A question
As you know, we view the ridiculous Israel-Palestine talks going on in Washington as a piece of political theater being served up by the administration as part of trying to control the media narrative as the elections approach.
No talks can succeed until Hamas and a strong majority of Palestinians are willing to accept a two-state solution, and that has never been the case. Moreover, everyone with a brain knows that Hamas would use the occasion of the talks to kill Jews, which of course has already happened.
Question: was it an immoral (as well as cynical) decision on the part of the administration to hold these high profile, media-event talks, knowing that they would result in multiple slayings of innocent people?

I’m not certain of, and you’ve offered no evidence for the assertion that “everyone with a brain knows that Hamas would use the occasion of the talks to kill Jews.”
Hamas will attempt to kill Jews, regardless of season or reason. The talks have failed, and will continue to fail until the alternative becomes too expensive. Why do we even acknowledge these sham talks? The Palestinians don’t want peace. Their fate is no concern of ours.
