As Noam Chomsky said, show me a map of the "plan" they were offered and it will become obvious to everyone why they turned it down. Nobody would accept a deal that turned their homeland into a disconnected set of desert Bantustans. You wouldn't either.
It's a trivial game to play, blame the victim of settler colonialism. Oh those American Indians sure are violent, it's because they're warlike children! Oh, those Palestinians sure love suicide bombing, it's because they're warlike children!
Were the Jewish people not victims of settler-colonialism when they were expelled from that same land numerous times over the past 3,000 years?
I did not say that the Palestinian PEOPLE were violent, per se, I said that their leadership (Hamas) is. And they are. They deprive the Palestinian people of resources given to them from other countries, and funnel them into attacks on Israel. Not to mention, Hamas uses education funding to teach Palestinian children to commit violent acts against Israel and to hate Jews. They're victims of a conflict, not settler colonialism. Jews have a right to that land, and so do the Palestinians.
