>Solution 1 would be great, except that if you gave the Palestinians a majority in the new government, they would rapidly do two things. 1) Create a corrupted mess out of all functioning governmental institutions. 2) Pass a law to exterminate all Israelis. I don't think they'd go that far, but they'd certainly turn the tables and make the Jews second-class citizens. >Solution 2 is silly. Why do the Palestinians deserve Jerusalem? I like the UN solution better. Make Jerusalem an international city belonging to no country. That way all religious people can visit it without fear of persecution. I agree. -Z

Solution 2 is silly. Why do the Palestinians deserve Jerusalem? Three reasons come to mind. 1- They've had it for the majority of the past 2,000 years. 2- The third most holy site in Islam is located there. 3- Given the choice of metting the wishes of ~1.5 billion worldwide Muslims or ~16 million worldwide Jews, the numbers say a democratic world would give it to the Muslims. I like the UN solution better. Make Jerusalem an international city belonging to no country. That way all religious people can visit it without fear of persecution. Yeah, it's an option. Pretty much unprecented, but it could work.
