How is a two state solution Fair or Equitable to Palestine?

No one rejects it. But you seem to believe that all the conflicts between modern countries can be solved by referring to history. Something like "You were one people a thousand/some hundred years ago. Why don't you kiss each other and forget everything that divides you". Or "what's the use of trying to reconcile these two nations - they are genetically so different". It doesn't work that way. Modern problems should be solved here and now, without looking back at what was at the time of Alexander or even before. Otherwise the British and the Germans could strike a deal quite easily in 1939 - after all they share a common Saxon heritage.

No, I believe that knowledge and Reason & understanding along with Love and Compassion can help solve problems in today's world. History is part of the Knowledge that can bring about understanding.

Ignoring the lessons of history dooms people to repeat mistakes, exposes people to hate propaganda and removes opportunity for introspection.

We are all one race sharing this planet in the first place and should learn to be united and live in peace, yet in all honesty in a genuine way too.

In other words, even if unity among people is a worthy end to strive for, the ends do not justify the means nevertheless.

The way that we achieve unity matters.

If only Israel had had a few overseas possessions, then they could have recruited young Palestinian Arabs into regiments to staff their overseas military.

Well, it worked reasonably well with Scotland once they hit upon the formula. The "young lions" aren't so young or hotheaded when they come home after a ten year hitch...

As history shows, people do make mistakes irrespective of the fact if they are aware of history or not. They just think something like "this time it's not gonna be that way".
