but things are moving in the right direction and the Palestinians are fighting for a way to be able to govern themselves and distance themselves from the oppression and brutality that Israel puts them through day after day

But it's not Israel that's holding them down. Seems to me the entire Arab world has no desire to see them do well either. The Palestinians need to create a government, create a country, and then start acting like a country. Then they need to pray that Israel will accept them and knock off their shit.

No amount of shouting accusations at each other and sabre rattling is going to achieve the demise of Israel. So the haters from both sides may as well just STFU.
The only way to get rid of Israel is with a war that could easily spark something that will be catastrophic for the whole world.
The only real option is to work out a way that Israel can exist peacefully in that region.

I don't think a war with Israel will solve anything. Israel, and more specifically the Jewish race, is one of the few races in the world that was faced with extinction. They take their defense very, very seriously. They've bitch smacked the entire Middle East more than once.
I think Israel will cease to be a Jewish state in the future. The Muslim population there is rising, and soon there will be more Muslims living in Israel than Jews. One fourth of Israel is not Jewish, and that percentage is growing.
