This is why the concept of an imposed solution has so much merit. I'm surprised it has not been considered seriously.

I agree that this is the only half-way viable solution at this point, but how much chance do we have of it actually happening, since it would require us to treat Israel like a rebellious child?

I do not foresee any US administration doing that, even though it needs to be done.

I'm not. The Israelis would trust no one to be the peacekeepers of this imposed peace, not even the Americans, unless subject to extreme pressure. All that American peacekeepers would accomplish is taking over the anti-terrorism duties on the West Bank and Gaza. Sounds like fun, yes?

The Israeli/Pal conflict will be solved when both sides want it solved, and everybody else butts out. For now, the chief problem is that only one side wants it solved. The other side is willing to spend the next hundred years or so chucking out "the new Crusaders". You have to understand the timescale Hamas and Fatah work on to make any sense out of their actions.
