Said thriving would be fully dependent on the axiom that Israel would simply stop fighting if the Palestinian leadership stopped antagonizing Israel. This is a false axiom. Maybe I should ask you this: how is Israel stopping terrorism by annexing land and bulldozing Palestinian homes? The obvious answer is they're not. No, I'd say that based on the actions of the Israeli state that their goal is not peace with the Palestinians but rather to simply remove them completely from Israel AND their lands. Based on that, if the Palestinians stopped fighting, they'd simply make it easier for the Israelis to remove them.
