It could be many reasons. They may want to make themselves look better in the world community, they may want peace, or they may want to encourage Gaza terrorist groups to come into Israel to attack instead of attacking the soldiers stationed in Gaza.

The question was, when they gave back the land, why were they attacked on precisely those fronts? The answer is, the people who attacked them saw land give-backs as a sign of Israeli weakness.

Why would Jews want to live as a minority when they can live in Israel? I don't see the relevance of this.

But 10% of Israel's government is Arab. Why would Arabs want to live as a minority in Israel when they can live in Arabic lands?

...and they used it as a chance to expand their borders.

Right, they won wars in which they were attacked to expand the area from which they cannot be attacked. Followup question, is that wrong? How?

I also couldn't find the poll you were talking about it. Could you lead me to it?

Actually I don't know that they've been asked. But in 2000 Arafat was basically offered it at Camp David and his answer was to reject it and start the Second Intifada.

(What happened when Jordan was created) I didn't find anything on that.

The Jews were unceremoniously kicked out. They don't want "right of return" and nobody protests for it on their behalf.

A single-state potentially gets rid of Zionism, which started most of the trouble in the first place, presents the Palestinians and Israelis as equals instead of an almost caste system, and will show the world that two very different groups can work together and find peace.

That is incorrect. Correct answer: Arabic peoples would, through sheer demographics, soon outnumber Jewish peoples in Israel, leading to the practical end of the state.

They gave back Gaza. They gave back the sections of Lebanon they had occupied. Then they were attacked on exactly those fronts. Can you explain?
