Well, the Palestinian narrative is fundamentally untenable. The Israelis are the indigenous people, kicked out of their land against their will by the Romans, and then later the Arabs invaded without justification and stole Israel's land from Rome.
Think of the land like a piece of artwork. A thief (the Romans) steals it from the rightful owner (the Israelis). Then a second thief (the Arabs) steals it from the first thief. Then that second thief keeps the artwork for a long time. The second thief still has no right to the artwork. It still belongs to the original owner.
I usually try to avoid dealing directly with narrative issues because the facts lead to Israel having an absolute right to all of the land, and my preference is both parties sharing the land in peace.
But regardless, by rejecting peace with Israel, the Palestinians give Israel the right to use force in return. And that means that the ultimate outcome is going to be whatever Israel wants, imposed on the Palestinians by military force.
