Does anyone have a solution for meaningful peace between Israel & Palestine?

I think that peace must be had.  The Isrealis and the Palestinians need to be seperated.  There is too much hate for them to live together and sing "cume bye yah".  Both sides must agree to recognize each other and agree to total peace.  \n\nThere should be a barrier built, at mutually agreed borders, and Jeruselum must be free of all weapons and a free city, supported by a multinational security force.  The East should be the capital of Palestine and the West for Israel.  This would be VERY difficult because both sides want it all.  \n\nAll of the Gulf nations, with their 7 star hotels, should throw money and influence to the Palestinian Nation, while the West would continue to support Israel.  \n\nThis is the only way I can see that it will work.

The problem isn't that Israel exists, or that there are Arabic (or Persian in the case of Iran) nations. The problem isn't that Israel is occupying Palestine and the Golan Heights. Yes, the Israel-Palestine conflict offers regional leaders "reason" to attack Israel. There would still be much infighting between the many ethnic groups in the region without the Jewish Homeland.\nThe problem arose with the end of the First World War and the division of much of the old Ottoman (Turkish) Empire's Middle-Eastern territory, from the Palestine (as I will refer to the pre-Israel Holy-Land) into Persia (Iran) and the Arabian Peninsula by France and Great Britain (the UK). Much like the division of Africa, ethnic and historical boundaries were disregarded, and unfriendly tribal peoples were crowded into the same states (much like Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda).\nResentment of the rule by the Western Powers, the Arabs and Persians looked to aid from Hitler's Germany in order to overthrow the French and British. Nazi involvement is therefore an important component in the anti-Semites in the  Middle-East.\nWith the departure of the Western Powers after the Second World War, the Arab states found their political Independence. However, the discovery of oil found the United States becoming increasingly interested in the area. The US sought economic superiority in the region, developing the strong-arm subterfuge tactics that it would later use in Latin America in order to try and control Middle-Eastern Governments. These tactics lead to mass unrest against foreign backed rulers, whether they were Capitalist or Communist (let Iran and Afghanistan be respective examples). Hatred of foreign blessed rulers, and the ideological strife  and rebellion these rulers caused are key causes of the lack of peace in the region. \nIsrael is supported by the US to a startling degree, while the other Middle-Eastern governments  are often products of anger against former rulers, generally fronted by the US. This hatred of America and her puppet rulers abroad is a cause of unrest in the Middle-East, as well as in Latin America (Castro originally led an uprising against US puppet dictator Fulgencio Batista, before US policies caused him to seek Soviet aid and shelter with the Communists), is a component of violent unrest in these regions.\nIt is naive to say that there is any one reason that there could be peace without Israel, or without the Arab (and Persian) states. It is naive to say that the elimination of any one reason is the root cause of unrest in the Middle-East, including the resentment of Israel. Three major reasons could be considered the most important.\n1. Former Franco-British control ignoring ethnic lines (ie lack of "Kashmiristan")\n2. Anti-Semitism introduced by Nazis (actually, this should be Anti-Zionist or Anti-Jewish feelings because the Arabians are actually a Semetic tribe)\n3. Oil and the resulting US attempts to control the region that led to anti-western sentiment that placed such governments in power--this also results in resentment of Israel because of its close ties with the US.\nThis is in no way a simple conflict, but a complex regional conflict with roots dating to the end of the First World War, perhaps even as far back as the Crusades. There are more reasons that I listed above that suggest that there could be much unrest without the Israeli state. \nIsrael's was most likely very much just the point where the Arab states "lost it".

I think this will be the best solution for the Middle East.\n\nThe Jews can all migrate to US as even at present more Jews are living there than those living in Israel.

