If you have a better proposal, let's hear it. Well, other than offering to transport both sides to different parts of Antarctica, there is no solution until they decide that: 1)It's time to settle. 2) They agree on the terms. Then, and only then, could there a use for peace keepers but really, if they agree on the terms, there won't be a need to peace keepers.

If you have a better proposal, let's hear it. 1. While the Palestinians continue to use suicide bombers the IDF will be deployed to keep the peace. If they don't like the IDF then they had better solve their suicide bomber problem. 2. The other Arab countries should open their borders to their Palestinian brothers, so that the 80% of the people who don't want to fight Israel to the death have someplace to go to live a peaceful and productive life. 3. Arafat should "retire" as the leader of the Palestinians. He is a terrorist and needs to be eliminated for any progress to occur. 4. The Palestinians should start having regular elections and should publish their national consititution. Hopefully this will be democracy and not Islamic Shria Law. If the Palestinians choose Islamic Shria Law then no further progress can be made. 5. If the Palestinian stop all of their terrorism, recognize Israel right to exist and drop the right of return (to Israel) and select a democracy as their preferred type of government, then after all of these conditions are met we can talk about a "Palestinian" state on the West Bank. I think step number 2 represents the best chance for the average Palestinian to have a peaceful productive life.
