Jerusalem is the issue, not so much the land of Palestine/Israel. In any workable solution, jerusalem might need to become and internatinoal city in a sense where ayotollahs can visit. Ayotollahs would have to accept israeli sovereignty over the city and the israelis would need to bend over backwards to satisfy all three of the great religions--actually 4 if you split christians into west and east. All religions would have to agree that any fighting or violence in the city is verboten.

If the US normalized relations with Cuba now, it would be the fastest way for Cuba to improve. Who gives a bleep if Castro is credited or discredited for said improvements. Let history judge that. As for Israel, I'm convinced that they must accomodate Islamic claims, via some shared or international status, for the holy sites, and they should largely withdraw from east Jerusalem. But Isaeal must also be assured of safety and peace. We should work for this quietly, and with all parties, including Hamas. Teaching old dogs new tricks is possible IMO.
