Palestinian Arabs do not want a state because every time they have been offered a state, they choose war instead. From the very beginning, had Arabs accepted the 1947 UN Partition Resolution, they would be celebrating 76 years of independent statehood today with pre-1967 lines. Collective Arab Countries chose war instead and they lost. They chose war several more times and they lost. If you risk everything to gain it all, when you lose, you don’t get go back to the status quo each time.
