How is that any different to now.
If, in that theoretical scenario, Israel retaliated against that legitimate Palestinian state and flattened it, would you, Ian and JFman still condemn Israel for defending itself?
Giving Palestinians a state, would not give Israelis peace…..from the river to the sea negates the existence of Israel. Giving Palestinians a state wouldn’t change anything.

Most countries don't elect extremist political parties to govern them. Giving Palestinians a prosperous and economically successful country is the best guarantee of peace in the region. The more you have, the more you have to lose in the event of war.
The river to the sea is the wish of extremists in Israel and Palestine. It is not the wish of most people in those countries.
