of good will on both sides. Unfortunately they form a minority, but this moderate, pragmatic and skilled minority is there and is able to lead a new peace process and the reconstruction of Gaza. It is a sad thing that good people like the Palestinian politician and diplomat Saeb Erekat (1955 – 2020) and Yitzhak Rabin (1922 – 1995) are no longer with us, because such people were able to make the 'Peace of the Brave', think rationally, tactically and strategically and think in longer terms for both their peoples. Another good and useful person is the social liberal politician and former Oslo negotiator Yossi Beilin, a former Labour Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs under Shimon Peres and Minister of Economy and Planning during prime minister Yitzhak Rabin's cut short administration (13 July 1992 – 4 November 1995).
Saeb Muhammad Salih Erekat (Arabic: صائب محمد صالح عريقات Ṣāʼib ʻUrayqāt; also ʻRēqāt, Erikat, Erakat, Arekat; 28 April 1955 – 10 November 2020) was a Palestinian politician and diplomat who was the secretary general of the executive committee of the PLO from 2015 until his death in 2020. He served as chief of the PLO Steering and Monitoring Committee until 12 February 2011. He participated in early negotiations with Israel and remained chief negotiator from 1995 until May 2003, when he resigned in protest from the Palestinian government. He reconciled with the party and was reappointed to the post in September 2003.
In an op-ed published in New York Times in May 2015, Yossi Beilin called for the establishment of a joint Israeli-Palestinian confederation, without any "artificial partition". Israel and Palestine would be two independent states as part of this confederation, each with its own parliament and government, but will also have joint institutions that will deal with common issues such as water, infrastructure, environment, government and emergency services.

I hope that there are reasonable, diplomatic and moderate Palestinians of the line of Saeb Erekat today and Israeli's like Yossi Beilin on the Israeli side, and Palestinian and Israeli leaders like Yasser Arafat (1929–2004) and Yitzhak Rabin (1922 – 1995), whom can make a 'Peace of the Brave', reconstruct Gaza and end the settlement policies in the Westbank and work on a serious solution for both peoples. Both peoples will stay where they are and both peoples in the end want to live in Peace, prosperity and an environment of progress and wealth.
