Mr Pipes and Mr. Zwick in his comments have said it all. Militants, who are the ones really controlling palestinians only believe in one state theory, The Palestinian state.

If they believed in two states, and wanted to live peacefully with Israel, they had opportunities, first when Trans-Jordan was formed by Britain on 80% of Palestinian land for arabs, later when the arab majority areas of the remaining 20% land was offered to arabs by U.N. which they rejected.
