While I'm not trying to give all the blame to Israel, the Palestinians will accept a two-state solution.

There is a resolution in the UN right now, has been since 1998, that lays out a path to peace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_43/176#:~:text=in%20this%20matter.-,Votes,that%20voted%20against%20the%20resolution.). All it requires of Israel is that they stop breaking international law.

It has overwhelming international support. In fact, in its first vote, 138 countries supported it, two abstained, and only two objected. I'll let you guess which two. Since then, it's been voted on around a dozen times. Pretty much the exact same result each time.

Also, in 1982, the then prime minister of Israel referred to Palestinians as 'two-footed beasts." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_stereotypes_of_Palestinians_in_Israeli_discourse#:~:text=According%20to%20Amnon%20Kapeliouk%2C%20in,%2Fpredators%22%20(hayotteref).). And Israelis and Palestinians were killing each other in the 70s and 80s too. The majority have always been willing to coexist. Sadly, a meaningful minority on both sides aren't.

You accuse me of ignorance of history? I suggest you read something other than basic propaganda. I suggest you also try to learn a little more about then conditions of that daily commute into Israel for Palestinians. The two-tier system of access and the arbitrary harassment inflicted by the IDF.
