The "Palestinian People" were a myth, invented by the British. They have subsequently, however, been quite powerfully created by conflict.
The endgame
should be a strongly legally protected and recognized Palestinian minority living within the borders of the nation of Israel.
However, people have become enamoured with the idea of ethnic self-determination, as though ethnicity is important at all, so, the vastly more-likely endgame is that one of the surrounding Arab states - I'm thinking probably this new "ISIS" state which we're seeing created - will become seriously de-stabilized due to internal and external pressures, a significant, or series of significant attacks, will be launched against Israel as a convenient scapegoat, Israel will respond with the asymmetrical force they are capable of applying, the conflict will spill into the West Bank and Gaza, Israel will flatten - or nearly flatten - "Palestine" and the area will be subsequently settled by Israelis and the Palestinians will experience a similar end to the Bashanites and Heshbonites of Deuteronomy 3:3-6
I'd like to point out, neither side in this conflict can be said to be morally wrong. This is pretty common, and usually works out in favour of the side which has the best artillery.
