Would Israel be able to start peace on these terms?

Israel no. The rest of the world yes.

Arabs even offered a peace incentive! but it wasn't good enough for them.

The initiative attempts to end the Arab-Israeli conflict, which means normalizing relations between the entire Arab region and Israel, in exchange for a complete withdrawal from the occupied territories (including East Jerusalem) and a "just settlement" of the Palestinian refugee crisis based on UN Resolution 194 (which calls for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict and recommends that Israel and Arab states to allow any refugees, Jewish or Arab, "wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors" to do so and to provide compensation for those who do not want to return).

And more recently:

US Explicitly Opposes Palestinian Right to Self-Determination

In the UN Human Rights Council yesterday, the US was the only country to vote against a resolution supporting the Palestinians' right to self-determination. Forty-five countries voted in favor, none abstained.

So you tell me who doesn't want peace.

This comes close but a bit more must be added to this formula.

The tiny Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and the equally small Latrun Salient which cuts the Tel Aviv to Jerusalem road must be part of Israel while the Palestinians should receive tunnel rights through Israel to connect the Gaza Strip with the West Bank.

Jewish refugees from Arab countries had to be settled in the state of Israel so descendants of Palestinian Arab refugees should be settled in the future state of Palestine.

I believe that these terms would be fair and satisfactory to moderate and realistic people on both sides.

Israel will never give up East Jerusalem because Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and a house divided against itself cannot stand. Basic logic. Israel will NOT give up the land it Re-captured in 1967 just because the Arabs gripe and complain and act like they themselves didn’t take the land from Israel in 1948. Israel got it back and plans to keep it. Any peace with the so called Palestinians must be built on the facts, not the propaganda. The Arabs got their state, (Jordan) but they wanted the Jews land as well. They fought the Jews and tried to take the land, lost the war in 1948 but took control of the West Bank and Gaza. They attacked Israel again in 1967, lost that war as well and lost control of the West Bank and Gaza. Now they are pretending the Jews stole the land from them.

As I see you suggest to return to 1967 conditions with some extras to Arabs that they did not have in 1967, like new additional Arab state with capital in Jerusalem.

My answer to you if you will check

1. Israel won 1967 war, so why Arabs should get some extras, not Israel.

2.Indefensible 1967borders were one of the reason Arabs started the war. Why Israel should go back to the danger of being destroyed by Arab?

3. Jews are majority in Jerusalem since 1945... Jerusalem was NEVER capital of ANY Arab state. Why it should become now?

4. In 1948 about 650,000 Arabs became refugees and about 950,000 Jews left Arabs countries and became refugees too. The refugees JUST solution should include all, not only Arabs.

I think people can coexist inspite of what their religion is and medical research is a great example (same as here in Lebanon the Lebanese Red Cross has volunteers from all religious beliefs and they serve everyone equally) About peace with Israel...mmmm...peace is a hard thing to achieve between Lebanon and Israel because both countries don't really have it in their hearts each one wants more than the other...what will work though is a resolution with rules that each party will agree on in order to live peacefully along side each other without necessarily getting along and being friends. We have to respect each other's boundaries and respect their beliefs and things will work out fine in the end, I'm sure.

They offered close to that - but it was the Arabs & the Arafat that turned it down.

They offered everything but a bit of border land for security purposes. Syria refused it or any discussion in the Golan in 2000. Arafat walked out without a word & started a war (intifada) at Israel in 2000.

The so-called settlements are less than 5% of the land with most as suburbs of Jersualem & much of it was negotiated into a swap of equal land - already resolved issue. Some of these Jewish communities are over 3000+ years old.

Your proposal is similar to the Arab Leagues - with one difference. In the version where they offer peace, Syria doesn't sign on to that wording. In the other version where Syria signs on - they don't offer to let Israel to keep existing. Yet sites like Reyna - ignore the wordings in the proposals, that say this.

My Friend, we all want peace,

But maybe the best is that Israel shell deal the palestinian issue,

like the Jordanian did (from 1948-1967).

look like the Jordanian never intend to let their “brothers” have their own nation.

why till 1967 the Jordanian didn't withdraw from the west bank and let the Palestinian has their own state, and Jerusalem as their capital ?

why does the US has special organization for Aiding the Palestinians refugees?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Relief...

why they don't treat the Palestinian refugees like any other refuges?

In other words, return to the original UN Partition plan....

It wasn't Israel who rejected that initially.

The problem has always been collective Arab refusal to accept a Jewish majority state. They want ALL of the land for themselves. Jordan, Syria and Egypt especially all maintain that they have claims to it.

sounds good to me. i just wonder though. the palestinians had exactly that prior to 1967 and they (along with all of the surrounding arab countries attacked israel).

the palestinians were not happy with those borders then, why on earth would you think they would be happy with them now?

In other words just make believe the war never happened. Or better yet the Muslims won and never lost their land due to bad thinking and should be rewarded with getting it back?
