if not for israel taking those lands there wouldnt even be a chance at a state of palestine. it would still be jordan and egypt. its a small minority in israel that think the entire land should be israel. its a small minority in the territories that dont want the entire land to be palestine. abbas plays lip service to the idea sometimes and then says things that clearly demonstrate he doesnt it. the right of return wont happen and the jews will never give back the western wall in east jerusalem, so those demands cannot be on the table of they want any deal with israel. abbas made recent comments backing off the right of return but they still demand east jerusalem. how can things even get off the ground with an impossible demand?

I think if Israel was properly willing to negotiate (which Netanyahu is very much not) with Fatah then I believe the situation could be resolved. Simply however Israel will have to compromise on Jerusalem - the East of Jerusalem is Palestinian and what Israel is trying to do is annex it. This should be condemned.
In any negotiation Israel will have to compromise as well as Palestine, they need to meet in the middle. Your comments seem to indicate that you think Palestine should accept all of Israels demands, this is not reasonable.
