There is no "Israeli/Palestinian issue". Jihadi violence against Jews in Israel and elsewhere is just a tiny part of a great problem and religious fanatics murdering people in the name of Allah in Jerusalem are exactly the same as religious fanatics murdering people in the name of Allah in Berlin, Paris and New York.

Stole is an emotive term, to the victor the spoils but yes, have them trade land for peace. But this time REAL peace, not giving Palestinians land and then sheltering in your bunker from their rockets.

Stole is the correct term.
There are great wrongs on both sides and unless both are addressed then there will never be peace.

There is Israel, which simply wants to live.
There are Arabs, who want to destroy Israel.
As long as that is true then there is no solution, only defense.

No, there is Isreal which wishes to keep everything it ever stole, and keep the Palestinians completely neutered and under their thumb.

Someday the Arabs may abandon their obsession with genocide and begin to build decent societies, representative governments and functioning economies. That day isn't today and it probably won't be tomorrow. But it will be a great day for them if they do.

Israel didn't steal anything.
However, the Palestinians have tried to steal our intellectual and emotional property by claiming to be an ancient people longing for their homeland (which is what the Jewish people are but the Palestinians are not).
They didn't name themselves "Palestinians" until the 1960s to put on this charade.

Palestinian nationalism is a 20th century movement. Prior to that, the Arabs of (what the West called) Palestine considered themselves to be Arabs, Syrians, or members of smaller tribes and clans.

Capturing land in the process of fighting against aggression is not theft.
And if Israel wants to "keep the Palestinians completely neutered and under their thumb", it never would have withdrawn from Gaza.

Well, Jordan and Egypt "stole" the same lands in 1948 and in 1967 we mostly "stole" them back because there were quite a few Jewish villages and towns in Judea under Turks/Brits? which had to be abandoned when the Arab armies invaded.

A French court has ruled (in a lawsuit brought by the Palestinians against a French company that helped build Jerusalem's light rail that extends beyond the green line) that Israel is the only entity with any claims to the land in Judea and Samaria.
The Palestinians have no claims whatsoever.

Yes it is stealing, just lie the Nazis when they rolled into Poland. It is less intense, but equally deplorable, perhaps moreso because it is a slow, calculated movement of Jews into Jordan and Palestine. That is why the Jews should be gassed out. They steal land; they die. All of them, including the children. Especially the children. Bullets would be wasted on such trash.

Rubbish. The Nazis started WWII by launching an unprovoked invasion of Poland. In contrast, both the 1947-1949 and the 1967 wars, in which Israel captured territory, were started by the Arabs.
"That is why the Jews should be gassed out. They steal land; they die. All of them, including the children. Especially the children."
This is the problem in a nutshell: Nazi-style hatred. I myself oppose the settlements, but I would never engage in the kind of murderous hatred that you do.

Israel did withdraw from Gaza. The result was a Hamas-ruled rocket base. Israel will not make the same mistake twice. Before Israel withdraws from the West Bank, it needs to know the same thing will not happen there. So if you want such a withdrawal, you ought to urge the Palestinians to change their ways and put an end to their culture of death.

Very easily. Space mission to the asteroid field between Mars and Jupiter. Attach rocket boost to asteroid slightly smaller than the KT asteroid. Drive it directly into Jerusalem at 30,000 miles per hour, with the impact crater burying the entire Levant under the Mediterranean Sea. Floods take care of whatever was missed, filling in the entire area up including the Dead Sea.
Problem solved. Can't have wars over land that isn't there anymore.

I always defer to the Bunty Hoven (nobody will get that obscure reference ) proposal for resolving the problems in the Middle East: just have a big war, winner takes all.
Sorted!
Failing that the Dave Nice (another obscure reference next to nobody will get) 'stratagem' is worth considering too of which calls for all the rival/warring Middle East nations to get round a table and resolve their issues. with a big pop quiz: 'Mr Netanyahu, what according to The Buggles killed the radio star?'. 'Is Video your final answer?'. 'Congratulations you've just won the Gaza Strip!', etc.
Perversely, both of the above rather flippant suggestions are probably a darn sight more constructive than some supposedly serious proposals floating about one suspects..

Winner takes all war sounds workable, but I fear any Islamic victor will be emboldened to take more land, as well as eventually divide from within - creating fresh conflicts. Islam thrives, indeed depends on, conflict.
A better solution may be colonisation from the West. Basically Iraq with the staying around to actually implement democracy, and perhaps stick around for a century to make sure capitalism and secularism are completely embedded.

Allow all Palestinians to relocate to sanctuary California. From a safe place, they can decide to either attack and destroy Israel, or stay and help build the country of New Palifornexico. Common sense would be to leave a token force in New Pali and fully overrun Israel. A two state solution. Pacific coast and Mediterranean coast. Otherwise I believe the dream of a Palestine will never exist. Palestinian men in Gaza and the West Bank are at wits end and frustrated.

Wouldn't change anything.
1. Cut all aid to Israel until they agree to a two state solution and recognise Palestine as an independent country.
The Palestinian Authority would fall and give everything to Israel with demands that Israel take care of them and give them citizenship. Israel won't give them all citizenship, so a war would start. Israel would win.
2. Cut all aid to the Palestinians until they recognise Israel and introduce a truly democratic regime.
Israel would refuse to do this. The Palestinian terrorists don't all need U.S. funding so they would start a war. Israel would win.
3. Divide Jerusalem in the same way as Berlin was separated during the Cold War with an international police force to patrol it.
They would refuse and insist on moving into Israel, so a war would start. Israel would win.
4. Give compensation to the dispossessed Palestinian refugees in return for giving up their right to return.
What democratic forces? They haven't had a presidential election in 12 years. They haven't had a legislative election in 11 years. If the terror groups get going, however, there will be a war. Israel would win.
5. Sponsor the democratic forces from the West Bank to retake Gaza from Hamas and have Jordan return its' territory.

The Palestinian Authority routinely threatens to dissolve itself and hand everything over to Israel so that they can demand citizenship in Israel. This way, they could vote Israel into an Islamic state. This is their real goal in all this. They don't want a puny little state that doesn't include all of Israel in it. Look at ALL their logos. ALL their logos for their "state" include ALL of Israel in them.

Yes, we all know Israel will easily win any war but that's not the point, the idea is to stop war without end and introduce a lasting peace.
1. Israel does need the aid and would be up the creek without it, it is the one lever the West has to use.
2. The Palestinian authority would go for it if it genuinely believed it was going to benefit. Without foreign aid they'd starve.
3. Ireland was the same but that generation is almost gone, hence why you can have compromise.
