The conflict almost did end in the 1980s. Israel had made peace with Egypt and Jordan. The Palestinians were expelled from Lebanon and exiled to Tunisia which was the only country that would have them. Then the West insisted that Israel invite them in and give them command of the Arab cities, where with the help of informants within the Israeli police forces they immediately murdered all of their political opponents and everyone who was informing on them so that they would win the "democratic" elections that the West insisted they hold.
Nobody but old boomers are aware that the Palestinian presence in Israel dates back to the 1980s. The Zionist settlers of the 1920s and the post-WWII Jewish settlers have a stronger claim to the land than they do.
