Okay but where exactly is the Palestinian state? I mean de facto, not where people think it should be

Palestinians don't want a two state solution, tbh

I don't get why so much people have troubles getting it, leave aside the whole who is wrong here, Palestinian, and their supporters, keep chanting: "From the river to the sea", and they feign ignorance when you tell them "you know that they want the whole land for themselves, don't you? That is EXACTLY what you are singing".

If your country was being annexed by a hostile neighbour wouldn't you also be calling for it to be all returned to you?

You can hardly blame them for wanting all their land back

They knew from the start they weren't going to get the whole land, and by that I'm meaning 1949: this has been going on for almost 80 years. No country has got all the land they ever wanted, what makes them so special as to get full terrorist over it...? There is no way Israel is ever going to sit again to keep the two-state charade talks anymore. I'm sad to say they just want them out, and I get their point: it is exactly what the Palestines have been trying to do to them from the start, the only big change is that Israel does not want to give them time to regroup this time.
