> Being forced into a never ending apartheid situation may also be the reason.

An occupation is not apartheid.

> Give them voting rights

Israel tried that...Palestinians straight up voted for Hamas terrorists[0] who promptly eliminated voting rights(although based on opinion polling Hamas would likely be elected again).

> give them a state

Israel tried moving towards that in Gaza[1], it backfired spectacularly leading to the current conflict.

Any other ideas on how to move towards peaceful coexistence? I think the first step is some sort of de-radicalization program, but not sure how one would implement that.

Israel has said: The Palestinians will never have a state. They have also said - the Palestinians will never vote in Israel. Is this not apartheid?

Apartheid by definition means race based discrimination, which is different from citizenship based discrimination(which basically all countries have to various degrees).

[markessien]

Anyone in the world who has one race can freely move there. People of other races cannot. Rights are awarded based on race. Nothing to do with citizenship.

Apartheid.

You're obviously referring to a Israeli citizenship law[0] here. Your claim that it has nothing to do with citizenship makes no sense.
