That's how the signed letter ends. It makes total sense to me.

We know there is no military solution to this crisis. We know that Israelis and Palestinians are here to stay — neither Jewish safety nor Palestinian liberation can be achieved if they are pitted against one another. We know that freedom for one people cannot be reached through the oppression and killing of another. We know that Israeli and Palestinian safety is deeply intertwined and that no one wins a forever war. The only way to lasting peace and security is through diplomatic means that move us towards an equal and just future for all.

We urge President Biden and Congress to work for a ceasefire, the release of the hostages, and a diplomatic solution that guarantees equality, justice, and a thriving future for all.

Sure, but this is delusional. Palestinians didn't have equality, justice, and a thriving future before Hamas' attacks on October 7th and there's no way in hell Israel is going to allow any path to that in response to October 7th. The suggested path is:

Step 1: Hamas launches thousands of missiles and a brutal invasion where they slaughter over a thousand Israelis; filming, reveling in, and justifying the attacks
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Equality, justice, and a thriving future for Palestinians

There's nothing that can happen at step 2 to make that an acceptable process for Israel; they are not going allow the message to be sent that the way to get exactly what you want from Israel is to first slaughter hundreds of Israeli citizens.

It's a nice outcome to wish for, but it's not going to happen as a result of terrorism.
