On the Israeli side, that the political forces have tipped to the point that a two state solution is no longer viable. That is, that the politics have moved so far in the direction of continuing the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza for the long term, that not only is no serious peace possible.

IMO, that's a misread. I would chalk up one win to the Palestinians in this intifada, only one -- they have convinced the great majority of Israelis that the great majority of the Palestinians will not put up with occupation forever, that the Israelis will have to withdraw. However, the Israelis are equally determined that they will not withdraw until they have a peaceful neighbor to hand the territories over to, and neither Arafat or Hamas qualify.
