Israel and the PA have already signed agreements on water sharing and in fact cooperate bilaterally on water management. The PA has no control over its airspace because it is not recognized as a state.
In any case, the core issues in the current off and on again talks are not water and over-flights, but refugees, Jerusalem and settlements.

The Israeli's don't really want to negotiate a fair solution, and why should they when we are giving them weapons.

If you follow the Israeli press, you would know that a majority of Israelis are strongly in favor of finding a peaceful solution. A minority of Israelis oppose negotiating core issues like Jerusalem. The political faction to watch is the one in power.
You can cry about the past, about how Israelis created a state in Palestine and what they have done since to ensure their survival. History is full of similar stories. The current reality, however, is what matters. So spare me the analogy of the blacks and Indians.
The reality is that no solution is going to give the Palestinians a whole loaf at one time. It's even possible that no comprehensive agreement will ever be signed, and that a de facto peace will evolve slowly like a Chinese water torture--one drip at a time. In either case, full normalization will come only after a period of peaceful coexistence, cooperative relations and mutual respect.
