They painted themselves in the corner from the very beginning, especially Hamas. Let’s not forget that Hamas violently rejects a multi-ethnic, multi-religious Israel so exactly why is it solely Israel’s fault that that door has been closed?

Hamas rejects the very existence of a Jewish state. They will only settle for a Muslim state where everyone is under sharia law. You are criticizing Israel for not adopting positions that their opponents are not even advocating for.
