I don't see how claims of racism are relevant.
Not that anti-semitism isn't a horrid thing, but it isn't racism.
Acctually, atleast in swedish, does racism also include religious, ethnical and cultural groups. It's racist for an example to say for an example you hate danish just because there are danish and all they are doing is eating pölse.

However, I think now, even if Israel were to shrink to the size designated in the agreement, the conflict would not stop. The problem is now one of religious intolerance, not border disputes (IMO)
If this conflict were not effectively between two opposing religious groups, do you think it would have been resolved long before now?
It's both border disputes and religious. But they are both connected. some palestines hate jews because they associtate those with that religion with israel and some israels hate muslims becuase they associate those with that religion with palestine.
