Palestinians in 1993 had other things to lose by fighting the Israelis. Since that time Israel had moronically deprived them of all of it. The only Israel thing still has the power to offer Palestinian in return for anything, besides a genuine state, is the prospect that in Israel Palestinian lives are worth more than if there were no Israel. If Israel does not value Palestinian lives more than Palestinians, and does of allow a Palestinian state, then Palestinians lose nothing by giving up their lives to kill Israelis.
A small state with limited resource can never win by making it clear its enemies lose nothing by trying their hardest to kill it. So Israel will fight until it inevitably it will lose to superior aggregate Arab resources.
