“The story of two states for two peoples means that there will be a Jewish people over there and a Palestinian people here. We will never accept this….

It's quite simple. They will not accept Israel as a Jewish state, nor should they, because it isn't.
20% of Israels population is Arab. Also which other democracy that you know defines itself by the ethnicity, religion of one section of its society?
Removing the 20% from Israel and dumping them in Palestine would be nothing more than ethnic cleansing.
If you cannot see that, you do not understand the conflict.
