Honestly, there will most likely never be Palestinian state.
Quote:
Israel told the Palestinians it’s willing to withdraw from only 40 percent of the West Bank, a Palestinian official close to the peace talks said, indicating how far U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is from delivering an accord.
Mohammad Shtayyeh, who negotiated on behalf of the Palestinians until November, says the offer made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s team was less than half the area previous Israeli governments have been ready to concede for a Palestinian state.
Honestly, I'd prefer for the facts in regards to this to come out before we make solid conclusions. For instance, very recently we had this report which stated that Netanyahu was in fact willing to give up around 90% of the West Bank in order to create a Palestinian state there:

Based on past performance (which is the best future indicator) both sides are unlikely to find middle ground. The Palestinians need to take their case to the UN and the US just needs to stay out of it...
i think israel should keep 100% of the land, if palestinians want it, let them take it. the only way this will end is one of them drive the other into the sea

Stick it on the UN's lap. We already know that they just sit in their cushy NYC offices and create useless resolutions that no one is going to enforce. No matter how much anti-Israel paperwork they create, the UN body does the opposite. Peace Keeper troops in Syria, removed from the Golan and moved to Lebanon/Syria border. Peace Keeper troops in southern Lebanon moved to eastern Lebanon, so basically gone. UNESCO has cut funding to the territories, so basically they're leaving. UNRWA has cut funding to the territories, so basically their leaving too.

If palestinians want it, let them take it. These are the key words. If they want it, then they should not be allowed to sit back and watch while other countries do their fighting for them.
Any time Israel has offered it, the Palestinians have rejected it. They don't want it if Israel is allowed to exist as well.
And that's why I call those idiots brain dead.
