I think the only way to create peace in that part of the world is to

let

the Palestinians get the West Bank and Gaza as a country of their own;

that

was what the UN resolution in 1947 that created Israel stipulated. Israel should abandon all those illegal settlements on the West Bank instead of building *more* of them.

OK, that's what Israel gives up. What do the Arabs give up in return?

They will acknowledge Israel diplomatically, the way some of them (Egypt and Jordan) already have, for all practical purposes. Furthermore, Israel's strategical situation would actully improve if they abandoned all those illegal settlements on the West bank; it would be much easier to defend their citizens. Anyway, you miss the point that the West Bank and Gaza do not belong to Israel and that it is illegal for them to keep them occupied. Not to mention all the eviction of Palestinians to accommodate yet more Jewis settlements - it is still going on! Israel wants peace? Then let them leave the West Bank and Gaza. That *is* the first step.
