I'm sure they would be furiously rejected by one or both sides. (1) Everyone recognizes everyone else's right to exist. (2) Israel clears out the settlements on the West Bank and Gaza, and turns the land over to the State of Palestine. (3) The right of return exists, but only to Palestine, not to the State of Israel. (i.e., eliminate the Trojan Horse) (4) Jerusalem (the historical and religiously significant part) becomes a United Nations protectorate, not part of any State, held in trust for Humankind as a whole. The other parts of the city are divided between Israel and Palestine, and they can have their capitals there if they wish. It's hard to be optimistic about getting anywhere near there from here. Ben
