Netanyahu has long told Israelis that they can eat their cake and have it too

The IDF, tall walls, and Iron Dome would allow Israel to control the Palestinians, so that West Bank settlers could continue to take more land, Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem could be taken over, and Gaza could be blockaded. Bibi said that Israelis could ignore the Palestinians, because the Palestinians couldn't do anything to change that status quo. He promised "calm".

Israelis will have to decide whether they want a just peace that can only come from two states. So far they have voted for Netanyahu who has worked to prevent a Palestinian state. Netanyahu says Palestinians all only want to destroy Israel. I believe the vast majority of Palestinians want better lives for their children and grandchildren. That will come from self-determination and a Palestinian state.
