Israel. Palestine has refused 60+% of Israel's land on multiple occasions.

@supercalifragilisticexpialidoc I think someone told you backwards. Neither side has ever offered 60% of their land. Rather, that's about the percentage of the West Bank that Israel is encroaching on.
@Xuan12 no. After the world wars Israel was given the land by the world council. Palestine no longer had anything. So they started fighting Israel. Israel then gave Palestine Gaza which Palestine then started using as a missile launching site to attack Israel. Israel offered land in several treaties and Palestine said no to every one of them. Palestine wants Israel to be nothing and will stop only when there is no Israel left.

@supercalifragilisticexpialidoc No...whoever is telling you this is wrong. Here's a map of what the territory was intended to look like after WWII.


Both nations were granted formerly British controlled territory. Both found it unsatisfactory, as neither one of these territories constitutes a feasible nation. After some fighting, Israel had most of it. Jordan however annexed the West Bank. Later Jordan relinquished the territory, but neither has Israel formally claimed it either. Most recognize the West Bank therefore as Palestinian, and 90% of the people living there are Palestinian. At no time has Israel ever offered 60% of it's land to Palestine. They'd be crazy to do so.
@Xuan12 I'll look for my sources...I remember some of that brought up but there was a lot more
