Ideas for solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

With the Jewish state encroaching more and more into Arab lands through colonization and annexation, the famed “Two State Solution” is looking more and more as a ludicrous idea, as the Palestinians would have a disconnected, disjointed and isolated bunch of communities that would never amount to a state. 

I have also thought about a simpler option which would be a partition on a straight line, somewhere between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, just like we have in Korea, in which the North part would go to Israel and the South to the Palestinians, with whatever each party feel comfortable with in terms of physical partition (nothing at all, a fence or a formidable wall). 

People would be free to stay where they live today, but their lives would fall under either the Israeli or the Palestinian administrations. This would be a very tough sale. 

The other – and better option, I believe – would be to have all these folks living peacefully in one country named United Palestine and that would no longer be the Jewish Theocracy as we know it today, but a secular, democratic government, where all faiths and ethnic origins would have to live, work and coexist peacefully, whether they love it or not. 

That’s right coexist! At least this would for a change be something positive to look forward to...
