I don't think the Israelis will ever agree to give up a inch of Jerusalem or allow a return of Palestinian refugees. It would be wise if they did but they won't. In that regard the Arab nations are asking for the impossible.

This is a three thousand year old problem. Something different?

   If there is ever is a  Palestinian State, East Jerusalem will be it's capital. The question of refugees can be finessed. In fact, an agreement has already been worked out, as has the sharing of Jerusalem. It just hasn't been sold to the public yet. Much depends on the upcoming election for Israeli PM. It is up to Israel to choose, a chance at peace or....Netanyahu.

 

   What does former Israeli PM Ehud Barak think of another government led by Netanyahu?

"The Likud, even with its team of stars, would bring us to a dead end of diplomatic and security issues, a conflict with the world and the entire region, and the destruction of Israeli society," Barak said.

 

My bad. Actually it was in 1968 that Moshe Levinger received permission to hold a Passover Seder in Hebron. He then refused to leave and started the first settlement in the occupied "West Bank".

This problem has been ongoing...ever since Joshua was commanded by GOD to go and kick the squatters off Jewish land...........the land of GOD'S chosen people

Just what the problem needs......more Bible pounders!
