Your “steps” are a misguided lecture and feeble attempt in condescension, not a roadmap to peace."Step 1 in EVERY possible solution and which you failed to acknowledge is the recognition by Israel that Palestinians are people and that they have as much right to exist as anyone else on Earth." I have clearly stated here multiple times, and Israel has recognised Palestinians as people - many times. It’s Hamas and other groups that deny Israel’s right to exist. That’s the actual roadblock you refuse to acknowledge. Your continual lie in that your "step 1" has not been addressed is simply the action of an idiot that either cannot read, or an attempt at deceitful manipulation of the narrative. "Step 2: You aren't supposed to be fighting six year old girls mutilated and dying inside their destroyed family car full of recently killed family members. [know and understand your 'enemy']." Spare us the emotional theatrics. If Hamas didn’t embed themselves among civilians, store rockets in homes and schools, and deliberately use children as shields, there wouldn’t be six-year-olds caught in the crossfire. Know and understand that enemy. War is hell and with that hell is delivered collateral damage. Furthermore, what would you know about complex urban warfare? Step 3 - Not found on HC"Step 4: Establish crystal clear objectives - NOT lies and deceit. If your objective is to eliminate Hamas, do just that but don't target Palestinian civilians instead. According to the latest estimates Hamas numbers have significantly increased since October 7th 2023 whereas more than 60,000 Palestinians are either dead or unable to be found beneath scorched earth - now to independent observers, that ethnic-cleansing [a war crime / crime against humanity]!" Israel’s objective is to eliminate Hamas and return the hostages (Have you not been listening?), and no credible military could do so without tragically impacting civilians when the enemy hides behind them. The increase in Hamas support you mention? That’s on the population that cheers their return with hostages in tow spitting on them and handing out sweets - not on the ones trying to stop them. Ethnic cleansing? Spare us the sloganeering. The population of Gaza has increased year-on-year since Israel left in 2005. If you’re going to accuse a nation of genocide, at least try to understand the definition. Still waiting for Steps 5-12, but I suspect we’ve already seen enough sanctimony and selective outrage for one day.

@screenbender ; re your post which included "... Israel has recognised Palestinians as people ...". Many decent and fair-minded Israelis do indeed regard and treat Palestinians as people. That's NOT the case with many of the 'leaders' in Netanyahu's Cabinet and it's NOT the case with some IDF personnel. Guess who's making the decisions about who lives and who dies in Gaza!
