I have my own suggestion.

One country, everybody equal citizens with equal rights. Muslim , Jew, Christian, Hindu what ever. No walls, no settlements. Equal representation in government. Everyone needs to have their say. No one is invisible. Had the group of people living here in the 30s and 40s been included in the plans....who knows where we'd be now. Jerusalem stays as it is now with all religions able to worship there. This is where I'll get into trouble but I think reparations to the previous dwellers is something that has to happen. I know this isn't very detailed and it's a very simple, general plan with lots of room for compromise, but If it were to happen I think the whole middle east could calm down and at least take one thorn out of the lion's paw.
oh ya---get the U.S. OUT! two thorns.-

Probably, but their politicians want to dictate the terms. As one of the articles posted by dissent point out, they don't seem to realize (or admit) that any peace imposed on the Palestinians can't be a real peace. Only an agreement that is satisfactory to both parties is likely to last.

Still, some of the people must want peace on both sides. I once knew a family, both husband and wife survivors of concentration camps, and who had lost children and parents there. They emigrated to Israel in the 1950s because they wanted to be safe and didn't want their children to ever go through what they had gone through. They are dead by now, but the children are my age, and probably alive. If they are anything like their parents were, I'm sure they want peace. -

anyone who, when commenting on this crisis says stuff like "it's complicated" or "this has been going on for centuries" or any other hooey that thinly veils their passive support for israel, well, they should be made to color in the coloring-in printouts of these maps until they finally get it.

peace is a bit like happiness.... always dependent on that next fix. always conditional. "i'll finally be happy when i .... [insert goal of choice here].... "
this map shows that peace for israel means when the palestinian territories are erased. for the palestinians? i think for them peace is a luxury beyond their reach right now. their needs are more basic -- survival, the prevention of extinction, in these territories at least, however futile

I used to think that a 2 state system could bring peace. I don't see that happening now. Theocracy is not a good thing in this modern world. It's not good in Iran and it's not good in Israel. There should not be a Jewish State or an Islamic State. There should be a democratic state and when the citizens of this state are oppressed they should rise up and let their plight be known to the world.
