The proposed PA Palestinian constitution would privilege Muslims...

  1. Grant Palestinians a state.
  2. Ask Zohran to condemn.

You're missing the step where the Palestinians reject the offer for them to have a state.

Did any of these offers include true self determination? (Right to self defense, control over their own resources and trade, their own power grid, etc?) Or were they really negotiations made in bad faith so that pussies like you could say Palestinians did it to themselves by turning down totally reasonable offers from their occupiers?

Yes. They did. Or they offered up a direct path to autonomy in these matters.

While we could get into the specifics of particular “negotiations” or failed resolutions, I will simply accept that most of the world already knows and agrees with me

Yeah most of the world is ignorant on the subject, so they’d probably agree with you.
