Israel Should Cede Land From The West Bank To The Palestinians
It is the only hope for a lasting peace. Jews who intend to fight for every inch are zealots trying to fulfill God's promise to Abraham.

Israel needs to sacrifice land just like the Palestinians did for them in 1948. I personally believe that Palestine as a right to exist as a nation and should be granted the Gaza Strip and portions of the West Bank. Israel, by oppressing the Palestinians, is a reversal of their past, this time with Israel being the oppressor

Without doubt there will be no lasting peace untill both sides understand and take into consideration the others position. Ceding land to the Palestinians that was once theirs by right would seem to be the least they can do

Personally, I think they are all t*ts.
Most people wouldn't care if their neighbour was an Arab, Jew or Klingon, as long as they were a good neighbour.
You tend to start caring if they are trying to kill, evict or bully you though.
You cant really blame one side, but you could blame them both.
I'd make them live together, as one state. Israelastine. Or Palarael. Interbreed the cliques. Mongrels make the best pedigrees.

Not just the West Bank, but the Gaza Strip. The 1967 Borders have always been the Palestinians' goal and are acceptable to them and the rest of the muslim world.

The problem is, Israel wants the complete ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The jews want Palestinans to "wander the world" for 2000 years like they were forced to. Israel's actions are about petty revenge, not a need for more room.

It would not be enough for the Palestinians.

Both sides need to make concessions, neither side needs to make unilateral moves more than the other.

 The Palestinians can offer nothing, like any minority can offer to a majority. This is not appeasement. This is slowing the flow of terrorism and hostility in the Middle East.
