You want the land returned--that's all of Israel.
You're putting the Jews under a government that seeks their death.
(Not to mention handing terrorists a bunch of nuclear weapons.)
I want a resolution to the conflict that's fair to everyone. I want a negotiated peace that sidelines the haters and doesn't reward racial prejudice and religious bigotry. So, unless you want to argue that Jews are allergic to fairness and need bigotry to survive, I don't see why it would kill them to treat the Palestinians as nicely as they treat themselves.
What you are missing is that the Palestinians don't want a negotiated peace. This whole crap is about improving their position to continue the war.
I'm going to file this under "Unsupported assertion: sub category: fear mongering" until you provide evidence to support your claim that the Palestinians don't want a negotiated peace.
I think you're forgetting the part about the attackers being terrorists with a long history of killing civilians, regardless of whether the civilians were armed, much less fighting back. I think when you say "They didn't come with the intention of killing anyone" you are stating an article of faith, not a matter of fact. And I think your claim that "If the people there were civilians there was no reason for them to be shooting at all" is utterly absurd. The people of Deir Yassin were being attacked terrorists. They had more reason to shoot than the terrorists themselves did.
If the intent had been a massacre the civilian killings would have happened at the start, not the end.
Terrorists don't always plan to massacre hundreds of civilians when they gather together to commit an act of terrorism. Sometimes it just works out that way.
I have indicated I think the two-state solution is as good as dead, and what ultimately will happen is a one-state solution. I believe Israel will refuse to relinquish control of any part of the West Bank or withdraw it's settlers. It will not allow the Palestinians to retain the land, resources, and authority needed to form a successful state, and a Palestinian State that fails because Israel keeps stealing water and treating Palestinians like shit would just fuel more fighting.
It would be stupid for Israel to relinquish any areas it controls. Doing so has no upside beyond momentarily placating those who have fallen for the Palestinian line.
Unfortunately, the world isn't interested in learning the lessons. Again and again Israel is pressured into stupid concessions, again and again the Palestinians don't follow through on their side of the deal. Again and again fools like Obama think it will work this time.
What concessions has Israel made? Please be specific.
