Jack, I fear that the entrenched politics of those "representing" Palestinians which dedicated themselves to never, ever accepting Israel as a separate viable state but dedicating themselves to the destruction of Israel in any way possible rather than the construction of a viable political state for Palestinians. So now we have the inevitable stalemate that has existed since the founding of Israel in 1948. The UN clearly needed some other or some additional way to create space for the multitudes of surviving Jews displaced from across Europe and Asia. I have neither the expertise nor experience to imagine HOW that should have been done differently but those original plans clearly have failed to provide a peaceful resolution or two-state solution for the past 3/4 of a century.

At the negotiations one side proclaims death to Israel and the other wants everything from the river to the sea. It is a failed project without a doubt.
