For years "at least 25 years" Iran has suggested that a referendom could be the best solution for this conflict.... All Palestinians outside and inside with all people who reside in Palestine participate and ballot for their government, any possible outcome should be respected by all countries .... it's a democratic solution which means no more war .
There is no need for any ballots as it is obvious that 99,9% of all Palestinians inside Palestine or abroad want their own country. The problem is that Israel for obvious reasons is not interested in a real two-state solution which there are thousands of examples of and this is why they have been ignoring the Arab Peace Initiative for over 10 years now despite it being the most comprehensive peace proposal to date.

Keep them ideas coming before solomon shows up
Please keep him out. He would probably end up speaking about the "evil Arabs" yet again or something along those lines. The same old song in other words and accusing me of influencing the Pakistani public (LOL) in a wrong way.
I don't deny that many Palestinians living in Israel are content (big surprise when the alternative could be Gaza) but at the end of the day they also want their own country. I mean why is this even questioned by anyone nowadays? The Jews don't want a one-state solution as this would mean that they would become the minority and they are not interested in giving up their only Jewish country either. This leaves us with a two-state solution. Now that's the easiest part of all this. Defining the borders and all that follows with a two-state solution is the main problem here and no side really wants to move from their initial position.
Wouldn't happen in a million years. The Israelis' will give up on democracy before they give up on being a Jewish State. The reason being, contrary to one poster's comment about the, "Jews repulsed by being with other people", the history has been the opposite of that; anti-Jewsih pogroms, second class status in Christian and Muslim countries, the Holocaust, etc. The State of Israel is their insurance policy that Jews around the world will always have a Jewish state for them to flee to. They are never going to give that up.
Actually I can only speak for the Arab world here but most Arabs and Jews lived peacefully with each other for the vast majority of the time and Jews were actually not second class citizens at all. Unlike in the majority of European history. The Jews preferred to live in the Arab-controlled Al-Andalus for 900 years rather than anywhere else in Europe and when the Catholics regained Iberia they also exiled not only the Muslims but also the Jews and many of those Jews including Muslim Arabs/Berbers/Moriscos sought refugee in the Ottoman Empire and other Muslim controlled countries of the day.
Anyway what you say is correct hence why there is no need to discuss something such as a one-state solution. The Palestinians are as eager to have their own country and rightfully so.
