To apportion blame more widely, the "Palestinian" question is intractable in part because it has had the misfortune to attract a unique amount of interference from the international do-gooder set. Re all this Euro-Commonwealth recognition of a non-existent Palestinian "state", I said the other day that the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation didn't need another krappistan to add to the five dozen UN votes they already have. But it's actually worse than that: were "Palestine" to rouse itself to rise to the low-grade dysfunctional level of your typical no-name Islamic krappistan, it would be a marvel to behold, and we would all rejoice.
Why can it not do that? One reason is that the "Palestinians" have been the preferred transnational house pets of the Blairite class for generations. The late 1940s was the era of the great population displacements in both post-war Europe and the Indian sub-continent. Hundreds of millions were on the move hither and yon. We explore their highways and byways quite a lot at this shingle. On the Continent alone, there were an estimated sixty-five million "displaced persons"; over ten million ethnic Germans were kicked out of Mitteleuropa (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania) with the blessing of the Potsdam Agreement. Where are they know? Who knows? But they're not "refugees" in UN "camps". All but two had closed by 1952, and that last pair were gone from Europe by the end of the decade.
It's different in "Palestine". "Palestinians" are the only people on earth with their own purpose-built UN agency, and a fat lot of good it's done them.

The main reason it is intractable is that the Dome of the Rock is on top of the Temple Mount. Both major religions hold their presence there as non-negotiable.
