>Give Israel all of the West Bank, and give the Palestinians all of Jerusalem and Gaza.

Jerusalem is in the West Bank.


OK, give the Israelis the portion of the West Bank that is East or North or whatever direction it is (toward Lebanon/Syria) of Jerusalem, starting ~5 km from Jerusalem. The Palestinians get the land from that 5km point through Jerusalem and onto Gaza. That's the "two country" solution. If the Israelis are unwilling to grant citizenship and form one country incorporating all the land, they lose Jerusalem. They get their "Jewish homeland", but they don't get the Al Aqsa mosque and Jerusalem.

>Fundamentalist Israelis won't accept giving up Jerusalem

I don't think very many Israelis at all will give that up, unless it's internationalized.

They don't have a choice. The solution should be forcibly imposed on them (preferable by the UN). Those that resist can be dealt with using the "targetted assassination" technique that Israel has developed.

They can have one democratic state of "Palestine" incorporating all disputed land (other than Golan Heights) where all citizens (Isrealis and Palestinian refugees) are equal regardless of religion and ethnicity, and the government makes no laws regarding religion, or they can have their current ethnic state of Israel located on the West Bank above (but not including) Jerusalem.

There, I solved the Isreal-Palestine problem. Next?
