With recent comments by some world leaders that they are going to recognize a palestinian state, the question i have is what would this accomplish for peace in that region of the world?

Curious about everyone's thoughts.

I don't think just wishing Palestine into existence will solve the hatred between Arabs and Jews.
Also can Palestinians run a state that doesn't facilitate groups like Hamas?

That has to be a prerequisite.

Valid and probably the same sentiment being muslim, but its not really relevant.

What Arabs, muslim or otherwise feel towards Jews, but specifically Israel is what matters. I probably conflated Jews/Israelis although that is still pretty much the same thing in this context.

500 years ago "Christians" were burning ginger heads in Europe.

Today advanced but religious countries with high technological background backed terrorists (yes I am talking about Israel) in order to justify large war crimes.

Honestly this is not a win. Thank you ICC. Palestine must be recognized as much as possible, France is sadly waiting the last moment, but I'm convinced it will follow De Gaulle's initial choice.

You can only have a state when you take control of a land. No state is given, even Israel needed to fight and win several wars to establish itself out of the british mandate.
Greco-Roman states existed by defeating the Persians and Carthaginians. Christian Europe existed by turning back Islamic invasions. America founded itself by wriggling out from under the British foot.

The Palestinians do not possess the force of arms to win a war to carve out a state. They have no allies to help them win any such war, and even the powers ostensibly aligned with them would rather Israel just snuffed them all out. They are still a divided people and a subjugated people, capable neither of peaceful integration into Israeli society nor a unified and consequential Palestinian resistance. You don't get rewarded a state for committing a wanton massacre and then losing the ensuing war, ask the Sioux how that worked out for them in August 1862.

Didn't the world send billions of dollars for them to build a state and they spent it on tunnels and killing?

What's the plan anyway? The US exports food, oil. China exports plastic camping tables and virus'.
Hell even Belarus exports.. Well nah but what is "Palestines" future?
Millions of people living off food aid for a century?

I wouldn't invest
