Agree w your conclusions, however...

Those who refer to themselves as 'Palestinian' evince an a priori disdain if not outright hatred of the Jewish State. Inasmuch as their underlying agenda is based almost entirely upon unwinding Israel, it is my view that attempts at negotiation do nothing but validate a hostile, venomous legion that deserves the same sort of negotiation one would offer a rattlesnake slithering menacingly in one's living room. Either put the vile creature out or cut its head off with a machete. More than forty years of evidence demonstrate that Israel would be wise to perceive the Palestinian menace in much the same light.
