Here I agree with you 100%. There will be no peace until this changes. Unfortunately there is too much dehumanizing going on both sides and its a bit of a chicken and egg thing. When people grow up in absolute poverty they look for someone to blame and have a lot of hate. The Gaza blockade did not help the Israeli cause.

- They have not recognized the State of Israel (recognizing Israel as the Jewish State would be a later demand from Natanyahu to go to the negotiating table)

I don't understand why this is such a big deal. Israel is a state and is not going anywhere. Denying that fact is not going to help you. You can deny their claim on the lands they took in 67, but the original state is legitimate. Same goes for the reverse. If Palestine makes any effort to get internationally recognised, Israel goes crazy and works through its US allies to defund any organization that recognises their bid for statehood.
