I believe there has been a long time double standard which accepts the fact that Arab lands should be 100% non Jewish and under Muslim law, and even be allowed to be at war with Israel, but Israel must be multi-ethnic, secular, and treat every act of war within its borders as a civil court case. So long as this world view paints Israelis and Zionists into a corner, I do not see where 'peace' is an option for Israel.

How about this:

The Arab States take responsibility for the Jewish population which used to exist throughout Arab and Islamic lands and either through emigration or eviction left those lands to resettle in what is not the State of Israel.

That as part of that acceptance, the Arab States take upon themselves the resettlement of those non-Israeli people forced to live such wretched existence in the Gaza Strip.

Similarly on the East side of Israel, there is already a State for the Palestinians. It is called Jordan.

There should be a council admistered by the U.N. and composed of equal amounts of Arabs and Israelis to negotiate the West Bank situation. So far it seems that everyone feels that Israel should be a secular state with an existing healthy minority of Arabs and Christians, but somehow a Palestinian State should have no Jews. If there is to be another Palestinian State on the West bank of the Jordan, it too should be multi-ethnic and democratic. And it should have a healthy minority of Jews.

There are already significant signs that an independent Palestinian State which no access to the Mediterranean, and over land with significant water rights issues, is going to be non-viable from the start.
