If the UN hadn't set up refugee camps, IMHO, this whole issue would have been settled by now in the time honored way--by an exchange of unwanted populations, a period of war and adjustment, and finally resignation. This pattern or something like it has occurred numerous times in the past. It is the refugee camps that gives this dispute its intractable character, IMHO. Were it not for them, yeah, there would have been a decade or two of conflict, but eventually things would have settled down. The camps create a constant source of disgruntled people and a constant reminder of past wrongs (on both sides).

Nonsense. You are forgetting the religious significance to both sides of certain plots of land in this squabble. Why did the Jews go to Palestine instead of Paraguay after WWII?
