> They constantly say (understandably) how unhappy they are

Israel actually ranks very high in the happiness index, so they are mostly happy, doesn't mean they don't like to complain about stuff.

> But these days the Israelis have opposed a two-state solution for many years.

Yeah, which makes me sad. But also i believe the younger palestinains have also moved to the right and are less accepting of a two state solution. That's why you need strong leaders on both sides that aren't just pandering to the people, but are willing to go against the public will - and sadly i don't think we will see such leaders in the current generation (and probably not the next one either)

> And the argument is novel in international relations

Not sure it's very novel, israel's recognized international borders are fairly clear, legally there's just dispute over the west bank and some part of the north, but israel proper isn't disputed.
