In 1967 nobody knew about any "Palestinians".They emerged in the world politics after the Six-Day war of 1967, together with the equally senseless definitions like "The West bank", after Israel in the course of the defensive war liberated from Arab occupation the heartland of the Jewish land: Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem.
It was after that brilliant victory when Arabs who lived there before that, who considered themselves Syrians, Egyptians and Jordanians and kept the national passports of these countries and were quite content about this all of a sudden became "Palestinians".
So, putting it simple: while Arab population of Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem lives under the jurisdiction of any Arab country, they are normal Arabs. But as soon as they lose a war to Israel, they become "Palestinians"

What are the conditions of Obama's 2011 peace treaty regarding Israel reverting its borders to those before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war?
This was not President Obama's peace treaty. It was his suggestion for a negotiating position for peace talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
What was the relationship between Israel and Palestine like before 1984?
If this question is asking about political relations between Israel and Palestine, then the answer is rather simple: Palestine did not exist. Palestine only became a country in the late 1980s or early 1990s depending on the particular interpretation of history chosen. At this point, the Palestine Liberation Organization, the forerunner to the current Palestinian Authority (the recognized government of Palestine), was a stateless organization that believed in no negotiation or peace with the State of Israel. If this question is asking about personal relationships between Israelis and Palestinians, the question becomes more complicated. Between 1949 and 1967, Israeli Jews had little if any contact with Palestinians. The Israeli Arab communities tried to maintain links across the border with Jordan, but with little luck. Between 1967 and 1987, many Palestinians got jobs in Israel and correspondingly, there was relatively high degree of contact. Palestinians formed large portions of the workforce in many unskilled professions during this period. While the Occupation certainly bothered and infuriated the Palestinians, it was nowhere near as strong and omnipresent as it has been since the Intifadas.
What conflict enabled the Israelis to take sinai peninsula?
The Israelis took the Sinai Peninsula in the Arab-Israeli War of 1956, returned it to Egypt in 1957 and retook the Sinai Peninsula in the Arab-Israeli War of 1967 and returned it between 1980-1982.
What is the major disagreement between israel and Palestinians?
If the intended phrasing was Israelis and Palestinians (i.e. both groups of people), there are an incredible number of disagreements between the Israelis and Palestinians and I invite you to read more about them here. If I had to choose the most important of those disagreements, it would be that both Israelis and Palestinians wish to each create a sovereign nation where they have power to create a dominant religious/secular, cultural, and legal systems and are unwilling to cede to the other specific key areas of the territory that would be requisite for that.However, the question specifically phrases it as Israel and the Palestinians, (i.e. Israel as country or the government of that country and Palestinians as a group of people). The Israeli government has no issues with Palestinians per se; there are over 1.6 million Palestinian citizens of Israel and around 300,000 Palestinian permanent residents. The Israeli government, however, has a vested interest in keeping Israel as a state with a Jewish majority in order to preserve its identity and so the desire that the worldwide 11 million Palestinian population has to live in the lands under Israeli sovereignty necessarily threatens that goal. This results in antagonism between the Palestinians and the Israeli government, which has come to blows at several points in the history of Israeli-Palestinian relations.
In which war did Israelis take control of all of Jerusalem?
Six Day War of 1967.
Is it possible for Israelis and Palestinians to create a system which forces them to become interdependent on each other?
Yes, of course. However, there is currently strong political inertia on both sides against such an interdependence. In the 1970s and 1980s, numerous Palestinians commuted to work in Israel, serving as Israel's dominant force of low-paid and low-skilled labor. Additionally, Palestinians were able to attend Israeli Arab schools, they became trained in more skilled professions, especially as doctors. From 1967-1979, Israel and the Palestinian Territories were for the other the highest-volume international trade partner with which they shared borders. Since the Intifadas in the late 1980s up to the current conflicts, Israeli and Palestinian leaders have chosen to isolate the two peoples. Most famously, Israel built the Security Fence to keep Palestinian Suicide Bombers out of mainland Israel. However, it also had the effect of making commuting between the Palestinian Territories and Israel nearly impossible, lessening connections between Palestinians and Israelis.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Palestinian state in these areas for both Israelis and Palestinians?
It depends on what "these areas" refer to. However, assuming that "these areas" refers to the 1967 borders with acceptable landswaps, the benefits to Israelis and Palestinians become rather simple. The benefit that accrues to Israelis is that Israel can remain a Jewish-majority state and therefore fulfill the mission for which it was created: to be a Jewish and Democratic State. The benefit that accrues to the Palestinians is that they finally have a state in which to determine their own future as opposed to the way that Israel and the other Arab States have treated them. The disadvantages are rather different. In the case of Israel, Israelis fear that an independent Palestinian State will allow for the development of terrorist Anti-Zionist groups that will target Israeli civilians. Israeli Settlers will most likely be ordered to leave the Palestinian State and those areas will become essentially Judenrein. Finally, Jews will likely lose access to the innumerable Jewish Holy Sites in the West Bank (such as Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, the Tomb of Rachel, etc.) In the case of Palestine, Palestinians will lose the complete Right of Return and will have to accept that some of them will never be able to live in the house that their grandparents or great-grandparents lived in. Palestine most likely will be a demilitarized region, which means that Palestinians would require faith in their allies and protectors to maintain a proper defense.

What would be the advantages and disadvantages of a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip and West Bank areas for both Israelis and Palestinians?
It depends on where this "Palestinian State" would be. However, assuming that the "Palestinian State" refers to a Palestinian State made according to the 1967 borders with acceptable landswaps, the benefits to Israelis and Palestinians become rather simple. The benefit that accrues to Israelis is that Israel can remain a Jewish-majority state and therefore fulfill the mission for which it was created: to be a Jewish and Democratic State.
