Amir Taheri wrote that in the forties, had the Palestinians not listened to "the Arab street", they would have had statehood.
In the 40's they were offered statehood, instead they choose to fight Israel.
Arafat was offered statehood, borders etc, instead he choose the Intifada.
As I said, I'm sick to death of hearing about the plight of the Palestinian people, they've brought bit of hardship they face on themselves.
