Honestly, while few at the time were particularly fond of it, the pre-1967 status quo when Egypt held Gaza and Jordan the West Bank looks good by comparison now in retrospect.  Of course, there's no possibility of returning to that: Jordan doesn't want the West Bank for demographic reasons and Egypt absolutely positively under no circumstances wants Gaza.

Palestine, as a disjointed two part country on opposite sides of Israel from each other, is going to be a dysfunctional entity no matter how the two state solution works out. 

I'm not sure why the Palestinians should give up their right to return for refugees driven out of their land in 1948 when Israel explicitly allows the immigration of any Jew in the world into its country.

Given the situation, there really isn't an "ideal solution" by any stretch.  I sometimes suspect that we'll come to the darkly ironic Arab-majority Israel someday by process of annexation of the West Bank and higher Palestinian birthrates.

The Balad first place, Likud second place election results in the 2030s would be comic as hell.
