    The solution

    Several people have commented that there is no solution to the problem. I am not sure that there is no solution. I am of the opinion that even the most difficult problems have a solution, especially those that unresolved have the potential of blowing up the world. The difficult issue of Jerusalem can be resolved by diving it and the right of return resolved b ensuring a symbolic right of return (with Israel recognizing the right of return of a small number of Palestinians).

    And it could be made to work. We forget that only 60 years ago Western Europe was divided bitterly and now they live in relative harmony. The only thing is that I do not wish to see that the world goes through another World War before we accept the inevitable.
