It's doubtful that people are conscious of what "works on them", so the question is unlikely to be answered accurately.


what works in aggregate is available here, just listen to what products people talk about


Stop occupying and brutalizing them, and agree to two states along the 1967 borders, as called for by both international law and every other country in the world.


They did, in Gaza, in 2005. Only to wake up to a Hamas takeover and rocket shooting on Israel civilians (war crime), which brought the Gaza siege.

Or maybe the world can give some new suggestion that was not disproven by history?


Please check your facts. Nobody woke up to a Hamas takeover. Quite the opposite: there was a takeover attempt by a Fatah faction (a coup) armed by the US. The coup backfired, there was a civil war, Hamas won and it came to control Gaza.

You can find this on wikipedia, so it's not like it's some conspiracy theory brewing in the dark corners of the internets. Even Vanity Fair has written about it:

In April 2008 Vanity Fair published "The Gaza Bombshell":

There is no one more hated among Hamas members than Muhammad Dahlan, long Fatah's resident strongman in Gaza. Dahlan, who most recently served as Abbas's national-security adviser, has spent more than a decade battling Hamas. ... Bush has met Dahlan on at least three occasions. After talks at the White House in July 2003, Bush publicly praised Dahlan as "a good, solid leader." In private, say multiple Israeli and American officials, the U.S. president described him as "our guy."

Vanity Fair has obtained confidential documents, since corroborated by sources in the U.S. and Palestine, which lay bare a covert initiative, approved by Bush and implemented by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams, to provoke a Palestinian civil war. The plan was for forces led by Dahlan, and armed with new weapons supplied at America's behest, to give Fatah the muscle it needed to remove the democratically elected Hamas-led government from power. (The State Department declined to comment.)

Some sources call the scheme "Iran-contra 2.0," recalling that Abrams was convicted (and later pardoned) for withholding information from Congress during the original Iran-contra scandal under President Reagan. There are echoes of other past misadventures as well: the C.I.A.'s 1953 ouster of an elected prime minister in Iran, which set the stage for the 1979 Islamic revolution there; the aborted 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, which gave Fidel Castro an excuse to solidify his hold on Cuba; and the contemporary tragedy in Iraq.[66]

In 2005? Nope. So the point still stand. And in later 2020+, Armed? Nope. only allowing Qatar money to pass was choosing between 2 evils which doesn't mean you support them. I mean, what is the option you try to refer to which would not lead to this point with a Dictatorship Terroristic Religious government of Gaza, which only backed by Iran?


That came up in the case of psychologist Robert Moore. It was reported that he shot his wife and then himself, but gunpowder residue was found on her hands, not his.
