It's over-idealistic and it won't happen, but in an ideal world that's the only solution.
I have every sympathy with any innocent civilian, Muslim, Jew or otherwise, who has been caught in the crossfire of the Israel-Palestine war. However, I have no sympathy for the political parties, who are fighting a petty war over a glorified strip of barren desert just because it is labelled "The Holy Land". No. It's pathetic and it has to stop. Just make one secular state which is religiously neutral and give everyone there equal freedom of religion.
In other words, move the fuck into the 21st century like most of the Western world and East Asia have.
I think It's that fixation on what we wish things to be over what things are all are that worsened the problem to their current predicament in the first place.
