Find out the almost universally ignored reason why in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.
“Michael Oren: Every time Palestinians were offered peace they said ‘no,'” by Rachel Wolf, Jerusalem Post, January 27, 2020:
Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States and former MK and Deputy Minister for Diplomacy Michael Oren spoke to Fox News on Sunday ahead of US President Donald Trump meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz. Both Israeli leaders are expected to speak with the president about his Middle East peace plan, the “Deal of the Century.”
“It’s a new day and this peace plan is aimed at really two customers, if you will. [It’s aimed at] the Israeli public and the moderate Arab Sunni world, specially the Gulf states, and so far, the reactions have been very good,” Oren told Fox News.
He said that the heads of Israel’s “major parties” are “engaged” in the process, referring to Gantz and Netanyahu’s respective meetings with Trump. Oren added, “in the Arab world this president, [the Trump] administration has a tremendous amount of street credit for its strong stance against Iran, pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, very strong credit.”
With Israeli elections just over a month away, some have questioned the timing of Trump’s plan, but Oren insisted that “we can’t lose track and lose sight of the big picture,” which he defined as support in Israel, despite a rising political tensions as the country approaches its third election.
“You have a huge chunk of the Israeli public, even the radical right so far, saying that they’e very supportive of this peace initiative – that is unprecedented,’ Oren said. “Back in the 90s, during the Oslo years, during the Clinton years, this country was divided bitterly over the peace process, now we’re united around this peace process and this is a historic moment.”…

East Jerusalem as the capital of A palestinian state.
These crooks think they can deceive us out of Jerusalem!?? May the city of G-d never be divided, my name will never be associated with surrendering Jerusalem. In G-d I trust.
If you were honest men you would not try to lie to us!

Sorry, but it will not prosper any State that has a hand in the division of Israel or Jerusalem. Plan for an Environmental or Social catastrophe should the USA actually cause the division. It’s in the Bible. Moreover, so-called “Palestinians” do not need another State, they’ve had one (or two) all along; Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, take your pick. The globalists only want a Palestinian state because it adds another anti-US, anti-Israel vote in the UN. It’s like dividing California to get another two Democrats in the Senate.

So far so good with the Deal. Mr Trump must not let “Palestinian” foot-dragging and their likely hysterical reactions derail or defer implementation of the plan. Israel has a future with which it needs to engage even if the “Palestinians” do not.

I think Israel’s future will best be served by refusing to pander to the “Palestinians”.

Actually it’s only the honest “Palestinians” who come right out and adamantly say “No” to genuine peace offer. The many other “Palestinian ” who might say yes to such an offer for peace are engaging in the Islamic practice of lying deception which they term “Taqiyya.”
Therefore a ‘two state solution” is not really a valid idea and not a genuine solution. It will definitely not stop this awful Israeli –Muslim land conflict.
Thus a “two state solution” is out of the question. This is actually just right and fine .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
For example those recent Hamas rocket attacks and even balloon bomb into Israel from Gaza reveals that even the idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .
This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel ,.Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. So those “peace talks” are a hoax. For the “Palestinian”leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .
Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.” This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocked attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel . For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]

They will always say no. They are a house of war…and nothing satisfies them like murder, rape and stealing.
“There is no peace, my God has said, for the wicked one.” moslims will never have peace as they serve satan the devil and their “works are wicked.”

Former Israeli Ambassador to US: Every time “Palestinians” are offered peace, they say “No”
…………………
Michael Oren is spot on.
John Herlihy says
According to the Hamas Charter, August 18, 1988. Article 13- “(Peace) initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to solve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS)….There is no solution to the Palestinian problem EXCEPT BY JIHAD.”
Nothing to do with land or anything else but getting rid of all the Kafir (unbelievers, infidels, all other religions, non-Muslims) for the cause of allah so Islam reigns supreme over the entire planet. Only 3 choices for us Kafir; Conversion, Dhimmi status, or death.

The so-called ‘Palestinians’ have a brilliant strategy: With the right hand they feign diplomacy whilst with the left hand they perpetrate terrorism. All the while their true intention is the destruction of the State of Israel, which it has remained all along as it always will. But for a deeper insight watch: The secret behind secret societies by Walter Veith on YOUTUBE as well as his lecture on “The Islamic Connection”. Hairaising stuff.
