Agreed that that policy of terror by both sides of the war is not helping. It certainly does not provide a great working relationship for peace negotiations. I think they should both stop.
Which deal do you think they should have taken? The 2000 deal is really the only one that seemed feasible. And that still amounted to one side stealing the land of the other and then negotiating to give 10% back with some caveats. Perhaps with the position the Palestinians were in, they should have taken it.
But I think many people would reject it, including Americans. If our land had been taken from us and the peace proposal was we got to keep a few states in the Northeast, I think you know where public sentiment would lie.