Embargo the entire area, cut all aid to the region.  Offer a $200,000 USD per hour bounty (split evenly) on civil peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian delegates -- which puts them in a situation where if they want to get aid from us they have to help their enemies also get aid from us.  Both sides sit at the table and start chatting (in a friendly, civil way) and both sides get to send aid money home.  But if there are insults, silence, that kind of thing -- no pay out.\n\nOnce they start getting in the habit of being civil to each other for extended periods of time, maybe we can talk about a serious peace plan that won't get de-railed by umpteen rounds of reprisal attacks for some lunatic terrorist's attack.  And the moment that the talks do get derailed by somebody attacking somebody else, the money stops flowing -- to both sides.  Put simply, there's no point in punishing one side in a cycle of violence that's gone on since the book of Genesis...\n\n(Consider: The USA gives roughly $2B per year to Israel and was giving $.2B to Palestine.  If we can keep them chatting away happily for 24 hours per day for an entire year, both sides will have gained almost a billion dollars.  Massive decrease for Israel's aid budget, but a huge increase for Palestine's aid budget -- all while saving the US 10% on regional aid for Israel and Palestine.  The incentive is for Palestine to keep the peace talks civil and engaged (hugely more money than they're used to getting) while the incentive for Israel is to get to an actual peace plan so we can go back to feeding them the $2B/yr that they're used to.)

Peace is conditional only for the Israelites.\nHow many more Kassam Rockets must they accept?

There is no Palestine.  The "Palestinians" want the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.  They are a terrorist group.  What is Israel's problem with them?  Simple...they kill Israeli's and are trying to take the country away from the Jewish people.

It would be more appropriate to ask who is better for world/middle east peace.  \n\n1. Until they get their act together and stop all their squabbling (this means both Israel and Palestine recognising the other's right to a peaceful existence) it doesn't matter a dam (THAT is the correct spelling) who is in the hot seat.\n2. Until the US stops siding with Israel even when it is in the wrong, there will always be a problem in the M/E.

as usual more than it was worth to find a peaceful solution

I believe it belongs to both Israel and Palestine. Palestinians rejected the partition plan of 1949 so they ended up without a country which I'm sure they regretted all these years. It's kind of like having two nations living on the same space. It's kind of like Native Americans and White people in America only the Native Americans got a lot worst deal. But now there is a Palestine and an Israel and both parties should respect each other and accept the fact that other isn't going away and deal with it.

Take the Israeli influence out and let the Palestinians exercise their own free will independently.\nFatah and Hammas are two native groups in Palestine like every one else has in his country.\nWhy are you targeting Palestine only?

War must be declared upon a country. Israel does not yet accept the Palestinian state as an independent country.

Moot question.... *NO* Arab country has *ever* made such an offer. In fact they have *repeatedly* rejected resettlement of *any* of the Palestinians.  Nor is it likely at all that such an offer *ever* will be made. If it were possible I'm sure the Jews would *gladly* pay for the Palestinians to go. Wouldn't you pay to keep your children safe from idiots?

Solution?\n\nKill all of the pacifists.\n\nOnce it's only a matter of force, the bullies dry up and blow away.\n\nNot gonna happen, so we're stuck with negotiations on one end and military force on the other.\n\nThank you for your time.

Permanent Peace will be reached with justice first. Zionist Jewish Fundamentalists established thier State, Israel, on Palestinian lands. Palestinian farmers and villagers and townsmen were kicked out of thier homes inside Palestine and were exiled in many countries as refugees. They must be immediately compensated and allowed to return to thier homes and lands to get back to thier normal lives, instead of living miserable lives in Refugee camps in other countries. Since when was it okay to take someone's country just because some people claim God gave it to them like what the zionists have done?? Palestine is a normal country under occupation. Just like the Iraqi thugs where kicked out of Kuwait, the Israeli thugs will be kicked out of Palestine too isa. Iraq's Saddam and Israel's Generals did the same mistake and I see no reason why we should favour one thug over the other. Justice MUST NOT be PREFERENTIAL. When the Palestinians regain thier independence from Israeli occupation, oil pricess will DIVE and the arms race in that region of the world will for the first time come to a complete standstill. It's time the Middle Eastern people had a break, Israel's occupation of Palestine must end today before tomorrow.

This is an unhelpful answer but I agree with Tex. Israel can exist but not at our expense (The USA). I personally think that Palestinians and Jews both are two of the world's biggest troublemakers. Neither are innocent by any means. I am worried for my personal safety and my countries safety because of all this bullsh*t in the middle east. If you are a Muslim or Palestinian I feel bad for you. Your people often suffer too but then are ignored because of the United States affiliation with Israel but it will never give you the right to decide which group stays or goes or promote violence and hate. One of the biggest prayers that could be answered by God to put us a big gigantic step towards world peace is to resolve this conflict between Israel and Palestine but I doubt it ever will until somebody gets blown into smithereens. Its sad, if you are a Muslim I actually have sympathy for you too. Just don't hurt me or my country...please.
