They knew where they were living and who their neighbors were. I don't feel sorry for them.

Hard to argue the point. The US really can't scold Israel, given us dropping two nukes on Japan.

The Israelis are not going to incur heavy casualties fighting in tunnels. They will simply drop a bomb above ground collapsing the tunnels. The problem is that when Muslims see pictures of heavy casualties among Palestinian civilians, they might turn against Israel and the US. Russia and China might even side with the Palestinians.

This is my proposal for peace. Palestinians will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. What's in it for Egypt? Peace on its borders. The Sinai is inhospitable. Egypt does not have the technology to develop it, but Israel does.

Too late, Israel will never give Palestine their land back, they will never have a two state solution now.

They will have to incorporate all left over living Palestinians into Israel as Democratic nation.

Netanyahu f*cked up

They will give up land to Palestine if it means getting at least three times the size of the land being given up by Israel. Israel will now be larger and more powerful.
