Quote "Can anyone name one thing the Palestinians have given up in the interest of peace?"
Can you list some things they HAVE to even give up? Not much.
There has been give and take on both sides. Israel is the one that is occupying the land. Give the Palestinians a state and then see what happens. You lump ALL of the Palestinians together...those who are bringing terror and violence do NOT represent the majority.

To defeat (or assimilate) Hamas, the PA needs to show progress. That means a state.

Yeah. Organized violence, murder, mayhem. I know it's asking quite a lot, but it should be the minimum requirement.
Israel is the one that is occupying the land.
They're "occupying" the (British-partitioned) land because they were attacked from that land in '67 with the intention of annihilation. Can you blame them for wanting to control land that was used as a springboard by the Arab powers for their destruction? If the U.S. were attacked by Mexico and we decided to grab a chunk of Mexican land after winning the battle I'd consider that to be justified, wouldn't you?
Spoils of war, and the Arabs always lose.
How about not trying to murder Jews every chance they get?
