There wasn't a peace treaty with anybody until Egypt in 1979, remember? And Jordan in 1993. Still isn't one with the PA, Syria, Lebanon, SA, Iraq or Iran.

Yeah, that's part of my point. Sounds like nobody in the region (other than the Israelis) wanted a Jewish homeland where it popped up.

Israel could negotiate some limited return of Palestinians. Ehud Barak let in 150,000. But Arafat demanded unlimited "right of return".

BTW, Arafat also demanded that Palestine be 100% Jew-free.
Like Jordan already is.


And now Arafat's dead. Under my proposal Israel and the (formerly) occuppied territories would be one country which legally treats all the groups involved equally, so whoever supports some idea of a "Jew-free Palestine" would be considered an obstacle to peace and dealt with appropriately.
