What's been negotiated over multiple US attempts to broker a peace is Israel behind the green line with the Pals having east Jerusalem as their capitol. The Pals have agreed to this, but Israel has not. They've gotten VERY close. That's what they should do.

I think if you look at a map from the 1800's Palestine is going to fall about exactly where Israel/WB/Gaza are today. Nope. Go check an Ottoman map, you won't find Palestine on it. It is only Christians and Jews who put borders around Palestine, remembering Judea. Arabs and Turks never drew their borders that way. Before WWI, the area that became the Mandate of Palestine was part of three larger Ottoman vileyats (provinces): The Vileyat of Beirut, the Vileyat of Damascus, and the Independent Sanjak of Jerusalem.
