Yes, I don’t think Israel should be destroyed, for the record, there’s been enough time since it’s founding that people have been born and grown up there without having a say in it’s founding after all. But the Palestinians need to be full citizens of some state or another, a proper state with international recognition, sovereignty and the capacity to defend itself against Israel in the future to the extent that is reasonably possible. In theory that could be an Isreal that didn’t discriminate against them, but as far as current tensions stand, that seems very unlikely to be stable without one group or the other seeking to disenfranchise the other or worse, so they should have their own state, or states potentially depending on how one decides to handle the issue of the west bank and gaza not being geographically connected.
No one is stopping them from forming their own state on their own land. In fact most of the world supports it.
But they choose not to because they want the entire land that Israel is on despite not having the rights or the means to obtain it.
Israel is absolutely stopping them from forming their own state in the west bank and Gaza, indeed, the fact that Israeli settlements keep getting built on the west bank makes it actively harder over time for such a state to be created. The agreement of much of the world doesnt help much when the land in question is under occupation.
