I wasn't aware that they were pretty close to a peace deal at one point before extremists on both sides derailed it.

I don't think that's true.

Oh, it's fashionable now to look back at 2000 and claim that they were thiiiiiiiiis close to a deal. But they really weren't, because they never solved the issue of the Right of Return. And that's why polling on these issues is misleading. Because even though most Israelis might support a two-state solution, and most Palestinians would also support a two-state solution, they are likely supporting two different proposals that are inconsistent with each other. The former a two state for two peoples solution, and the latter an Israel that has a full right of return than ends up completely pluralistic and a Palestinian state.

Sadly, the two positions may be forever irreconcilable.
