I know, let's relocate Israel to a nice fenced and guarded neighborhood in Germany. That'd solve it.

After considering the trauma of WW2, as well as anti-Jewish sentiment and discrimination throughout the world (even in the good ole USofA), the world's Jews were granted a small area to build a country in. Notwithstanding the obvious fact that the land already contained a population, the Jewish folk proceeded to do just that. Hospitals, universities, tech companies and much more that constitutes a modern civilization were built.

Relocating a tribe of wandering gypsies, even if they number in the thousands, can be accomplished. But how does one move buildings and graveyards and a working economy? As well, having successfully fought several wars to defend that plot, it seems a bit simplistic to ask them to dismantle it all and start over elsewhere.

Conceding that much to acquire peace would make them pawns because they would not even consider such an option, meaning a forcible removal is the only option that could cause that end result.

I know it sounds easy, but that solution is beyond the plausible.
