Ignoring 75 years of history and conflict.
Truly Israel is the victim here, those evil Palestinians trying to take their homeland back are just too much!
Before 1948, Palestine was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews, and Christians, as all groups had religious ties to the area, especially the city of Jerusalem. The land itself was under the control of various empires, such as the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and eventually the Islamic Caliphate and the Ottoman Empire.

And neither of current israelis, so why are they granted a Israel and the others no Palestine?
Palestine is not attacking them. A terrorist organization is attacking them.
There is no military solution to this conflict.
Well, there is, but it's rather final
I honestly don't think there is any possibility of any two state solution to the conflict.
Either the land becomes entirely Israel, or entirely Palestine, or the conflict continues.
I honestly don't think they will ever be able to coexist peacefully, and that's unfortunate.
Under the first two the conflict will continue
Iran needs to lead in reasonable peace talks but at this time they seem unwilling
I don't think Israel will ever allow Iran to lead peace talks, they aren't exactly friends.
I should have said “from their side”
But Iran turning against Hamas is best for Palestinians and Israel would have to be willing to give concessions
