Well the two state solution used to be a non-starter for both Palestinians and Israelis a couple of decades ago, but now seems to be the go to answer to the issue since Oslo (although we're nowhere closer to a solution today).

Public opinion can change if people see a tangible improvement in their lives from the change. I think the majority on both sides will tell you "I just want to live in peace with them."

The majority of Americans seem to favour the One State Solution if the Two State Solution fails, viewing Israel's democracy as more important than their Jewishness
