So what you're saying is exactly what most Israelis believe. That the palestinians don't want a peace deal. They just want to wait until a day they think they can defeat Israel and take everything.
So in which case I expect you not to come on here crying and whining about the 'poor palestinians' if this is the path they have chosen. Many of them will die, because that's what happens when you try to destroy a more powerful enemy instead of taking the best deal you'll ever get.
The fantasy victory the palestinians have been dreaming of for 70 years isn't happening in our lifetime, so you better buckle up for more dead palestinians, more suicides from depression in Gaza and more stagnation from the Arab world as the palestinians act as an albatross around their necks.
You know well how you can get peace. You have to give up occupied land.
You could've gotten a lot better deal and likely would've been able to keep a lot more land than 1967 borders back when the US had no challenger and everyone thought this whole thing would go on forever. You just had to agree to giving up some of the settlements and occupied land in exchange for lasting peace.
Israel has been unwilling to stop building more settlements even, let alone give up occupied land, for peace. Yet you blame the Palestinians for not accepting the loss of all their land for a measly airport and a seaport with sone dollars?
Peace would've come had Israel realised that times can change and it is best to make a deal when you are at the top without any challenge. You waited too long and now everyone can see that the United States is in decline and with it is the power of the Israelis.
With the US becoming increasingly isolationist and losing its unchallenged status, it may be that Israel finds itself having to pay for thus conflict.
The Arab governments had also started to accept Israel because of the US. Once things start to change, they will find it easier to listen to the 'common peoples voice'.
I think the Israelis know this well. You lose in terms of demographics with the Palestinians. The difference in economy/numbers/resources/size of the Arabs/Muslims compared to Israel is very clear. It's just a matter of time. Sooner than later.
You've crossed the peak of your power with regards to your neighbors. It's all downhill from here.
Remember one thing though. Unlike most of the atrocities of the past, Israeli oppression of the Palestinians has been thoroughly documented in film and text. I wonder what all of this will look like once things change sufficiently in the direction they seem to be moving.
How exactly is the current situation any good for Palestinians anyways, every time Hamas fires a rockets Israel goes and bombs them into oblivion until the next time.
Refusing the deal was stupid as hell, Israel can keep up the status quo as long as it wants it has the total upper hand while Palestinians will keep getting poorer, it could have been a win win deal but no lest keep fighting talk about bad leadership...
The current situation is certainly not good for the Palestinians. However, the current trajectory is much better than it was a decade or two back.
