57. I can't recall Israel making any viable offers, but I do recall a lot of scam offers that would've

created a Palestinian Bantustan.

The only viable offer that would have had a chance to create a Palestinian state was the one the Arab League made in 2002. It still stands, but Israel hasn't even responded. Obviously, the settlements are more important than peace.

The interesting thing is that a Palestinian state is either viable or not - there's really nothing in between. If all Israeli offers were less than needed for a viable Palestinian state, what was the point of them? It's not as if Israel can dictate the terms of a two-state solution, and meanwhile the one-state reality is becoming evermore harder to ignore.

Israel can only keep on blaming the Palestinians for not accepting a non-viable Palestinian state for a while longer, eventually the current situation will become the basis for a permanent solution. The least racist society on the planet will just have to share their country with their neighbors.
