But Israel was not the one that rejected two state solutions offered by UN in 1948, USA in 2000, and by Israel in 1990s, 2008 etc. It was Arab countries, and Palestinian leaders.

Why was Palestine not a state before 1967 with Gaza and West bank as territory?

How many times have Palestinians offered to recognize and make permanent peace with Israel?

Responding to your edit

>> If after an independent Palestinian state is established on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, all of West Bank and all of Gaza and then Israel faces violence from that state, then you'll have support of many you don't right now.

Huh, why did they not accept it in 2000 then? Why launch the second intifada? Why ask the "right to return"? Why call for the destruction of the entirety of Israel as a "white settler colonial state"?

It's questionable that the Western dominated UN of 1948 had any authority to make such a proposal and that it was fair in terms of how the territory was to be divided.

> Why was Palestine not a state before 1967 with Gaza and West bank as territory?

Because it was occupied by Egypt and Jordan and before then by the Brits and before then by the Ottomans....

Are you making an argument that the Palestinians were occupied since forever so why not occupy them forever?

> Huh, why did they not accept it in 2000 then?

The 2000 deal was a deal for 'less than a state' that's why, see my previous post.

I will be actually inquisitive now. This is certainly new knowledge for me.

What in the deal made it "less than a state"?
