2 peoples who see themselves as ethnically, culturally and religiously distinct believe they have an ancient prior right to the land area that is defined is today known as Israel, the West Bank and Gaza strip. Disagreement, and violence ensues.
Frankly I don't see anything much changing while they see each other as different, and hence a threat to each other. The only enduring solution is a one state solution with both peoples coexisting within the same country with mutual recognition of a right to live there. The settlements have made the 2 state solution a stillborn idea.
