It seems doubtful Arabs want Palestinian state
It has been evident by the Israeli acceptance of a two-state solution in 1929, in 1937, in 1947 and at Camp David (2000) that there must be something in the Arab agenda to stop the peace process and that, in my opinion, has always been the desired elimination of Israel.
There has never been a Palestinian state because Arab countries have never allowed one to be created. They have chosen to spend their money on other things.
There have been Arab leaders who have worked with Israel and have achieved peace, and maybe that is the best we can hope for.
Being part Lebanese, I have empathy for Arabs and their struggles and believe peace is good for everyone.
I don't think if Mexico were firing rockets into the U.S. as Arabs have into Israel from Gaza, we would react with the restraint Israel has demonstrated.
I have not seen a good return on Israel's investment (land for peace), and I am personally against it. All countries make mistakes, including Israel, but this is their call.
This conflict has been known about for years and years. So let's pray that the Arab agenda has changed.
