While it seems there is no doubt that Netanyahu long ago pre-emptively abandoned a two state solution, and as such has only made matters worse, I still think the points the irritating Bill Maher makes in this video are correct: the Lefty "anti-colonial" quakery that ignores everything about history other than "but Palestinians were forced off their land" and pretends that a victory over Israel is a possibility, no matter how many times it has been tried and lost, is basically ridiculous and positively harmful to any resolution. The decades of intense anti-Semitic brainwashing that has taken place within Gaza, such that young men can take joy in the killing of the innocent children, is routinely glossed over:
As someone in comments says after the video:
The problem is, at first, other big Arab nations like Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia gave hope to the Palestinians that they will support them in their fight to oust the Israelis from their land. When they realised that it wasn’t going to be possible, they withdrew their support. Now Iran has stepped in and has filled that vacant space, fighting the western order and especially the US, by proxy. If Iran also pulls its support, will the Palestinians finally realise their predicament? 11
