Israelis and Palestinians can live peacefully in one state, as we see in Israel. I write this on the bus, and Arabian woman is sitting across an aisle from me. Now, we also see that Palestinians and Jews can NOT live together in peace in two different states. So, one state solution, that is secural multinational democratic Israel is the way forward.
Polling from a couple of years ago indicated that likely less than 40% of Palestinians want a two-state solution. I don't think a two-state solution is possible for that reason alone, nor would it bring peace. Even if you forced them to take it, it wouldn't change their minds on Israel existing there as well.
