What I was trying to present is that Israel already tried to do all those things that you talk about over last 30 years and it didn't work.

Extremist groups in Israel came to life after second intifada and started as revenge groups, that performed same type of attacks that Palestinians performed on Israeli. You can say that they were radicalized by Palestinian violence (I think in your original post you were worried about results of radicalization as result of violence, didn't you ? Somehow people forget that it can go both ways). They also don't hold a candle to hamas/pij/pflp/etc and their actions way overreported and misreported [0] while other stuff is underreported [1]

Blockade of gaza mostly started in 2007 after palestinian elections of 2006 in which hamas won both in west bank and gaza (usa pushed to have election), failed coup (sponsored by usa) of PLO against hamas that resulted in hamas (internationally recognized terrorist organization). takeover of gaza in 2007. I want to remind that Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005 and what followed are hundreds of rockets on Israel [2]

Extremist groups in Israel existed since 1940s (before its establishment) or even before …

And the actions of Israel in the past 30 years, and affirmations from its leaders don’t seem to be moving toward the OSLO accords, otherwise why building all those settlements in the west-bank? It just doesn’t make sense.

anyway who cares about the past I am more interested in the future:

1) In your opinion how all this crisis could be solved?

2) If you had the misfortune of being born in Gaza, and obviously you cannot leave it, what would you do?

when todays extremist groups in Israel are discussed, I don't think poster refers to either irgun or lehi.

in past 30 years there were multiple attempts on behalf of Israel for agreements that were rejected by palestinians. and could you please count how many settlements were build by state since 2000 for example ?

1) hostages returned. hamas/pij/pflp disarm. gaza taken over by international force for purpose of stabilization and reconstruction. school curriculum is changed - both in gaza and west bank. deep reforms in PA (Emirati foreign minister then called the Palestinian leadership "Ali Baba and the forty thieves" and claimed senior officials in the Palestinian Authority are "useless" and therefore "replacing them with one another will only lead to the same result.").

2) 100k palestinians left gaza since oct 7th 2023. Israel said that it will help to leave gaza whoever wants to leave. But more to a point of your question - I'll hide/avoid area of hostilities.
