Here's a map of Arab/Muslim nations, most of which could carve out a Palestinian homeland larger than Israel without missing it. Or could have integrated two generations of Palestinian refugees into their own people instead of locking them into "refugee camps." For 30 years, Jordan could have given the Palestinians the West Bank with a stroke of a pen.

Of course, you have to start out by discarding the myth that this is all about a Palestinian state, not the obliteration of Israel.

This conflict will end the second the Palestinian leadership stops working toward Israel's destruction. When the violence and weapons smuggling ends, so would the embargoes. When the terrorists stop, the walls will come down.

All the Palestinians have to do is work on creating a decent prosperous society instead of a psychotic armed terror camp.

It's not about space, or natural resources. Gaza alone is four times the size of Hong Kong.
