Correcto, Larry. The Palies "want the issue," not the solution. Just like the Dems in this country who rail about this or that but resist efforts to actually pass an act that solves "this and that." They'd rather have the campaign issue than the solution.
Arafat is a campaigner - if an extremely violent and terroristic one. That's all he lives for. There is no goal for him, just the perpetuation of violence. The minute there's a Pally state, he has no reason to get up in the morning.

At some point, I think Israel needs to send an unmistakable message that NO leader will be allowed to be a sponsor of terror.
